I got everything in the course dir also. I definitely got SOME change, I'll review the changes again, but I copied everything over from your 1.9.5 moodle to mine. There were acouple of differences surprisingly so we must have different vintage. MIne says it was 20090624.

OK I found a typo in the datalib.php so now the courses are showing and I am running the Moodle with the tool adapter changes.

LAMS is still giving me the CSV error. It is not gettng the data from Moodle.

So that probably means someting is still wrong on the LAMS side. I have added the 2.3.1 patch to LAMS. If I use that do I need to also build the tool adapter code from CVS or is that included in the patch?

Luke did the changes in the LAMS moodle tool adapters so he will be able to tell us where the latest code is.

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi Dave,

Have you gone into each tool adapter's admin page and set it to map to your integrated moodle server? If the tool adapters in LAMS are up-to-date then they should each have this option in their admin pages (which can be access through tool management in the sysadmin module) - see attached picture.

If the moodle changes are working properly, when you access author, the url called should be like this:
http://integrations.lamscommunity.org/lams/home.do?method=author&customCSV=lfoxton,2,1,lamsv2&extlmsid=lamsv2&requestSrc=Moodle&notifyCloseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fmoodle.lamscommunity.org%2Fmoodle%2Fmod%2Flamstwo%2Fview.php%3Fid%3D219

Notice the customCSV is in the form <username>, <course id>, <section id>, <server id>

where the server id corresponds to the serverid listed in the integrated servers page both in lams and on the moodle integration module.

When you open author, is the url in this form?

Luke

Yes I did map each tool to the server. There is a checkbox for each server.

I'll check the URL that is a good hint. thanks.

Also when I got to the default content link in the tool admin it gives the same CSV error.

Ok i definitely don't have customCSV URL parameter for author when I click "Create Sequence" in moodle.

Can you tell me which php library contains the code that generates that URL? Then I can see if I have the correct version of that code.

Thanks
Dave

I think its the same one as I sent in the earlier posts.

http://lamscvs.melcoe.mq.edu.au/fisheye/changelog/lams/temp_moodle_dev/moodle?cs=MAIN:ernieg:20090623061401

in add.php, you need this line:
array('course'=>$course, 'lamstwo'=>$lamstwo, 'customCSV'=>"$USER->username,$course->id,$cm->section,$CFG->lamstwo_serverid"));

There also is a similar line in view.php.

Ernie is this correct?

Ok,

Thanks, I looked again and I copied the new lamstwo mod INSIDE the old one, so I had /mod/lamstwo/lamstwo.

Fixed that and I get a new error

avax.servlet.ServletException: mdlChoice tool cusomCSV not in required (user,course,courseURL) form: sgadmin,7,68

and I am looking into that.

It appears to have used and id number instead of the courseURL.

This was not there:

$customcsv = "$USER->username,$course->id,$cm->section,$CFG->lamstwo_server\
id";

the lamstwo_serverid bit.
Added it.


Now when I click Open Lams Author, add Moodle tool, then double click, it opens a new window and I get a file not found. Unfortunately, I don't know what url its trying to open, the url in the popup with the not found error is http://lamsdev.solutiongrove.com/lams/errorpages/404.jsp

Hey Dave,

It looks like the neccessary changes on the moodle code for the tools has not been made... Each moodle tool used for the tool adapters requires a few small changes - these changes do not affect the normal operation of the tool, but just provide some hooks to talk to the lams server... Can you find within your moodle code the lamsframes.php file?

Ernie has recently done these changes, but they have not been committed to the cvs yet, so we cant give you a full changelog. However you could have a look at the changed files in full and do a comparison between your source and Ernie's and merge the changes. Perhaps using a program like winmerge or meld for linux. You can get the full source code here

Thanks again! I thought I merged all those changes in but I'll double check everything.

I used emacs ediff-directories, but maybe I missed some files.

Wait :)

I think this is a problem on the LAMS side. It is not making any requests back to mooodle, and moodle is sending the customCSV information now.

If I look in the Moodle access logs I am not seeing any incoming requests.

So this is what LAMS is doing

74.76.1.174 - mdl_sgadmin [06/Jul/2009:10:55:41 -0500] "GET /lams/tool/mdchce10/

.jsp HTTP/1.1" 200 1092

which ends up at a file not found page.

