General plugins

Sorry, that's not supported.

Thanks!

This is brilliant news! I was hoping someone would make this happen but I had no idea the original developers had been working on it. Thank you so much! This functionality really needs to be in Moodle core.

Nyree, have you seen Mat Bury's MP3 Player for Tests? It works really well if you want to take away the student control of the player: http://code.google.com/p/moodle-mp3-player-for-tests/

Hello David, good to see the app ported to moodle 2.  I had a usage problem with the activity module and our database Postgres.  Postgres does not like an empty string for the value null. 

As Admin:

• I created a nanogong activity.

As a student:

• I attempted to access the nanogong activity to submit my recording.

I received the following error:

Debug info: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""
SELECT * FROM mdl_files WHERE contextid = $1 AND component = $2 AND filearea = $3 AND itemid = $4 ORDER BY sortorder, itemid, filepath, filename
[array (
 0 => '430',
 1 => 'mod_nanogong',
 2 => 'message',
 3 => '',
)]

Modifying the value for submission id dfrom the empty string '' to null seems to have cleared up this issue.

file: \mod\nanogong\view.php apprx line 159-162

$data->nanogongmaxduration = $nanogong->maxduration;
    if ($submission) {
        $data->sid              = $submission->id;
        $data->supplement       = $submission->supplement;
        $data->supplementformat = $submission->supplementformat;
    }
    else {

       // $data->sid              = '';
        $data->sid              = null; /* modified to null for postgresql */      
        $data->supplement       = '';
        $data->supplementformat = '';
    }

I don't know if anyone else had this issue or if this will affect other aspects of the activity.

Thanks

Thanks Frankie for putting it on your site - I just went and had a play

Hi Frankie,

thanks for allowing me to try out NanoGong for Moodle 2 on your site. It is great to see it work just as in Moodle 1.9. I have requested the files, but the Gong site does not seem to be able to send email (I tried different addresses).

We were on the verge of adopting an alternative to NanoGong, but this is what we hoped for .

I guess the caption element was dropped since for a number of users it caused snags to occur in the process of saving the recording.

Rgrds,
Paul.

Hi Herve

I think you need to install or reinstall Java with the latest version. It works fine on my Moodle 2.2 site:

At first glance looks like java not enabled in you browser maybe not even on os. Try downloading latest from http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

I have the same problem on Windows, with Firefox and Chrome. Java plugin is up-to-date

Cheers,

If you pay a visit to my Moodle 1.9 production site, you will see the "Browser Capability block" at the bottom right.

At the moment (May 2012) the block is only for Moodle 1.9, but it is nevertheless, a very useful diagnostic test that tells you, at a glance, what software is supported by your PC or computer.

From the green tick on the Java section, you should be able to check if Java is supported on your computer. Just my two cents to provide additional help where possible to pinpoint the source of your errors.

Hope this helps a wee bit

Same here, it is due to the fact it can't load jar file:

Notice: Undefined index: HTTPS in /home/troyw/public_html/moodle22x.git/lib/editor/tinymce/tiny_mce/3.4.6/plugins/nanogong/nanogong.php

This is running under Apache/2.2.15 (Red Hat) / PHP 5.3.3

I did quick test, replaced:

<?php echo str_replace('nanogong.php', 'nanogong.jar', curPageURL()); ?>

 $archive = $CFG->wwwroot.'/lib/editor/tinymce/tiny_mce/3.4.6/plugins/nanogong/nanogong.jar';
<?php echo $archive ?>

And worked.

Cheers,

Troy

Hi all,

I have so far tested NanoGong for Moodle 2 (the tiny MCE editor plugin) in the following tools:

Rgrds,
Paul.

It's coming up to summer so if they fix this by mid/late summer we stand a chance of promoting it before term starts. Hard work beyond that point. If they don't release updated version by September, and there's demand, would you be willing to publish the bug fixes yourself?

Hi Gibson!

Fantastic news. Smply awesome.

Frankie Kam

Hi Gibson,

Firstly, big pat on the back to you and everyone at Nanogong. Great to see a Moodle 2 release.

Does this latest version allow you to add audio to the assignment feedback window? We have used this in Moodle 1.9 to provide students with audio feedback and would love to do the same in Moodle 2.2.

Thanks again,

Graeme

Hi David, hi Gibson,

thank you for all you work on nanogong for moodle 2 first!

Here is what I experienced today: while I tried to restore a Course-Backup (without any nanogong activities) in a moodle 2.2.4+ site I got a nanogong related database read error which has been mentioned earlier here too: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=203740

I use your latest announced release of nanogong.

Are you aware of this error right now? What can be done to get it fixed?

Hi David,

The plugin for Moodle 2.2 works beautifully. But I am having one issue with the plugin/filter for the TinyMCE text editor. When installed I can use the text editor fine but I can't toggle to full screen mode. The screen simply freezes.

Is anybody else facing thie issue?

I am running:

Moodle v2.2.1
MySQL 5.1.63
PHP 5.3.15
Firefox 12.0

Thanks.

Beth,

I had the same problem back in July and came up with a patch to get it working. Go read my July 22, 2012 entry to Kees Koopman at this link for the patch details: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=207375

Hope you get it working,

AL

Hi,

I have the same problem.

Nanogong released the latest vertion on 17th Sept..

Q: did it solve all the problems???

Hi Beth, 

Were you able to find a fix for the grading and feeback issue? We are having the same problem when we click on 'Click here to edit'. It takes us to a page where we can submit another recording and shows the assignment information at the top. I am finding a lot of resources on how to use the nanogong, but frustrating when you can't see what they are saying you should be seeing. 

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you,

Tammy

Hi David et al,

I too am pleased with the new Nanogong version for Moodle 2.3.  Works really well.  I am wondering though about customizing the Nanogong applet.  For instance, I don't need the speed buttons.  I saw where when Nanogong is used as a standalone, one can go into module.js and change <param name> features to true/false to get the desired effect, but this didn't work for me in the Moodle version.   Can anyone point me in the right direction for making these changes?

Again, thanks for the awesome effort guys.

Dave

Just installed Nanogong (all components) in a 2.4.1. Moodle installation. Found Nanogong as a resource but it is not showing as an Activity. Thought it might be an assignment type so switched on the 'old 2.2' assignment type. This also did not bring me an activity. Can anybody advise if I can have a Nanogong activity in Moodle 2.4.1. and onwards.

Hi Ramiro, we've run into the same problem.  There's a setting in the CFG object called httponly, if it set to true, Nanogong will stop working.  Unfortunately, httponly stops XSS attacks from hijacking user sessions on your Moodle site (especially the admin account).  Basically it prevents any applets or javascript from access the Moodle cookies and Nanogong depends on getting the session id from the Moodle cookies.  So turning it off will leave your users exposed to potential session hijacking.  Until Nanogong is patched, it looks like you will have to choose between security and Nanogong.
