Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Moodle 2 integration update

Sorry, some missing background:
* The Lams integration module breaks the whole Moodle scaling system, i.e. does not just affect the LAMS module
* Putting the LAMS module to sleep, fixes the problem
* Don't know from which Moodle 2.x version this started happening, since we don't use either scales or LAMS that much. I personally don't use any LMS for most of my classes, but in about 10 days I plan to use both, so a fix would be nice :)

Hi Daniel,

I believe there must have been an upgrade on the Moodle Gradebook that now makes this fail.

This week I'll have a look at this and hopefully get it fix.

Thanks for letting me know,

Ernie

Hi Daniel,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

As for (1), here's the quick fix.

Look for the following line in the mod/lamslesson/lib.php:


if ($scaleid and $DB->record_exists('lamslesson', 'grade', -$scaleid)) {


And change that to:


if ($scaleid and $DB->record_exists('lamslesson', array('grade' => -$scaleid))) {


That will fix the issue.

As for (2), I'm still working on this. However, this does not affect any functionality. It's just that I want to create a button on this page to validate the settings with the LAMS server, but with the new Moodle2 API, I still need to figure it out.

Let me know if you have any other issues with this.

Thanks,


Ernie

I was feeling brave yesterday eve and installed Moodle 2.2. Good News: The Moodle-LAMS-Mahara integrations still work :)

Q: Why would I upgrade just days before using Moodle + LAMS ?

A: After countless years of waiting, Moodle now allows to grade assigments in a more or less acceptable way (using custom made evaluation rubrics). Grading and feedback is the only use I have for an LMS.

Hello

I have the same problem as Daniel Schneider about LAMS settings:

"Here Is Where the button Will Go get_string ('validationbutton', 'lamslesson') bold"

The installation is local

Mooodle Version: 2.2.1
Integration Version: 20111205-lamslesson.zip

Thank you very much for the help

Hi Alex,

Actually, I have implemented this already last week:

http://bugs.lamsfoundation.org/browse/LDEV-2778

Also, I've just updated the link to the latest version:

20120111-lamslesson.zip

Very shortly, we will implement Moodle2 backups as well and that will probably mark the full compatible release!

Thanks,

ernie
