Hi,
Is there a possibility to have a repository outside of moodledata?
I have several moodle LMS on my server (one for each customer).
They all have the same 50+ SCORM packages on them. These packages read their look and feel in a css map so every customer has its on look&feel but a package is identical to that on the systems of the other customers
In order to maintain the SCORM's I put them in File System repositories in moodledata/customer x /Repository.
Like this:
course 1 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 1 | |||
Moodledata Customer1 | Repository 1 | course 2 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 1 | |
course 3 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 1 | |||
course 1 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 2 | |||
Moodledata Customer2 | Repository 2 | course 2 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 2 | |
course 3 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 2 | |||
course 1 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 3 | |||
All MoodleData | Moodledata Customer3 | Repository 3 | course 2 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 3 |
From several | course 3 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 3 | ||
moodle | |||
installations | course 1 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 4 | ||
Moodledata Customer4 | Repository 4 | course 2 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 4 | |
course 3 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 4 | |||
course 1 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 5 | |||
Moodledata Customer5 | Repository 5 | course 2 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 5 | |
course 3 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep 5 |
This means that all these repositories are identical.
However, they take a lot of space and had to be maintained individually.
I would like something like this instead:
Repository General | |||
course 1 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | |||
Moodledata Customer1 | course 2 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | ||
course 3 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | |||
course 1 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | |||
Moodledata Customer2 | course 2 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | ||
course 3 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | |||
course 1 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | |||
All MoodleData | Moodledata Customer3 | course 2 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | |
from several | course 3 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | ||
moodle | |||
installations | course 1 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | ||
Moodledata Customer4 | course 2 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | ||
course 3 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | |||
course 1 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | |||
Moodledata Customer5 | course 2 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen | ||
course 3 alias/shortcut to scorm in Rep Gen |
In this case, the SCORM's are in only one place.
I know it should be possible with the dropbox repository but I noticed that when linking (alias/shortcut) to a SCORM in the Dropbox repo, the package will not update in the LMS as the SCORM in Dropbox is changed (works perfectly in the file system repo MDL-54673). When I was testing this, dropbox changed to the AP2. Knowing that the update of the alias/shortcut was not working properly, I had very low energy to install ssl certificates to my server, in order to reconnect with dropbox. Changing to https would also break all links to the server . Also, a lot of my customers aren't fond of this cloud services and consider them a threat.
I would like a filesystem-like repository that can be outside the customers moodledata, that is shared by all of my Moodle's and where I can alias/shortcut to a scorm package that is in the repo and that will update automagically the filedir's of all my moodle's
Anyone any Idea how to do this?
Thanks for the time for reading this.
kind regards
