core_course_get_contents not returning all information

Hi, this is my first experience in using Moodle default web service.

I'm already successfully consuming some of the methods (REST format) to get information about learner, its enrollments and course contents. However, whean calling core_course_get_contents, according to the documentation, I would expect more information about each object contained in the modules array. For example:

modules   //list of module
  list of ( 
    object {
      id int   //activity id
      url string  Optional //activity url
      name string   //activity module name
      instance int  Optional //instance id
      description string  Optional //activity description
      visible int  Optional //is the module visible
      modicon string   //activity icon url
      modname string   //activity module type
      modplural string   //activity module plural name
      availability string  Optional //module availability settings
In my case, I need to get the availability information of a SCORM 1.2 Lesson (module). I have set the availability (both start and end) in module settings in Moodle, but that information is not returned by the WS. I only get id, indent, instance, modicon, modname, modplural, name, url, visible

This happens with Moodle 2.7.7.

Thanks!

...in addition I also to get module contents (SCORM zip file) URL to dowload, but no contents are returned. This happens also in Moodle 2.8 and 2.9RC1.

Please note that within Moodle Web interface, in module Edit page I can download the original SCORM zip file.

Hi,

as far as I know this Web Service is just for getting generic/standard/common information about a module (all the moodle modules has some fields that are mandatory), you are not going to be able to find specific information for a module (like the link to the SCORM zip package).

We are developing Web Services specific for getting modules information (like mod_data_get_databases_by_courses and mod_forum_get_forums_by_courses)

Regarding availability information, "Modules availability" should be enabled at site and the course level and the user you are using for requesting the information via web services should have permissions (teacher or admin) to see the module settings


Cheers, Juan
