Moodle in English: Mobile App Help

Mobile App Help

by Robert Tamblyn - Thursday, October 27, 2011, 7:53 PM

Really hoping to get some help on the mobile app connection issue. I've attempted to follow instructions in other posts with no luck.

Problem: Says will not connect need Moodle 2.1 (note, I have 2.1+)

Steps I have taken:

Settings > Site administration > Advanced features > Enable Web services is ON

Note: XML-RPC protocol eye is open under manage protocols - other protocols are closed.

Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Web services > External services check Enable mobile web services and then click Save

This is where the problem may be: Nothing is showing up here. There is nothing listed under External service. I can click Add but I'm not sure if I need to add anything here.

Many thanks!

Thank you for your reply.

No, it does not list anything under external service.

I have ensured that under advanced settings that enable mobile service is ticked.

When I go to plugins -> web service -> External service as your image shows, nothing is listed.

Many thanks.

Hi Robert,

Did you go to demo.Moodle.net and see if your site gives the same views? Enable mobile web services in MoodleDocs (which I researching) gives the same steps. You do not need to go to advanced settings first. When you go to the External service and check the box and save the page, it will turn it on in Advanced Settings.

In > External services you should see a check box for Moodle and something under it for Built in Services (with moodle plugin) and Custom services (blank but with the add link). I am seeing this in demo.moodle.net . If you are not, then perhaps you do not have the permissions to see it or your moodle code needs to be updated, or reinstalled.

Hope this helps. Now if I can borrow my daughters phone to see how this really works Chris
