found a small bug. When I installed it I had to name the mod subfolder "udutu" or else it wouldn't install properly. Found this by trial and error, (at first I had called it myudutu) so you should automate the naming of the folder.

The initial release of this module had an important omission from the installation instructions (the module needs to be created into a folder called 'udutu'), and a bug that would keep the plug-in from finding www.myudutu.com when it tried to download a course. Once these things have been corrected and tested, we will issue a new release.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused...

The installation instructions have been corrected, and the bug has been fixed. The plug-in should work without issue, now!

Hey Philippe,

Thanks for letting us now about this warnings. I fixed them, so you can download the module again with modified files.

Did you have any problems running the module with this warnings? Or did it worked just fine?

Best Regards,
Cagdas

Re: myUdutu Activity Module Support

Hello Cagdas,

I have just tried installing the udutu module in an installation with Moodle 1.8.2 using apache 2.0.59, PostgreSQL 8.2 PHP 5.2.3.

After extracting the udutu plugin files so that I have a folder structure
..../moodle/mod/udutu/db
..../moodle/mod/udutu/datamodels
etc.

I logged on as the administrator and clicked on Notification.

I then got the rather confusing display of

At the top of the screen "No warnings - Scroll to the continue button"
but beneath that the message
"Tried to modify database but "c:\program files\apache group\ apache2\htdocs\moodle/mod/udutu/db/postgres7.sql" does not exist!"

"udutu tables could NOT be set up successfully!"

1. Does your module work with postgreSQL 8.2?
2. Does your installation script need to be modified so that the path being looked for does not contain a combination of "\" and "/" ?
3. Is there an issue with recognising the version of postgeSQL being used. I know that moodle does not appear to differentiate between version 7 or 8 hence possibly the reason why your install script was looking for a postgreSQL 7 file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Hello moodle community,

There were some bugs on user tracking and some people were getting blank pages when they launch myUdutu courses. They all are fixed now.

I installed the module for 1.8, went through notifications and when I tried to add the myUdutu activity this is what I got, followed by the myUdutu Activity screen. I was using MOODLE 1.8, then upgraded to 1.8.2 and still get the same result.

Has anyone experienced this problem?

Thanks.
Conrad

Hey Conrad,

I am aware of that warning, and i'm gonna deal with it soon. Do you have any problems running the activity? It should work fine with that warning.

Thanks,

It worked even with the warning messages. When I uploaded a small MyUdutu file but I got this message in the middle of the screen that allowed me to select my scenario.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I downloaded and installed the udutu plugin (ver 1.8) as specified in the udutu video tutorial.

I then logged into Moodle and clicked on the Notifications link. Moodle the displayed the setting up module screen, however, it does not show that it is/has installed anything.

I extracted the the plugin zip file to the following location on my web server:

[my website]/subdomains/moodle/httpdocs/mod/udutu

In the tutorial it stated that the plugin should be installed in the following location:

inetpub/wwwroot/moodle/mod/udutu

I realise that this is different, however, the location stated is for a server running IIS, my server is a Linux box running Apache.

Does anyone have any ideas on what may be wrong.

Kind regards

David

Hello David,

Myudutu activity files should be in the following location:

[Your moodle Installation]/mod/udutu

It seems like you put it on the right place, but i suggest just go there and check the files.

For example, is install.xml file in the right location?

[Your moodle Installation]/mod/udutu/db/install.xml

And which database management system are you using?

Thanks

by Gene Liverman - Tuesday, 8 July 2008, 12:02 AM

I uploaded the module and then decided I should point to our server so I edited the line in locallib.php but it still goes to http://www.myudutu.com/myudutu/moodlelogin.aspx instead of http://mywebsite/MyUdutu/moodlelogin.aspx when I click on "Get myUdutu Course."

Please advise.

Hey Gene,

It doesn't the new path because that variable is already set. You can comment out the "if" statement surrounding that line of code , which checks if the path variable is set or not. Once your path value is set just remove the commenting.

I installed Moodle on a godaddy site. It works great until I tried to install the udutu activity module. I uploaded the udutu folder under mod/ but I get this error:

Module udutu: /home/content/E/x/p/ExpressL/html/moodle/mod/udutu/version.php was not readable

Security Warning: to operate properly, Moodle requires
that you make certain changes to your current PHP settings.

You must set register_globals=off.

This setting is controlled by editing your php.ini, Apache/IIS
configuration or .htaccess file.

Enabling the PHP setting display_errors is not recommended on production sites because some error messages may reveal sensitive information about your server.

I'm not sure I have access to make changes to anything on the site.

Any suggestions?

Here is the version.php:

<?php // $Id: version.php,v 1.49.2.1 2007/03/13 22:09:24 bobopinna Exp $

/// This fragment is called by moodle_needs_upgrading() and /admin/index.php
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// NOTE The version below was accidentally set a month into the future! We need to
// catch up now, so until 27th October please only increment in very tiny steps
// in HEAD, until we get past that date..

$module->version = 2007031300; // The (date) version of this module
$module->requires = 2007020200; // The version of Moodle that is required
$module->cron = 300; // How often should cron check this module (seconds)?

Hello Steve,

It seems like moodle can't find version.php file. Make sure that this path exists

[your moodle installation]\mod\udutu\version.php.

It should be exactly like this, not like:

[your moodle installation]\mod\udutu\udutu\version.php.
