Activity Module: OU wiki

Example screen
Type: Activity Module
Requires: Moodle 1.9 or later
Status: Contributed
Maintainer(s): The Open University

The wiki is updated every so often when we find problems or add features. All changes are tracked in the Moodle bug tracker. Please use this link to all OU wiki changes to see all changes ordered by date, newest first. (The list includes issues marked 'resolved' or 'closed'; there might be unresolved issues such as unfixed bugs, too; use tracker to see these.)

Points and issues

  • Relies on HTML editor; does not use wiki markup except for links.
  • Can live alongside the existing wiki - does not make any attempt to convert content.
  • Includes integrated comments on pages or headings.
  • Supports most features of the old wiki except for wiki markup (as above) and attachments.
If you want a search facility for the wiki, you must also install the ousearch block.

Requirements

  • PHP 5
  • Moodle 1.9

Tested databases

  • Postgres 8
  • MySQL 5

Languages

  • English (en)
  • German (de, de_du) - thanks to Eckart Stoermer for translation
  • French (fr) - thanks to Nicolas Dunand for translation
Note: If reporting any bugs with ouwiki, please use the Moodle bug tracker (selected contributed modules, then OU wiki under 'component'). Alternatively you can contact me directly to me by email or Moodle private message. Posting comments here isn't a good idea if you want a response, because I don't get automatic notification of comments on this page.

Great interface and functionality! I wonder though if there is a delete function somewhere? It would be neat when administering to be able to delete pages and history versions.
Kind regards,

I updated the wiki to our latest release version today, which means the updated version should be available for download from tomorrow (10 January 2008). No major changes - and sorry, but still no delete function - just bugfixes and a minor pseudo-security tweak to the feed URLs.

Following community testing (thanks!) I have fixed the problems that affected ouwiki in MySQL. The current version now works in MySQL. I have updated the description (and ousearch description) to clearly indicate database support, php version requirement, etc.

    I have updated to a new version today (the new version will become available from tomorrow because of the way the packaging mechanism works).

    If you want to check, the new version has version.php as follows:

    $module->version = 2007102900;
    $module->requires = 2007101509;

    (The version hasn't changed from last time because we didn't alter the database tables, but I updated the requires version to the standard 1.9 one.)

    There were still some minor MySQL bugs which are fixed in the new version - I think these include the restore one that was mentioned. Some other bugs were fixed.

    A new reports system was added which shows (by role) who has been contributing to the wiki, including a timeline of edits per day.

    Unfortunately this version still does not have admin features to delete/hide pages or versions. We do plan to add this but nobody has scheduled any time for it. However I unilaterally decided that one of the developers in my team is going to do it even if it's not scheduled Irribarrea Well unless something else overruns. So there will be basic feature to (a) rollback to a previous version, and (b) hide a version entirely except from admins. [This latter one would be used e.g. if somebody posts something offensive on the wiki, so we want to get rid of it even in history view.] But this probably won't happen until September or so.

    Hello,

    I see Ger Tielemans - Thursday, 1 May 2008 had similar problems restoring a course containing OUwiki.

    During the restoration process I see this error:

      • OU wiki "Cinderella wiki"
      • Error: Error creating subwiki object (0)
        This restore has failed (even though it may say otherwise later). Resolve this problem before continuing.

    • Creating course level role assignments and overrides
    • Creating module level role assignments and overrides
    • Creating block level role assignments and overrides
    • Creating user level role assignments and overrides
    • . .
    • Closing the Restorelog.html file.

    An error has occurred and the restore could not be completed!

    If I delete the OUwiki the course backs up and restores no problem.

    We're on Moodle 1.9.1

    Can you help, Sam?

    Cheers,
    Glenys

    By the way, I chose OUwiki because it seems easier for students to use.

    I have updated ouwiki to a new version, available for download from 24 July. This is mainly a bugfix update.

    It fixes:

    • The restore bug Glenys reported.
    • The language file problems Jeff reported.
    • Several other bugs with backup and restore (problems with the 'links' table that maintains the 'this page is linked from' information; also weird things like if you make a page with a space at the end of the name).
    • Several bugs with reports (data was being calculated incorrectly).
    It adds:
    • An admin setting where you can choose which roles show up on reports - useful if your reports screen gets cluttered by roles other than teacher and students. (The interface for this is very poor - you have to type in role IDs. There's a reason for that, basically it is going to use a Moodle 2 feature that isn't there yet. Anyway if you don't care about it you can leave it blank, I think then it just shows students.)
    • Graphs on the reports screen.
    Somebody posted a question about how to use templates. In the fairly unlikely event that they ever see this Irribarrea the answer is that once you have made a template (by setting up a wiki how you want, & downloading template from index page) you then need to create a new wiki and you should be able to choose the template on the create form. You can delete or hide the original wiki (that you used for creating the template). It isn't possible to change template once a wiki has been created.

