Hi Séverin

My likings don't count provided that the Moodle Docs are happy. Happy docs will make the help-seekers happy, happy help-seekers will make the helpers happy.

Coming back to your original question, what you are looking for is a list of broken links in the english documentation which points to french documentation. Well, why to french docs only? This is a general question which is valid for all other languages too. Yes, there is also the reverse, given a docs wiki of one language finding out the broken links to a given second language.

The general answer is IMHO is a script which takes four parameters as input: version of the source wiki (sXY), language of the source wiki (slang), version of the target wiki (tXY) and the language of the target wiki (tlang) - /dev/ being a special case, because it has "no language". Possibly a scripting project for somebody along the lines of this "[Firefox] Add-on: Compare MoodleDocs" https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=210082 ?

Hi David

I have no idea to whom you are talking to, since https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=226773 is a thread which I created almost two years ago, I'll take a shot.

What is this _this_? If you meant https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-39203, it is closed now. I hope you could reconstruct your head from the mess that explosion created.
;-P

Sorry. By definition, somebody who maintains a web service on an Internet server is an "IT technician".

> Can you give a level-appropriate how-to for us, who get the "error/Error while requesting an oauth token" error?

In general, the same error messsage can pop up due to different reasons. Think of an error message as a symptom, not the cause. The process of diagnosing is called "debugging" amoung IT technicians. On moodle it manifests to https://docs.moodle.org/en/Debugging.

Edit. Noticed the explosion spreading: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=329782. (Read "Forums code of conduct" https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=329782 > "Post your question in one forum only".)

Hi Rick

"Empirical"? That is a different story!

What I wanted to say to you is that the kind of Unix file permissions we are talking about is pretty simple. I spend 10 Min explaining it to out students and give them some exercises. That's it.

Find a tutorial which you like, and spend some time. Here's an example:http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml. It is an investment which you won't regret.

Hi Ian

You decided:
> that the benefits of a Linux server were far outweighed by the time it was taking to achieve results.

Yes, yes. You noted too:
> that MS recommend not using the hotfix and waiting until it is incorporated in a routine update.

big grin

P.S. I know this is an old thread and Ian has left in Oct 2011, still SCNR.
