Hi, it seems that according to http://download.moodle.org/windows/, the "Moodle packages for Windows" is still using xampplite 1.7.1. Would it be a good idea to upgrade this package to use the latest xampplite, which I think should be version 1.7.4? Should I create a moodle track ticket for this? Thanks...

It seems that by upgrading to 1.7.4, it might have better compatibility and support for Moodle 2.0.x...

Dear fellow Moodler, first sorry about double posting this question in the "lesson" module forum as well, as I thought that this topic would fit better with "lesson" forum, but I didn't get any reply there so I thought that I would try my luck in this forum.

In Moodle 1.9.x or the new Moodle 2.0.x, is there a way to easily implement "online comic books", which is similar to something like this:

http://www.milehighcomics.com/firstlook/marvel/amazspid516/page02.html

So basically we would like to upload a lot of JPEG or GIF images, and "link" them together with a simple navigation UI like "Previous" "Next" buttons, and maybe a pull-down menu (TOC) so that users could quickly jump to a particular page.  We also want to track each student's viewing records as much as possible.  We don't want students to "download" something (e.g. PowerPoint .pps file) first and then open it up offline (as we will then lost track of their offline activities). We want them to be able to directly open it up and read it (comics with JPEG images) "inside" Moodle with some simple navigation, and be able to "track" their activities.

I have read about the "Lesson module" documentation (http://docs.moodle.org/en/Lesson), but it doesn't seem to really fit with our needs. I haven't tried the "Workshop module" yet..

Thoughts, comments, suggestions, or ideas? Thank you so much for helping!!

Dear all, just a quick question.

Dear all, I tried to search on docs.moodle.org and other places, but couldn't find the answer. In mdl_modules table, there are these columns:

I think I could figure out most of them, but how do "cron" and "search" work? It seems that the "lastcron" would record when the cron job was last run with UNIX timestamp, but how about "cron" and "search"? If it is 300 (for chat), does it mean that it would run every 300 ms? Also, does the "search" just serve as a flag? Many thanks!

Dear all, as title, just wondering if I reset the the password from the database table level from a encrypted string to blank, such as:

UPDATE mdl_user SET password = '' where username = 'student';

What would be the new real password (for login purpose) then??

Thanks!
