I have commented this line out. However, when I do, when I try to create a LAMS activity, I'm getting a soap error:

From Apache:
Uncaught SoapFault exception [client] SoapClient::__construct() - ... invalid parameters in lams/lib 147 - .. list.php .. really long error.

I have it working fine in Moodle 1.6, however we won't be upgrading until Jan and they need it working in 1.53

> I'm trying to install the LAMS module in moodle 1.53. It creates the table in the db, but then all I get is a blank screen.

When does the blank screen occur? During setup, when trying to create an activity, when trying to open a LAMS screen (author/learner/monitor)?

Try replacing the mod/lams directory in your 1.5 moodle with the mod/lams directory from your working 1.6 moodle.

If you do replace the lams module, remember to replace the other files associated with it as well, as noted in the install instructions here - http://lamsfoundation.org/integration/moodle/moodle-code/readme.txt

I did try and use 1.6 module in 1.5, but it says I must have moodle version ?? or higher. So can't do that.

I would get the blank screen on moodle/admin

It has to do with soap. I can comment it out, but I receive soap errors when trying to create a lams activity.

You can try using the nusoap library from moodle 1.6.

1. From moodle 1.6, copy moodle/lib/soap/nusoap.php to your moodle 1.5 directory moodle/lib/nusoap/nusoap.php (rename the existing nusoap library in there first).
2. Then in moodle/mod/lams/lib.php, do a search for 'soapclient' and change the text to insert an underscore, as 'soap_client'.

When you reach the 'create a lams activity' screen, can you click 'create new sequence' and get the LAMS author window? Doing this doesn't rely on soap.

Not sure why you get a blank screen instead of the normal 'tables have been created successfully' message.
