General help

Hi, I keep getting the message "You don't have the necessary rights" when trying to access the portfolio. I am logged in as administrator, on 1.8.2+, with version 2.0.2 downloaded from http://www.hak-steyr.at/eportfolio/?page_id=2.

Having looked at portfolio/view.php, the message may come from:

    if (!has_capability('block/exabisportfolio:use', get_context_instance(CONTEXT_MODULE, SITEID))) {
        error("You don't have the necessary rights.");
    }

Having looked at the roles, block/exabisportfolio:use is set to 'Allow'. Any ideas? The block is exactly what we need, if we can get it to work!

Thanks in advance,

Charles.

I use Moodle 1.8.4+ and Exabis ePortfolio (bookmark_version = 20071007;   bookmark_release = "2.03"). Still trying to get version 2.1!

"My export problem": 

I download the zip file created by clicking at "Create  SCORM file" during the export procedure. I open the resulting file with the Reload Editor (http://www.reload.ac.uk/editor.html) as promt at documentation (http://docs.moodle.org/en/Exabis_e-portfolio_block). However, the links between automated menu-entries and resources is wrong, therefore producing wrong html-views.

What is the problem? Or am I the only one facing this?

"My import problem":

Having a student role or a teacher role I can't import an exported portfolio (zip file), since I can't make the "Import" button appear! I have activated this option as administrator for both students and teachers setting the fuction "block/exabis_eportfolio:import" to ALLOW.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

When I import a Moodle assignment it doesn't mention the name of the course the assignment is relating too, but then name of the course from where I've entered the Portfolio.

For example:
I make a Moodle assignment for Course 101. I open my portfolio while being at Course 102 (mmp / ► ΜΟ102 / ► My Portfolio / ► Export/Import / ► Import from Moodle-assignments) to import the above assignment

(See image below)

After importing it (mmp / ► ΜΟ102 / ► My Portfolio / ► Files), the course name under the Course Tab is Course 102.

Shouldn't that be Course 101?

I need change sharelib.php code to order by lastname when I share my files.

Code (sharelib.php)

<?php

// Print a list of teachers and students of a specific course

function print_user_listing($courseid, $bookid, $table,$course) {

$teachers = get_course_teachers($courseid);

foreach ($teachers as $teacher){

// && $teacher->id != $USER->id){

$count_this=count_records($table, "bookid", $bookid, "userid", $teacher->id);

Hi,

Is the Exabis e-Portfolio module compatible with MSSQL?

I've just installed 3.2.2 and seeing a lot of errors with the SQL requests.  I'm just wondering if it's something wrong with my install or if the block isn't compatible with MSSQL (2008).

Cheers
Mark

Hi there, my English is not my best lenguage but i'll try.

I have a Moodle 1.6.3 plataform install and for many reasosn i can not upgrade to a new or actually version.

My Moodle is on Pstgres SQL and i need to install e-portfolio on it, i'll try with various Mod/Bloks, and for various reasosn (My version of Moodle, My version of PHP, My version of Postgres or the fact of using Postgres) none of my intent can get my objetive.

Well, i found a great document with a comparatyion of 4 e-portfolios, on it i found information about EXABIS and the version for my plataform, EXABIS 1.06, i have it (downloaded) and try to install but in the folder /bloks/eportfolio/db (from EXABIS 1.06) don't exist the files postgres7.sql & postgres7.php...can any body help me to migrate mysql.sql & mysql.php (original from EXABIS 1.06) to postgres7.sql & postgres7.php?

many thanks

Fteillier

For those using MSSQL, please find below the change that I needed to make to:

/exabis_eportfolio/view_items.php

SQL statement on line 91

Changed the where/group by line from:

" where i.userid = $USER->id $sql_type_where group by i.id, i.name, i.intro, i.timemodified, cname, cname_parent, coursename $sql_sort";

to:

  " where i.userid = $USER->id $sql_type_where".
  " group by i.id, i.name, i.intro, i.timemodified, ic.name, ic2.name, c.fullname".
  " ,i.userid, i.type, i.categoryid, i.url, i.attachment, i.courseid,i.shareall, i.externaccess, i.externcomment, i.sortorder".
  " $sql_sort";

I broke the line up purely for readability. Bolded parts are the changed/added bits of code.

The query statement now looks like:

$query = "select i.*, ic.name AS cname, ic2.name AS cname_parent, c.fullname As coursename, COUNT(com.id) As comments".
  " from {$CFG->prefix}block_exabeporitem i".
  " join {$CFG->prefix}block_exabeporcate ic on i.categoryid = ic.id".
  " left join {$CFG->prefix}block_exabeporcate ic2 on ic.pid = ic2.id".
  " left join {$CFG->prefix}course c on i.courseid = c.id".
  " left join {$CFG->prefix}block_exabeporitemcomm com on com.itemid = i.id".
  " where i.userid = $USER->id $sql_type_where".
  " group by i.id, i.name, i.intro, i.timemodified, ic.name, ic2.name, c.fullname".
  " ,i.userid, i.type, i.categoryid, i.url, i.attachment, i.courseid,i.shareall, i.externaccess, i.externcomment, i.sortorder".
  " $sql_sort";

I have a question which I haven't been able to find an answer for... Maybe someone here knows:

Are students portolios literally linked with assignments, or when you link it to an assignment it makes a copy?

By this I mean: imagine a student includes an assignment in his/her portfolio. Then for administratrion issues the course (with all its assignments) gets erased... Would this also erase the assignment from the student's portfolio? Or does this module actually create copies of assignments included in the portfolios so that they are independent to changes such as assignments or course deletions?

We are thinking of using this in my school to have students have a continuous portfolio from 6th to 10th grade, but courses are erased at the end of each year so I don't know what would happen to their portfolios when courses are erased...

I would like to know if the exabis e-Portfolio-Module block will be available for Moodle 2.0/1.

Does it? I've to now it, because I've to decide me to an e-portfolio system. (exabie solution could be one)

regards, sonia

Hi,

I used the module with my 7th grade students this year. It worked quite well. The students found it easy to use and for the most part we were able to configure it for our needs.

The one issue I have had is editing the student portfolios. There are times when I would want to make some simple edits to their portfolio (mostly titles of entries or minor mechanical errors in their writing). However, when logging in as the students, I am unable to access their portfolios (as the student). There doesn't seem to be any way to do this. Is it possible for me to access their portfolios when I login as them? If not, is there a way to configure that in the module code?

Thanks,

John

Hello Andreas,

Do you have a tutorial for students on how to use ePortfolio? Specifically, I'm looking for something that shows students how to import assignments from Moodle. Thank you.

-Martha Gold

We are using Moodle 1.9.12 and version 3.2.branch (2009121801) of ePortfolio.

Whenever we try to add a View, we get the error:

There was an error adding this post in the database

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to resolve this?  Users are able to add items to their portfolio, but are unable to create views to share them.

I also notice that when we try to select whom to share it with, using "Access only for the following users", it returns No users found

I've been trying to resolve this for a few days now and have hit a dead end.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am testing this block as I would like to use it with Year 7 this year. I cannot currently import a Moodle Assignment. I have put a test assignment file in the assignment and then when I log in as the student I get

"At the moment you have no submission at any assignment!"

I think I am probably missing something very obvious.

All suggestions very welcome.

Hi

I have just recently add e-portfolio to our school moodle site.

Everything seems to be working perfectly except when I try and import assignments from moodle into the portfolio.

Error comes up relating to database

any ideas

thanks
