When I restore a backup courses from ver 1.4 to 1.5 I get the following error:
isteacher() should not be used without a valid course id as argument
But the course seems to restore OK.
Hi Jacob,
that's due to some in progress modification of code in 1.5dev. It should be corrected in some days... I've filled Bug 2427 about it.

Hi Jacob,
We get that message, too, but we are not trying to restore to 1.5. We are just trying to restore to our own version (Moodle 1.4.3 + (2004083134)).
Further, the course does not restore properly. It tells the instructor that he/she is successful, despite the error message you listed, but there are a lot of gaps in what is actually restored. For example, the icons for all the modules in a course are correct, but the text descriptors do not restore. Also, there are two sets of editing icons for each module when the instructor turns editing on in the restored course. Upon clicking either Edit icon, one sees "The required instance of this module doesn't exist".
Is there anything we can do, such as change settings (Moodle, PHP, etc.), so we can restore successfully?

Hi Kevin,
as I said Jacob, such isteacher() error seems to be part of a global change done some months ago. Perhaps you stopped upgrading your Moodle server just in the middle of it?
I think that the correct solution should be to upgrade to 1.4.5+ (a lot of thing have been improved since your 1.4.3+ version) and then try it again.
If your problem remains with the new version you can send me privately a copy of your backup file to examine it in my test servers...
