Does anybody know if NanoGong ver4 (especially the student assignment function) work in moodle 1.99+

We were using Moodle 1.95 and Nanogong v3.2 and everything was working fine. When we upgraded to 1.99+ and to Nanogong 4, we lost the Nanogong Assignment part (the Nanogong outside the Assignment area still works).

I have the same problem. Except for captions, it works correctly in 1.9.8 but NOT in 1.9.9. I can't get captions to work in either version.

I have played with it in 1.9.9 the last hour or so...any recording made as the teacher or administrator with the small separate recording window fails to work.

When logged in as a student, any recording made on the web browser page works correctly.

I have discovered what was causing my problem and it might help you. Because I was installing this on seven different installations of Moodle, I inadvertently missed enabling the Nanogong filter on my production 1.9.9 site.

Administration > Modules > Filters > Manage Filters

Make sure the "eye" is open for Nanogong.

I still can't figure out how to get the caption to work reliably. Sometimes it will let me make an entry but most of the time it will not.

Hi,

I think you mean the NanoGong activity, rite? In what particular way it has a problem?

Hi,

Yes, I mean the NanoGong activity. I thought there were two different places where NanoGong showed up, but now only the one circled shows up (I think the other one had square brackets around it and was in or near the indented area where my arrow is pointing. I used this activity nearly 40 times, but I can't remember exactly now. Am I right? Was there a 2nd NanoGong choice in the "Add an Activity" menu? Was it only in NanoGong 3.2 and not ver. 4?

Hi,

I think you are referring to an assignment type that used NanoGong. We didn't make and maintain that one. Therefore it is likely that you have not installed the assignment type in your new Moodle.

Thank you so much for clearing that up for me. That helped a lot and I'm now sure that that's exactly what the problem was.

Another question now:
I'd like to use the NanoGong HTMLArea in Moodle versions 1.99+
Is that available? I noticed the website listed only versions: 1.7.4, 1.7.7, 1.8.4, 1.8.11, 1.9.2, 1.9.4, 1.9.6 and 1.9.7

Sorry, it is not available for 1.99+. Nevertheless if you want to use the NanoGong HTMLArea in Moodle 1.99+ you can follow the steps as indicated in our FAQ:

http://gong.ust.hk/nanogong/doc_faq.html#latest_version_question

To answer your question in another of your reply: yes, it is just 1 line to modify for weblib.php. It is because it is the only place we have changed for that particular file. However you should note that we also have other files included in the NanoGong HTMLArea package. Those files will have to be copied to the Moodle directory as well.

NanoGong 4 does not work in our 1.9.9 test installation. Version 3 works flawlessly though.

Paul, when you say that NanoGong 4 does not work in your 1.9.9 test installation. Are you talking about just the extended HTML toolbar part of NanoGong?

Also what version of 3 did you use? 3.0; 3.1; 3.2; or 3.3 (which allowed for backup and restore I believe)

This might also be a question for Gibson Lam:
What about tweaking the weblib.php file as described here:
http://gong.ust.hk/nanogong/doc_faq.html#latest_version_question

Should that allow the extended HTML toolbar to work for version 1.9.9+? It seems like such a simple change. Could it be that easy?

Hi Paul,

In which aspect does it fail? We haven't tested it out on a 1.9.9 with our NanoGong 4. However it works for all the versions we have tested on up to 1.9.7:

Nanogong 4 disappeared for me also when I upgraded to Moodle 1.9.9+. The problem is that the recording icons simply do not appear in the forums. I've tried using FF on both Windows and Linux.

UPDATE: Silly me. I had to reinstall the HTMLAREA package. I used the version for 1.9.7 and it appears to work fine out of the box. No editing of the weblib.php file needed in my case.

Hello,

I'm using Moodle 1.9.10. The HTML area for Nanogong is causing the following error when I try to mannually add a user:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function print_password_policy() in .../moodle/user/editadvanced_form.php on line 40

When I use the backup version, no error. Using the Nanogong Html area patch leads to the error. I can't fix this myself. Can anyone suggest a way to fix this. I have become rather fond of using the voice recording feature in my forums.


Thanks
