The Aspire resource list module enables a teacher to include a selection of resources from associated Talis Aspire resource lists directly within the content of their course.

The resource list can be displayed either in a separate, linked page, or embedded in the course page itself (hidden initially, with a link to toggle visibility).

The development of this module was based on previous work by the University of Sussex and Falmouth Exeter Plus (on behalf of Falmouth University).

Please note that this plugin depends on a paid subscription to the Talis Aspire reading lists service.

    Would it be possible to add 'School' as one of the options for the 'Knowledge group' code... he asked, very hopefully smile
    It is a valid node type on the Talis Aspire hierarchy data format if that helps.

    Yes, I can do that. Are there any others missing?

    You’re amazing smile
    The valid nodes are at http://support.talis.com/hc/en-us/articles/205860631-Hierarchy-data-format - but I doubt they all need to be in.

    I've added them all anyway, just in case. If you're a Git user, you can cherry-pick the commit at https://github.com/tonyjbutler/moodle-mod_aspirelist/commit/5d16783db1e85b35741a42213f8d76461d51337a. Otherwise let me know and I'll create a new release.

    Hi there

    I'm currently having problems with plugin version 2.9.5. We have the following settings:

    Aspire URL: http://myreadinglists.kcl.ac.uk
    Aspire URL HTTPS alias: https://kcl.rl.talis.com
    Aspire Code Regex: ^([0-9A-Z]{8})
    Year Code Regex: (2012|2013|2014|2015|2016|2017|2018)[A-Z]

    The rest of the settings remain blank or default.

    Any assistance would be gratefully received,

    Hi Kevin,

    You just need to include delimiters around your regular expressions e.g. /^([0-9A-Z]{8})/ and /(2012|2013|2014|2015|2016|2017|2018)[A-Z]/ should work fine.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
    Tony

    Hi Tony

    Thank you so much. That appears to have resolved the problem.

    Thanks again.

    Hi Tony - we have module codes and school codes, so at present we’re limited to using one or the other in Moodle. Would it be a big job to have the option to add knowledge groups to the custom database table?

    Hi Jon. I've a feeling that would involve a fairly major rework, but I'll look into it and get back to you.

    Ok, thanks. Just to clarify, I’m not suggesting that the current method is changed. What I was thinking was an additional option in the existing knowledge group options for 'custom' and an additional field in the custom database options for mapping into the custom table. If the 'custom’ option was selected, the additional custom field would be used instead of the values in the existing list.
