Did you try changing your userinfo URL?  LAMS won't create a new user for the person coming from Moodle if your userinfo URL is incorrect.  You need to replace '%root%' with '%username%'.

Your own Moodle user can access LAMS probably because it already has it's own account created in LAMS - <username> prefixed by 'mdl_'.  At some point the userinfo URL was probably correct when this account got created.

Incidentally, this also means that when creating different integrated server entries, the prefix value also needs to be unique.  I think this is now enforced in the database, but not sure.  This comes into play for example if the built in admin user in Moodle with username 'admin' tries to login to LAMS - if there are multiple Moodles with the same prefix, then they both get recognised as 'mdl_admin'.

Hi Sonia,

I created an account on your Moodle server and joined the class where you have the Test2 lesson, but as you can see in the attached picture, you can't access LAMS as you don't get the [Open Learner] button.

I think that could probably be because this lesson is *not* within a course. Can you add a LAMS 2 activity within a course and see if that works?

Thanks,

Ernie

it works now, thank you!! so does it mean that I have to create a lams lesson only in a "course"?

Indeed.

You would need to create LAMS lessons within Moodle courses. Usually in Moodle the main page is for announcements or list the courses.

Thanks,

Ernie
