Hello
I put the grid format on Friday onto my Moodle 2.7.
Already it is telling me there is a new version available, but as fas as I can tell the only one available to download is the same version I put on already. Is this something I've done not quite right or is this the built in version number misbehaving?
Thanks
Heather
Hi Heather,
It might be asking for the M2.8 version.
Please could you screen shot the message and state where you got the M2.7 version from.

Hi
I'm on a Moodle 2.7.

Heather
Thanks.
That's odd as 2.7.1.5 is the latest version: https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversion.php?id=7267 for M2.7.
What version does the plugins overview page state you have?
And, I repeat, state where you downloaded the version you have from?
The version column is blank.
It should not be! So I suspect that it has been installed incorrectly. How did you install the format? Were you directed to 'Site Administration' -> 'Notifications'?
Hi
Yes.
Put the grid folder into the course format folder. went to the admin page, could see it in the list waiting to be installed. Ran through the database upgrade and presto, installed and available to use, but saying instantly that there is another newer version available.
Thanks
Heather
Sounds like something is wrong with the structure of the files / folder. Please could you screen shot the folder and another of its contents.
Looks normal to me, but unless it grabbed me by the throat I'm not sure I could tell it wasn't normal.
Thanks
Heather
Looks fine to me too... but... given 'Plugin files not writable' is the screen shot that of the server? If not, then please use FTP etc. to show the folder on the server. If so, please copy the Readme.md file, delete all of the files and folder, download a zip from: https://moodle.org/plugins/download.php/7267/format_grid_moodle27_2014110501.zip and follow the instructions in the Readme.md file you copied that tell you how to manually install.
There is also the possibility of a new release anyway in the next seven days.
Hi
that was a shot of the server.
The server is not writeable from within Moodle. I don't want things suddenly splattering themselves unexpectedly on the server. Security recommendations and all that.
It was a manual install and I followed the readme.md It isn't a new activity to me, been doing it for years now so it behaved normally as I would have expected. I was just surprised that it instantly said there was a new version.
Regards
Heather
Ok, I'm a little stumped. So, possibly the version.php file is corrupt. Please could you confirm that it has:
Hi
It has exactly that.
Thanks
Heather
In that case I'm stumped! I would now need full admin access to the Moodle installation and server to investigate the file permissions / ACL's / web server set-up to determine what is wrong - but that would be very specific support and would need to be paid for - as I no longer believe that there is anything wrong with the format from my end.
