0) Requirements

Gismo is primarily developed on the LAMP platform (Linux, Apache, MySQL and
PHP), we didn't test it in Windows environments.

The requirements for Gismo are:
- PHP v. 5.4.4
- MySQL 5.5.31
- Moodle 2.7.x

1) Setup

a) REMOVE OLD VERSION

Please remove any old version of the plugin.

b) INSTALL FILES

Please follow the standard procedure to install Moodle plugins:
- copy the gismo folder into the moodle blocks directory (MOODLE_DOCUMENT_ROOT/blocks)
- logon to moodle as administrator and visit the Notifications page
- configure the new settings page

With git:
git clone https://steveorulez@bitbucket.org/steveorulez/block_gismo.git gismo

c) LAUNCH DATA EXPORTER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Gismo needs to perform some computation on regular basis. The purpose of this
computation is to extract data from logs and derive aggregated information.

This computation is done by a scheduled task, by default it runs at 2am (server time)
but can be changed in Site Administration -> Server -> Scheduled tasks -> GIMSO data exporter task

When you install Gismo block and you don't want to wait
the next day to see the result, you can lunch this script manually (ONLY FROM CLI):

php blocks/gismo/lib/gismo/server_side/export_data.php?password=yourpassword

If you want to run behat acceptance tests please comment this line: define('CLI_SCRIPT', true);
in the file lib/gismo/server/side/export_data.php

2) Configuration

Gismo doesn't need any specific configuration. Everything runs out of the box.

3) Use

Please access your course as teacher and add a Gismo block instance, then follows instructions.
