Hello.  

Version: Moodle 2.5.

I am creating a module to upload a single file.  I am using the filepicker which is working fine, but instead of the filename being entered into the table, I am seeing the file's number (temporary number?) being added.  

I am simply trying to capture the filename.  I have been following the instructions and using the functions found here in the documentation:

$name = $mform->get_new_filename('userfile');

 http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Using_the_File_API_in_Moodle_forms#Obtain_the_chosen_file

However, the module continues to crash as if the function get_new_filename does not exist.  I have even checked other modules that upload files, but I'm not finding them to follow their example.  

Can you please help?  Thanks in advance.

I applied your code and it worked.  However, teachers are asking if I can sort by date submitted - from newest to oldest.

Moodle versions: 2.2, 2.3

Hello fellow Moodlers:

I wanted to find out if there is a way I can customize the Front Page without hacking it.  I would like to create a custom Front Page, but make it available as an option on the Front Page settings.  

Does anyone have any suggestions?  

Thank you in advance.  

If it's not already too late, here's what I found.  I had to place the JW Player files (js and swf) in a folder outside of the Moodle instance.
