Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: LAMS-Moodle integration: do not remove the lams module

Do not remove the old lams module. Since LAMS v1 is obsolete now, you might be tempted to remove the module through Modules-> Activities -> Manage activities.

If you do so, the LAMS permissions will be broken on Moodle. Only administrators could add LAMS TWO modules. More technically speaking the following two Moodle role capabilities will be gone:

Manage LAMS activities mod/lams:manage
Participate in LAMS activities mod/lams:participate

That mistake cost me two hours of work today (my edutech students who have to learn some LAMS authoring could just create the initial LAMS activities in Moodle 1.9.4x (a header and a description), but the "Open authoring" and "Add new lesson" buttons were gone for them.

It's ok to have the old LAMS activities module hidden.
