DOOR 1.8.0 integration on MOODLE 1.9.2+ for dummies... LIKE ME
ABSTRACT
How to move on the "This module cannot be added to this course yet! (No file found at: ../mod/door/mod.html)" message
DISCLAIMER
MOODLE & DOOR integrates easily.
No matter how easy, I need to do things step by step with lots of pictures to understand it and make it work ;p
Thanks to Mauro Nidola for giving me clear instructions on how to work it out!
SETTING
I have my courses on MOODLE 1.9.2+
I have my learning objects on a standalone
version of DOOR 1.8.0
I need to get these guys talking to each other.
0] DOWNLOAD THE MOODLE PLUGIN
I downloaded the moodle_plugin_1.8.0.zip
1] INSTALL THE PLUGIN*
a) I have installed it the old way, copying each file in the specific folder:
| Copy from the "moodle_plugin" folder you unzipped on your local pc: |
Paste on the following YOUR_MOODLE |
| "door" folder you find in: moodle_plugin/mod/resources/type/ |
into: |
| "door" folder you find in: moodle_plugin/mod/ |
into: |
| "export_door" folder you find in: moodle_plugin/blocks/ |
into: |
| "door" folder you find in: moodle_plugin/lang/en/help/ |
into: |
| "door.html" file you find in: moodle_plugin/lang/en/help/resource/type/ |
into: |
| "door.php" file you find in: moodle_plugin/lang/en/ |
into: |
| "block_export_door.php" file you find in: moodle_plugin/lang/en/ |
into: |
| * these steps are to install the english plugin only | |
b) I logged into my MOODLE as admin and clicked on "notifications" to install the plugin.
2] SET UP THE PLUGIN
a) I clicked on Site Administration > Modules > Activities > Manage activities
b] I made the DOOR activity invisible and clicked on its Settings
c] I entered a repository name, my DOOR standalone installation url, the authentication method and saved changes
3] USE THE PLUGIN
a) I clicked on the "Turn editing on" button in my MOODLE course
b) I opened the add resources menu and clicked on "resourcetypedoor"
I can now add resources from my previous standalone DOOR installation
Hope it helps other people in the same situation,
ciao
