I accidently changed the version file to a number like this 5555555555555555
because I remember having a problems while trying to update....a while back.
However, I would like to reset it to the number it was at...which is much lower than this number but it said you can't downgrade this number.
I am wondering how I fix this problem because I would like to update the plugin since there is a new version out.
This is possible, but quite tricky to do.
You might think you would just need to change the row in mdl_config_plugins where plugin = 'mod_certificate' and name = 'version'. However, that does not work due to caching.
I think the way to do this that works is to make a script called temp.php that does
require_once('config.php');
set_config('version', 1234567890, 'mod_certificate');
You will need to find out what the right version number to use there is.
Okay where does this file need to go exactly?
What do I write for the beginning part and ending part?
Sorry, I missed out the necessary opening part:
<?php
require_once('config.php');
set_config('version', 1234567890, 'mod_certificate');That would need to go in a file temp.php in the top level folder next to config.php.
Then, go to .../url/of/your/moodle/temp.php, and it should reset the installed version number.
Then delete that file.
I don't even see a config,php file.
Hmmm!!!
Oh you mean top level of moodle...not the certificate.
Do I need something on the ending of that code?
Okay now I have another question for you....I am using 2.7 moodle. I want to update to the latest moodle.
I have had some custom work done on the certificate. Can I just copy the contains of the certificate over to the latest certificate and will it work okay and update?
The best way to manage customisations is to use a version control tool like git to manage the source code.
This is not the place to dicuss the details of that. I suggest you post again in the General Developer Forum.
Now I am trying to upgrade moodle from 2.7 to 3.0.
I just realized I have changed another version file but this time for block_activities_modules
How do I fix this? Same way?
Here is the error:
Cannot downgrade block_activity_modules from 2014111000000 to 22014111000.