Ok i guess this is the issue here:


09:00:40,568 [http-0.0.0.0-80-3:] DEBUG org.lamsfoundation.lams.tool.mdasgm.servi
ce.MdlAssignmentService - Could not find the content with toolContentID:2547

First can't find the content with toolcontentid 2547
Where should I look for that? What database tables?

09:00:40,620 [http-0.0.0.0-80-3:] DEBUG org.lamsfoundation.lams.web.action.LamsDi

ssignment%2Fassignment_types.php§ion=68&add=assignment&course=7

It tries to send to the moodle assignment edit page but the URL begins with "null" instead of the moodle integration server URL.

The author environment is opened with the correct data afaict:

customCSV=sgadmin,7,68,moodle&extlmsid=moodle

as passed into the author page.

Curiously the tool_content_id in question does exist:

mysql> select * from lams_tool_content where tool_content_id = 2547;
+-----------------+---------+
| tool_content_id | tool_id |
+-----------------+---------+
| 2547 | 23 |
+-----------------+---------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


Not sure where to go from there.

I turned on SQL debugging in hibernate. No query is ever executed to get the object when I click so it looks like somewhere its caching a bogus object.

I found this SQL where it creates the moodle assignment tool

and its setting the tool_content_id when it inserts the tool.

I deployed the assignment tool from CVS just in case it was different, but the same results.

Went into the source, I couldn't see anything that would cause this to fail in this particular way unless there is some sort of caching that is going on.

Hi Dave,

At which point is this failing, when you attempt to get to the author screen? And which of the tool adapters is it that you are testing?

If its failing in lams, there should be some sort of exception being thrown in the lams.log, can you see anything there.

Also, if you have debug logging on, when the call is made to the external moodle server, it should be printed there like this example for the moodle choice tool:

lams.log.5:2009-05-19 20:49:10,102 [TP-Processor1:] DEBUG org.lamsfoundation.lams.web.action.LamsDispatchAction - Sending to moodle choice edit page: http://moodle.lamscommunity.org/moodle/course/lamsframes.php?lamsUpdateURL=http%253A%252F%252Fintegrations.lamscommunity.org%252Flams%252F%252Ftool%252Fmdchce10%252F%252Fauthoring.do%253Fdispatch%253DupdateContent%2526toolContentID%253D126295&dest=course%2Fmodedit-lams.php§ion=2&add=choice&course=2


Is it getting to this point? Please attach your lams.log after attempting to get to author and i'll see if that tells me anything.

Hi.

Opening author works fine.
Then I drag a moodle tool into the workspace, say Moodle Assignment. That works ok.

Then I double click on the tool to edit the content for that tool. It opens a new window and I get the 404 error message. I am getting the 404 error message because the URL its going to is

nullcourse/lamsframes.php?lamsUpdateURL=http%253A%252F%252Flamsdev.solutiongrove
.com%252Flams%252F%252Ftool%252Fmdchce10%252F%252Fauthoring.do%253Fdispatch%253D
updateContent%2526toolContentID%253D2538&dest=course%2Fmodedit-lams.php§ion=
68&add=choice&course=7

null is there instead of the moodle server URL.

This is caused I assume when it tried to get the tool_content_id but it can't.
I'll attach the relevant lams.log.

Aha!

I think I know the problem now, sorry I should have noticed before.

Since 2.3.1 there is a new field in the "Maintain Integrated Servers" area. When you click on your integrated server, there should be a new field simply asking for the external server url.... (See picture)

Has this been set?

As I said, we will be putting together a proper setup guide for the tool adapters soon, unfortunately for you, we're still ironing out the process, sorry about the difficulties so far.

Aha :)

No I recall noticing it was blank before, but I thought it was always that way. I set it.

Progress! Now i get /mod/assignment/assignment_types.php missing error. I'll see why I don't have that file.

Aha, missing files from merge. I'll have to go through all the mods and find those. I think I got them all, then I get


Fatal error: Cannot delete class mod_assignment_upload_notes_form in /opt/coolstack/apache2/htdocs/MEL/mod/assignment/view.php on line 48

After trying to create the assignment.
