Hi all,
I made some finger practicing and the outcome was return userdir module. It's based on Teemu's returnfolder.
Are there any interested testers? It'll need some polishing fist, but It could be out by weekend...

Hi Janne,
I have a test site and love to test blocks and modules. I'm looking for a good way for users to upload an assignment to be checked by the course facilitator on a weekly basis but with no time limitations like the assignment module--so basically an open return folder. Feedback on the assignments could be given via the dialogue module.
What is the return userdir module?
Hi Chardelle
It this but made to module.
I call it Return/user folder or directory module because I have some other plans for it, so eventually it isn't just a returnfolder.
If you have Moodle version 1.5 dev then you could try It and give your opinion about it. It's not ready yet but it should work in test usage.
I'm actually having problems with restoring, hopefully I'll learn how Eloy's backup/restore libraries work.

Hi Janne,
I was waiting for 1.5 to become a little more stable before uploading it, but when I do I'll test your user directory module. I had tested Teemu's returnfolder, but that was a long time ago and I think it has changed some since then.
And Teemu,
What's your Form module? Sounds like something I've been thinking about for awhile--I want to test that too!
Cool guys!
I just made form tool of my own and when I told that to Martin, he said that have I thought about Data Module. So I am just guessing what Data Module would be like. Form module is ready for testers today. Form tool writes everything to database and reads everything from database. All the form tools I have seen use text file.

Well I've installed it in version 1.4+ and it's working a ok
so your installation doesn't need to be 1.5 dev.
Teemu
Open lib.php and write this replace move_uploaded_file part with (line 263):
if (!(move_uploaded_file($upload->tmp_name, $newfile))) {
// Try to copy file
if(!(copy($upload->tmp_name, $newfile))) {
error($struploadproblem);
}
}
So basically you'll try to use copy function if move_uploaded_file fails. Why it fails? Are there any error messages on screen or error_log?

Hi Janne
I was checking out the return folder at: http://edu.jaiko.fi/dev
I uploaded a html file and deleted it again and then the upload function disapeared. I logged in as teacher again but no upload function
What happened?

The module looks great Janne. The one thing I was thinking was to be able to add feedback (comments) to an uploaded file and it sounds like your plans will take care of everything.
The only thing I can think of is that instead of having the Show All option to be clicked for each file, have the option be in setting up the module. So you could make the entire folder either a private one (student can only see their files) or an "open" folder (everyone can see all of the files), or by group.
Those changes didn't help. Still the same Error message:

I DON'T BELIVE THIS!!! I can't debug it because file uploading doesn't work.
Thanks Teemu and Janne.
I've installed the returnfolder module in the production site after having seen it working in the mediamaisteri web. No doubt, it will work properly. I'll tell you if any problem.
Instead of "returnfolder toward one teacher" it could become a "sharefolder" that could be shared with :
And yes! it will be useful for the teacher to upload files also.

Instead of "returnfolder toward one teacher" it could become a "sharefolder" that could be shared with :
- One teacher (as now) for grading, comments, ... or, just for storage and so, be able to include images in journals, forums, wikis, dialogues, ...
- the group he/she belongs to, to help in collaborative works, i.e. extending it to be group aware.
- the whole course participants.
And yes! it will be useful for the teacher to upload files also.
Small update: Backing up and Restoring should work now and It also should be PostgreSQL compliant.
Nothing more at this time.

Hi Janne,
Ok, is this for 1.5?
Just installed userdir_new on test site and get error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '{' or '$' in /..../test/mod/userdir/view.php on line 128
Also, you might put the lang file into a lang folder just to make it more clear where it should go.
Chardelle
Ups! Just an careless programming there 
I've included fixed version for you.
Basically yes, although it needs some enhancemets for the latest version 1.5dev.

I fixed it for 1.5.1 two or three days ago 
. Just for the use of :
One addition
,
that maybe someone will not like: When added to course 1 (site main
page) it doesn´t allow to select "to which administrator is sent" (it
is hiddenly sent to main admin). So it becomes a nearly "private personal folder" in moodle 
May be other differences around. I don't remember ... (Spanish es_es lang, ...)
Also this last version hasn't been in production. May have some bugs , so take care and test it first. And tell me about them.

This is a really fast check up, but it seem to worked pretty fine on my test server. So here it is.
