Moodle plugins directory: Virtual programming lab

Hi!

Is it possible to download all student submission attempts as zip for a particular user? Right now(v3.2.5) supports to download all latest submissions for all users.

Hi Tõnis,
the 3.2.5 version has not available this feature. The download of all the student's submissions is already implemented in the 3.3 version.

Best regards.

Hi
I have created the Jail Server but when I try to connect to the server via https I get a warning about the certificate, and then a 404 error. Does this mean that the server is being contacted but that the jail server software itself is not installed correct, or is this not an assumption I can make (that the certificate notification is not evidence of a successful connection to the physical server or URL)?

When I log in to the server via PuTTY and go to the root of the directory structure I can see a directory called jail; is this where it should be residing?

Sorry but not yet getting any OK message and trying to identify why not.

Hello Gildredge,
the certificate message may be due to the use of a selfsigned certificate.
The 404 message may be because you are not using the path /OK.
https://server[:SECURE_PORT]/OK

best regards.

Please, Is it possible to use IDPs as an online translator of Python, C ++?

Hello Oleksandr Szpinkowski,
I have searched about IDP assuming that it is "Intel® Distribution for Python". It seem a tool for accelerate Python on Intel's processors, notice that VPL is a learning tool. Really I dont know if the restrictions of the VPL excution server allow to execute the accelerated Python but you can try.
1) Install the IDP on a "Execution server" following the IDP home site instructions on how to install it on linux.
2) Restart the "Execution server"
3) Go to "Execution files" on a VPL activity and copy the default Python into vpl_run.sh and change it properly to use IDP instead of python3

Best regards.

The VPL module is excellent. I have been using it daily in my programming classes since 2015.

Hello.
I want to use this. But I do not know hoe to set jail server.
I have a synology NAS. Can I use this?
Could someone please tell me how to build a jail server in detail? Or where can I learn?

I think that a NAS is useful to save data, but you can not execute programs on it.

The execution/jail server is build to run in a linux distribution and has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and CentOS 7.
You can follow a tutorial of how to install the execution/jail server at

Hello, Juan Carlos.
I am trying install VPL plugin in my Moodle Platform, but after I drop the zip 3.3.4 version archive in my plugin administration item, the install process, after validating ok, stands indefinitely in a blank page without anything happening for a long time. My route is in my case .../moodle/admin/tool/installaddon/index.php
what is the problem?
Thank you very much for this help.
José Luis Anta.

Dear José Luis,
Please, tell us the details of your system (Moodle, S.O., PHP, etc. version).

The problem that you reported may be related to the environment (limits) of your Moodle platform. I need to replicate your system conditions to try to spot the problem.

Have you installed other plugins on your Moodle platform without problems?

Best regards,
Juan Carlos.

Hello Juan! Thanks for such a great plugin! I was hoping to suggest the addition of User-based exceptions to the due-date. I've looked around and couldn't find a way to do this for a single user and I frequently have students who either miss a class session, need extra time because of disability accommodations, or just need to turn in the lab/assignment late. It would be great to be able to make an exception for these students and reset just their due date to a day or two later. This seems to be a common feature in most Moodle activities and it would be nice for VPL to also include it.
Thanks, Dana
