Add a book activity to your Moodle course, add content to the book - either by writing or importing from EPUB ebooks, then use the Lucimoo ebook export tool to export the book as a regular EPUB ebook. This can be handy to give students or teachers an off-line version of a book, which they can enjoy in their favourite ebook reader on their smartphone, tablet or PC, e.g. FBreader for Android or Lucifox for Firefox.

    Haakon contacted me and will be contacting the author of the plugin as well so that we can get the meta-data sorted out. For now, I am going to mark these as needing more work and once the meta-data is provided it can be scheduled for a quick review. Peace - Anthony

    It was actually quite some time since Ordbrand got back to me, and I am sorry to say I have not been able to pursue this till now. Ordbrand wrote (my translation):

    "Most of the messages from the quality service pertain to files in the stylesheet folder, the CSS folder. This contains external code not written by me, and it would be inconvenient to change it just to comply with Moodle's coding standard. Either these need to be removed, but then Lucimoo will not be able to handle CSS, or we let the functionality be as it is. Moodle itself contains several external coding libraries which in a similar manner diviates from the standard, so it is hard to understand why a plugin cannot also do this."

    Hi Haakon, good to hear back from you. I am afraid there's a bit of misunderstanding here. I assume Ordbrand refers to the coding checker warnings.

    • Firstly, these are not the reason for the plugin not being approved yet. These automatically generated checks are supposed to help plugin developers to improve the coding style so it is in line with Moodle coding guidelines.
    • Secondly, 3rd party libraries should be excluded from these checks, of course. And there is a mechanism for that - see https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Plugin_files#thirdpartylibs.xml

    Bug again, both of your ebook plugins were marked as needing more work because of missing meta-data filled here. See the Plugin check results box at the top:

    • Provide bug tracker URL
    • Provide the source control URL
    • Provide an illustrative screenshot

    All these have a help icon associated with them with further details. As Anthony said above, please do not hesitate to let us know if you need more help with setting these things up.

    I think I have managed to fix most issues, and have requested a re-approval.

    Thanks for fixing all the raised issues. While reviewing the code, I spotted one minor details and reported it as a suggestion for further development in your plugin's tracker. You are cleared to land now, welcome to the Plugins directory!

    Lucimoo EPUB import version 0.17 for Moodle 3.1 is now available. زەردەخەنە

    Version 0.17 should work if the server uses PHP 7, while version 0.16 does not work if the server uses PHP 7.

    Version 0.16 should also work with Moodle 3.1 if the server does not use PHP 7.

    Hi, I just installed the Lucimoo ebook export 0.17 for Moodle 3.1 on CentOS 6.8. PHP 5.5.4. I can download my file as ebook, but will not open. Do I need a specific reader for ebook? Which one would you suggest? Thanks

    Hi, Alex!
    Yes, you need an EPUB reader to read ebooks in EPUB format. This is an open standard, supported by a number of ebook apps on different operating systems. You can use the Lucifox addon for Firefox available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lucifox/ , FBReader at https://fbreader.org/ for Android devices, or iBook on iOS devices like iPad.

    You could say the Lucimoo import and export tools turns the Book module into an EPUB reader and writer. زەردەخەنە

    Hi Haakon,
    A quick question for you: when do you plan to have the Lucimoo EPUB on Moodle 3.2? Thank you very much.

    Hi Jesus, sorry I have not been able to keep up. Unfortunately, it is not possible in Moodle to simply drag-and-drop an EPUB file and have it directly imported into the Book module. You need to first add a Book to your course, just like you add any other activity. Then from the administration menu of the Book, you can now import content from an EPUB ebook file, or export the content of the Book to a new EPUB ebook file.

    Hi Alex, I have not bumped the version number for Lucimoo EPUB export to include newer versions of Moodle, but unless you tell me it does not work, then I think you are good to go. However, we released version 1.0 of Lucimoo EPUB import today with support from the Ministry Division of the Archbishops’ Council of the Church of England.