    Hi,
        It seems to work fine in my Moodle site (1.9.2+). Actually, there is still something odd happening. When I have some Chinese characters such as '六' which refers to 'six' in English in my content of Wiki activity, all the characters following '六' will be deleted. That is, if I type the following characters:
    group one group two group three group six六 

    I will get the result:

    group one group two group three [[group six

    Could anyone give me a hand?

    Alexander: I was able to create a page containing the text:

    Hi,

    OU wiki looks very interesting for us, because it works much better than original wiki (which does not work properly with Czech characters), and still we have problems with dfwiki, where we find alway bugs.

    But I had mentioned quite serious problem - if I make changes in the middle of the the text and I save it directly sometimes some part of the text disappears and I have to restore it from oldere version of the text.  If I make preview and than save everything is OK.

    OU wiki is in "visible groups" mode, we have moodle 1.9.2. If I make preview and than save

    Any idea what is wrong?

    Hello Sam,

    Thanks again for this great tool. I have a question however, on how you are using this wiki at the OU : for students being able to use images in the wiki, they have to upload these into the course files, right ? as students usually don't have this capability, how do you circumvent this ?

    I figured out that :

    • we may use some kind of alternate image hosting (e.g. Flickr), but it looks too complicated for the average user;
    • we may give students the "moodle/course:managefiles" capability, but then they have access to every course file (not only those they create);
    • we can simply disallow images in wiki edits, but that's not an option for us.
    So we finally created special courses with only one activity (the OU wiki), and students having the capability to use (upload, etc.) the course files in this course. But to my great despair users feel this is an uncormfortable solution.

    So, before hacking the code around and trying to make the OUwiki use a special "OUwiki" subfolder in the course files (with students having r/w access on it, which I would guess would mean hacking not only the OUwiki module files), I wanted to know how your students are using this tool.

    Best regards,

    ND

    Hi Sam,

    I've sent you a massage about the "cut text" problem in Ouwiki:

    "We'are usind the OUwiki module, and we are triyng to fix a singular problem. When we copy and paste a content from wikipedia, for exemple, depending how big it is the content will not be completly saved, So we lost a lot of content when we try to save the big page. But... if we click first in "Preview" and than we click on "Save" the content will not be lost.
    have you seen something like this? There is a way to fix it without update the moodle?
    "

    Note: We discovered something, this problem occours when we use moodle 1.9.5, and when we test the same thing on moodle 1.9.7 it doesn't occours. But it keep being a problem for us, becouse we cant update our moodle 1.9.5 for now only some archives.

    I looked for the fixed item in community, that resolved this problem in update, but i guess nobody never asked about this before, and its not like a commom problem.

    You sent me the steps to reproduce the problem and that is what we do to lost text when we copy and paste. Is missing just one detail, It occours in moodle 1.9.5:


    1) go to http://whatever/ (eg a wikipedia page)
    2) with the mouse, select from the start of the word 'whatever' (describe where this is) to the end of word 'whatever' (describe where that is)
    3) press ctrl-c to copy
    4) go to ouwiki and create a new page
    5) click into the editor and press ctrl-v to paste
    6) click save
    --> error occurs




    Thanks a lot for your attention. You know it's very important for community.

    In February, I posted about troubles with templates in OU wiki. Now that the school year is out, I had time to track the problem to the DOMDocument::load function, which is apparently not provided by PHP5.1.6. Our administrator has no plans to upgrade the server from fedora core 6 or to upgrade PHP for another year yet.

    Does anyone know if there was a PHP 5.4 (or early 5.5) function that did a similar job to DOMDocument::load, or have any other advice for duplicating this function?

    In the meantime, I'll be looking into this myself and will probably eventually solve it. Would be nice to save some time, though, if anyone has more PHP knowledge. My situation may be pretty unique, so not sure if anyone else will have the problem.

    Thanks,

    We are also having difficulty with templates. Creating a new OU wiki from a template used to work fine, but no longer does. The new wiki does not contain the imported template. In addition, when you first click on the new wiki after attempting to apply a template, a blank screen is displayed. The empty wiki appears, after you refresh the browser display.

    We're running Moodle 1.9.7 with PHP 5.1.6. I'm not exactly certain when the problem began, but it was within the last couple of months.

    Any assistance or tips would be appreciated.

    Any troubleshooting would be welcomed as I like this wiki much better than the basic install but most of our users will be copying and pasting info from other documetation. So this needs to work.
