@rangga try

Your problem is due your proxy server.

WIRIS plugin reads Moodle proxy configuration. Is your proxy parameterized on your moodle site (Site Administration -> Servers -> HTTP) ?

If you are still having problems, please contact us at support@wiris.com

Ok, I have a possible major issue I've found with the wiris filter in Moodle 2.9 I was uninstalling the filter and the text editor plugins when suddenly my screen froze. After some searching, it seems that my entire moodledata folder got erased. In the log I see this...

PHP message: PHP Warning: unlink(/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/root/proc/9247/cwd/proc/9247/cwd/proc/9247/cwd/proc/9247/cwd/proc/9247/cwd/proc/9247/cwd/proc/9247/cwd/proc/9247/cwd/proc/9247/cwd/proc/9247/cwd/proc/9247/cwd/proc/9247/cwd/proc/120/net/dev_snmp6/eth2): Permission denied in /var/www/moodle/filter/wiris/wirispluginwrapper.php on line 100

There are a series of php warning while running phpunit tests with the wiris filter installed.

PHP Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$version in filter/wiris/version.php on line 35
PHP Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$version in filter/wiris/version.php on line 56

Not a big deal, but it would be nice if this was fixed.

We added the issue into our tracker. We'll let you know when the issue is fixed (probably in the next release).

This page should refer clearly that WIRIS is not open source and it is a commercial solution with costs to non schools or shcools with more than 1000 equations. Many moodlers are using this tool without a clue about this. Please update the plugin description.

Dear António,

The Plugin description does already include the following sentence with a link to WIRIS store

Please read conditions and prices in WIRIS store.

Thanks Ramon. However I think it should be stated on the top sentence. I didn't notice it. It is very frustating to install a plugin, inform your users and then have to remove it when you find it is not free like majority of Moodle plugins. Transparency above all. I am sure that the 58k downloads are not shools with less than 1000 Equations and were induced in error like me. 58k * 400 Euros = 23 million Euros annually. This should be taken serious.

@hadi behrouzian,

Do yo have the appropiate permissions on plugin's folders? We get a 403 error on plugin's info page (filter/wiris/info.php) . Please check permissions on filter/wiris/ and lib/editor/atto/plugins/wiris/ folders.

If the problem continues, don't hesitate to contact us at support@wiris.com.

Hi,

I installed the wiris filter and math editor and it worked perfectly. However after updating to 3.0 all the equations that I created using Wiris now shows ........etc. in the question text. I have upgraded the plugins for atto and tinymce, however the icon to open wiris doesn't show up in neither of these editors, although I ensure that wiris was configured to show up in the editor.
What can I do for it to show the icon.

@Ravi Lamontagne

Please note that WIRIS plugin/filter is compatible with Moodle 3.0 since version 3.54.1.
Check at /filter/wiris/info.php if your version number is equal or higher than 3.54.1.

We're having issues where the TinyMCE WIRIS editor doesn't work properly in the second text editor on a page. For example, create a new "Page" resource and add math to both the content and description. If we then edit the page a second time, the math in the content is mangled with the addition of partial images tags. This is with the latest WIRIS and moodle 2.9.4. Downgrading our previous version of wiris editor fixes the problem.

Another problem we've noticed is that copy and paste of equations isn't working in Atto. The pasted equation is recognized only as an image by the editor. This is in Chrome and firefox under Moodle 2.9.4 with the latest WIRIS editor.
