This is an unofficial clone of the Moodle Mobile app for iPhone that works on Android and Blackberry devices. It should work also on iPhone and iPad.

This application is intended and has been designed to be easily customizable by Institutions (University, corp..). This application uses common web technologies (HTML5 + CSS3 + JavaScript) and the high level multiplatform mobile Javascript framework Phonegap. Phonegap enables you to build your app once with web-standards and deploy to multiple platforms.

Please note that this app is not a replacement or improvement of the official app for iPhone (and Android when available). It has beend designed to be easily customizable and extendable using web technologies by anyone.

Just I quick note about a new feature:

I have added support for multilang (internalization)

It is posible translate the tool to multiple languages, the code is in the CVS repository

https://github.com/jleyva/umm/tree/master/lang Current available languages are spanish, catalan (thanks to Antonio Piedras University of Barcelona) and english

Please note that error messages are not translated yet because the code is not updated for adding the lang functions

Juan,

This is very nice work, and it is exactly the same approach I had in mind. I was gonna try to build Mobile App based on PhoneGap. This is a great starting point to me, and now I am trying to make uploading audio working now. Thanks for the hard work!

If you are using moodle 2.1 or greater, you need to set the mobile and tablet themes.

MyMobile is a good default for mobiles.  Moodle does a good job of auto detecting the device.

 

On the other hand Moodle 1.9* you need to install the mobile module and have your users get the app.

The URL is http://your.moodle.edu/moodle/mobile   note the trailing mobile .

Hi Tom,

have you entered the full url?

http://moodle.domain.edu/2012-01

You may also check the Moodle settings for using the app:

Yes, I have entered the full url in the app and I have ensured the configuration is as required on the page you provided. 

One other note is that I cannot get Chrome to enable Ripple so that I can fully test in the browser. I actually get a log that shows a token is being sent to the app, but the message I receive on the app is it cannot connect to the moodle server.

Hi Tom,

what problems are you having with Ripple? in order to debug quickly it will be necessary to have it enabled

Are you testing the app in your mobile then?

Hola Juan, 

When trying to open a PDF (view content) I get this message.

{"error":"Un par\u00e1metro necesario (token) faltaba","stacktrace":null,"debuginfo":null,"reproductionlink":null}

I'm testing from a PC.
What could it be?

muchas gracias

Upload functions

by Mariya Kulygina -

Dear Juan,

For whatever reason the upload functions don't work for me. I've done all the recommendedMoodle settings for using the app, changed the maximum size of uploaded file and other settings...

When I click on Record audio button, nothing happens at all, and when I click on the "Browse photo albums" or "Take a picture or video" button, it goes to another page with an "Upload" button and an empty window (the screen is attached). 

I'd be very grateful if you could tell me how to fix it. 

Thanks
