What is wrong, is this bug?
---------------------
It is already fixed, i download with cvs and it is ok now
Upgraded for 1.6 -1.8 and i think i have the same problem as above. When i click on edit (anywhere at any role even admin) everything to the right, no place to add resources or activities. It looks like it pushes everything right to infinity. Using firefox 2, tried other browsers. We checked the specs on 1.8 and our server has what is required. What are missing here.
Getting the same problem here...
We are using Moodle 1.8+, Solaris 10, Apache 2, MySQL 5, PHP 5.2.
After upgrading from 1.7+ to 1.8:
When anyone (teacher, admin) tries to use the Turn Editing On button, half of the blocks and all but the first excercise dissappear!
Upgraded 1.8 to 1.8+ today (5 mins ago):
Same problem.
I haven't updated to the new CVS, but continue to upgrade with the daily builds. Luckily this is just on a test server, but I thought I would post with my experience anyway.
Good Luck!

I have exactly the same problem. Upgraded from 1.7 to the latest stable (daily) release of moodle 1.8 today. Version Moodle 1.8 + (2007021502).
Have no idea what's causing the problem and other than here, I can't find any mention of the it or even how to fix it.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
OK, so I've done some more digging and other than the initial comment about the CVS I still can't find anything about this problem.
So I've followed instructions to download the CVS package it and distribute it to my server. Having finished the update I still have the same problem as before.
To ensure minimal disruption on my part I carried out a fresh install of the moodle folder structure and simply copied across my config file.
Still nothing, so if someone could shed any light on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Right, I found the problem, well with my installation anyway.
After working through the various installations from a clean install to another upgrade, I found that the problem was linked the modules currently installed in my 1.7 installation prior to upgrade.
I had two modules that weren't transfered over when I upgraded from 1.6. Once I deleted both of them from within moodle, the edit now works.
Hope this can be of help to anyone else who is still having problems.
I have the same issue with one of my installations after upgrading to 1.8
I found that some of the modules/blocks installed for 1.7 were the cause of some problems. I deleted the certificate module from the 1.8 admin, but I had already manually copied the side_bar and feedback modules from the 1.7 directory.
Moodle didn't complain and they appear in the admin, but I still have the problem of only the first item showing up when I turn editing on.
Any suggestions?

In reviewing my 1.8 installation, it appears that the only affected page is the main page. When I click "Edit This Page" from the front page of the installation, only the first item/block on the page is present and everything else is gone.
It isn't even possible to turn editing off as the header doesn't contain the proper link. I'm a very good coder, but not that familiar with the Moodle architecture, so I wanted to check here while I poked around.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

May this message find you in health and happiness.
After patiently trying to work through this issue, I finally found a reference in the admin under Activities to deleted modules. Once those were removed everything looks just fine.
My suggestion would be to add something to the release notes and/or installation instructions about how to migrate Moodle enhancements.

Jerry and everyone here...
I have been testing the upgrade process from version 1.54 to 1.65 and finally to 1.8 now for two weeks making sure of the entire process before the move our production server. Each time I made the upgrade from 1.65 to 1.8 I encountered the same issues as described above. After some investigation, playing around, and pulling a lot of hair out of my head, I can finally say that the the old modules that I had plugged in were the culprit! After going into the Activities area, seeing the incompatible modules, deleting them, and finalizing the upgrade process, I was able to get my test server fully working.
If you are having troubles like what has been described, then check for incompatible activity modules and then delete them! The process works. I agree completely with Jerry that this process should be described in detail in the installation instructions or release notes!

Yep. That would explain my problems too. I was only upgrading from 1.8 to 1.8+ and everything you report happened to me.
May be the upgrade process needs to be made more robust? e.g. if there are any unknown/missing blocks/modules/quiz questions etc detected, you should get a report at the end of the installation.

Thanks for your post!!!
I have done the same digging (ie time and stress) as you all, and your solution worked perfectly. This just happened to me upgrading from 1.8 to 1.9.
**Maybe this needs to be part of the install instructions somewhere, so we don't have to reinvent the wheel each time.
for 1.9:
1) http://YOURSERVER/moodle/admin
2) Modules
*Activities
3) Look for the ones without icons (mine were squares with a dot in the middle).
4) Delete
Thanks all,

AB,
This is the latest of many posts I have seen in this forum talking about turning debugging on or off, setting it to ALL or DEVELOPER, etc. I tried to explain to another Moodler what this means in http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=71909#p322502, to save time because the one who originally mentioned it hadn't replied yet; in preparation for that, I tried to find ANY mention of the word debug (including debugging, debugger, etc.) in the Moodle docs, using the search box on a docs page. There was none whatsoever either explaining what it means to set debugging on, off, etc., or how to do so. The closest thing I found to a mention is http://docs.moodle.org/en/Release_Notes, which talks about a security feature implemented in version 1.6: "Default error reporting level was lowered to 5, E_WARNINGs are no longer displayed on production sites with debug off.", whatever that means.
EDIT: So I had to rely on earlier posts in this forum to try to ascertain what was meant, as you can tell from my post linked to above. (END EDIT) Please see that post for three guesses at what might be meant by turning debugging on, off, etc. in Moodle. Are any of them even close to what you meant, at least???

P.S. Please don't suggest I update the docs. As you can tell, I am no where near knowledgeable enough to do that.
Richard - Actually I took your message as a suggestion for me to update the docs (which I am not that proficient at) but I figure something is better than nothing. Check out
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Debugging
and let me know if that is helpful or if you have any further questions. Peace.

AB,
Thx for the info, and for filling a gap in the documentation that desperately needed filling. Actually, I was not suggesting you update the docs, although I wasn't precluding that either. I just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't the one to do that because, in a previous thread in which I pointed out a problem with an existing doc page, someone suggested that I edit it (http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=71693#p321960).
RLE
Not a problem - I was surprised there was not more which was a good reminder to me that we all need to do what we can on documentation. I know that each of us does what we can to support Moodle. Thanks for being part of the community and calling attention to the lack of documentation. Peace.
Could it something else causing the problem? I now have only standard moodle modules and I still can't edit a course. I started with 3 non standard modules, but have since deleted them from the database and reinstalled Moodle 1.8.1.
Another problem I have is that when I am logged in as admin, and I look at a course and then click on the main Moodle bread crumb, the page is completely blank and have no other options but to log out and log in again.
Thanks,
Tamara
