I asked my Moodle admin to install the Poodll plugin we are using
Moodle2.5.1+ (Build: 20130712) He replied "The poodll plugin for audio requires a higher version of moodle"
But when I looked I thought it was ok. Can you tell me if any of the versions would work for our 2.5.1 version?
This really would be an exciting plugin to offer our users!
Thanks for your time!

HI Ann
PoodLL works for anything from Moodle 2.1 up. ( Though nobody should really be that far back. ) So your Moodle admin might be thinking of something else, or might have misread something.
Please try again.

Hi Justin, My Moodle admin was looking at this site for downloads http://poodll.com/downloads-for-poodll-2-3/
We have Moodle2.5.1+ (Build: 20130712)
I see this on the Moodle.org website https://moodle.org/plugins/browse.php?list=set&id=13 shouldn't this be the place for downloading?
Would you recommend to download all of the Poodll plugins?
Thanks!
Ann
Hi Ann,
Yes, I would recommend downloading and using all of the PoodLL plugins. The only one I think about being optional is the PoodLL Online (assignment_poodllonline) as it is for the old Assignment 2.2 type, which I no longer use.
Your first link you have listed above downloads directly from Justin's site and if you get the Kaboodle, it will include all you need to get going.The second link is also ok, just have to download the different parts, one at a time. The main add-on of the bunch that all the other parts depend on is the filter. Their installation depends on the filter being installed, too.
If your site folder permissions are set right and your site is registered with Moodle, an admin can actually do all the installs right in Moodle 2.5.x, by going to Administration > Site Administration > Plugins > Install add-ons then click on Install add-ons from the Moodle plugins directory.

Hi Ann,
Just like Al said really. If you have a clear idea of where you want to use it, then you could just download the modules you need. Most people probably don't use the 2.2 assignment type anymore or the database activity field(though you can do fun stuff with it) . So if you install piecemeal from Moodle.org, you might leave those off. The one mod you must have is the PoodLL filter. Everything else uses stuff from there. Stuff generally goes up on poodll.com earlier than on Moodle.org. But at the moment everything is up to date everywhere.
Just to confuse things, there is a new mod, PoodLL Anywhere. It adds recording icons to the TinyMCE editor. If you use that you probably don't need the PoodLL repository anymore either. PoodLL Anywhere can be downloaded from the page you referenced, but it is not in the Kaboodle bundle or available from Moodle.org yet.
Hmm, lets summarize this a bit
| PoodLL Add-on | On PoodLL.com | In Kaboodle | On Moodle.org | Notes |
| PoodLL Filter | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| PoodLL Question Type | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| PoodLL Repository | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| PoodLL Assignment Submission | Yes | Yes | Yes | for new Moodle assignment (avail. from Moodle 2.3) |
| PoodLL Assignment Feedback | Yes | Yes | Yes | for new Moodle assignment (avail. from Moodle 2.3) |
| PoodLL Assignment Type | Yes | Yes | Yes | for old Moodle assignment |
| PoodLL Anywhere | Yes | No | No | adds PoodLL icons to TinyMCE HTML area |
| PoodLL Database Activity Field | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Thanks Justin! You are awesome! I am excited and can't wait to have this installed!

Hey Justin,
Thanks for the info about the new PoodLL Anywhere plugin for the TinyMCE Editor. Makes an already great set of plugins even better and more versatile. I was on your site just a day or two before you released it, so only just now found out about it. Thanks to Birmingham City University for getting you to develop it. Works great even on the current development version of Moodle 2.7.

Sure beats clicking through to the repositories all the time ...

I have used Poodll on 2.3 and 2.5 with no problems at all - in fact its currently live on my 2.5 site now (It's an excellent set of plugins!)
I have used Poodll on 2.3; 2.4; 2.5 and 2.6, the best and the most powerful plugs! We love it.
Thanks everyone! I am passing on the information! I appreciate all your help!
