Skype
Skype (IPA: [skaɪp], rhymes with type) is a software program created by the Swedish and Danish entrepreneurs Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis. Skype allows users to make telephone calls over the internet to other Skype users free of charge, or to landlines and cell phones for a fee. Additional features include instant messaging, file transfer, short message service, video conferencing and its ability to circumvent firewalls.
With this module, you can make Video calls, send files, chat, send sms, and use skype cast with your collegues!
Starting with v3.8.0/1 the code includes GDRP compliance and is compatible with the new tables and fields required by Moodle 3.11.X and higher. Also includes a lot of rewritten and updated code. See the upgrade.txt file for additional details.
V3.7.0 version fixed the missing, With Selected (through check boxes): and it's buttons at the bottom of the Skype users list.
Starting with v3.6.0 the code includes groups, Open and Close calendar times, and Next chat time.
thx
Is there any documentation in order to know how to use it?
Thank you,
I do have a question regarding permissions. The only settings I can see regarding permissions is the "Manage Entries" and "View"
Right know I have tested with a student account and a teacher account and both of them can start skype conversations from this module
Is there a way for only Teachers to start a conversation from this module?
Thanks again
When setting up a Skype activity, we can set the date and time of the skype call that is going to happen.
Is there a way to automatically show that in the calendar?
After I add skype to a course, when I click the skype activity link on the course page, I get a page with the message:
"Nobody is enrolled for this Skype type"
Any idea why? cheers
To answer your first question re: Coding error detected...open the Skype view.php file. Down around line 76, remove or comment out the following line: $PAGE->set_button(update_module_button($cm->id, $course->id, get_string('modulename', 'skype')));
Your second question re: Nobody is enrolled for this Skype type...if memory serves me correctly this means, no one rnrolled in the course has listed their Skype id in their profile.
after fixing this error "Down around line 76, remove or comment out the following line: $PAGE->set_button(update_module_button($cm->id, $course->id, get_string('modulename', 'skype')));"
I have problems with account students ... the same interface of the teacher appears ... they have the possibility to create conferences, chats etc ..
how can i disable edit page?
