Moodle Plugins Directory: MooTyper

Hello,

Thank you very much for this module. It is fabulous. I have been testing it on Moodle 2.2 and 2.3. Installing on 2.3 gave me an error message saying the timetaken and checktime fields had an invalid length in the xmldb file. I changed those values from 32 to 10, and it installed and works in 2.3.

Hm... I haven't test it on Moodle 2.3

I'm thinking which length makes the most sense for this two fields (they both represent unix timestamp). I hope 11 will be enough. Anyway this needs to be resolved... I'll have to install 2.3. and try out. I may also start a forum thread about this, to see what the experts think about this.

Thanks for your comment ... this is our first feedback.

We would also like to install this on 2.3.Is the updated file or version available? Still getting the error mentioned by Rob.

Try this 1.2 version. I didn't test it on moodle 2.3, but I fixed those db fields... please let me know if there's any problems...

Version 1.2 installed in Moodle 2.3 with no problems. However, the lessons listed in the drop down menu are now in Slovenian. They had been in English before.

Oh, sory... I guess now I have to make 1.3
There's no way to change already uploaded files...

Jaka, I am looking forward to starting to use this next week in Moodle 2.3. Just installed 1.3 and tested it. It seems to be working fine. Just one minor item...the last two entries (defaultlayout and showkeyboard) in the en lang file, are in Slovenian.

Here's 1.4

Hi Jaka,

I have upgraded to 1.4. Thank you for the fix. I noticed today an error that comes up if a user clicks on "Mootypers" in the activities block. Please see below for the specifics (debugging on).

Strict Standards: Creating default object from empty value in /srv/www/htdocs/mod/mootyper/index.php on line 61
MooTypers

Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: PHP catchable fatal error

More information about this error

Also, it would be helpful if you started a discussion thread for Mootyper in the contributed modules forum. That way we can get new posts regarding Mootyper by email. Thank you again for this great module.

1. Please note that I never implemented the upgrade process...so for now the best way would be to remove the plugin and install it again (unfortunetly this way you lose all your data - MooTyper instances, grades, etc). I'm was planing to implement this part but I'm stuck... Moodle documentation only points me here: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Data_manipulation_API ... nothing to help me there

2. About this error: I think I forgot this $table = new html_table(); line before the table setup in the index.php file. I'll add a new version soon...but not today - I was in the forest these three days cuting wood ... soooo tired... :|

3. I opened a forum topic so from now on we'll discuss there, i guess ...

4. I see you guys are from US so please correct me if I make / made any major grammar mistake...

Thank you again Jaka. I will keep an eye on your grammar. I have not seen anything so far. If I do, I will report it to the forum.

Off topic - I notice you are in Slovenia. I am in the Los Angeles area. I am a big fan of the Slovenian hockey player, Anze Kopitar. It was great to see photos of him on Lake Bled with the Stanley Cup.

Yep...Kopitar's the man...
