DataPlus is a Moodle module conceived and developed at The Open University. It enables the production of customisable, portable, standalone SQLite3 databases for teaching and learning.
The module is designed to build upon many of the strengths of the existing Moodle Database module, but with increased performance, improved search and the ability to create a standalone database that can be exported easily and imported into other Moodle / DataPlus instances easily. Version 1.0 of DataPlus is designed to feel familiar to users of the Data module with a familiar interface and much familiar functionality (DataPlus owes a significant debt to the Data module).
Another advantage of creating a standalone database is that its customisation and use do not touch the Moodle database, avoiding any possible performance or security implications of this and providing the potential for greater flexibility in future versions. The easiest way to use the module is with the SQLite3 support in PHP 5.3, however earlier PHP 5 versions can be configured to enable SQLite3.
The module was developed in the Autumn of 2009 and first released to The Open University community for use, with the intention of deprecating the Data module in the local Moodle build, in December 2009. A second version was produced in January 2010, when this site was launched. Further development will be documented here.
The module is available for free use and distribution under GPL.
I was translating the dataplus plugin and I found a strange-looking English string:
2.1 [cleardatadone,dataplus] "All has been data cleared from the database."
which I think might be better understood as "All data has been cleared from the database."
But I am not a native English speaker.
Thanks in advance for your help.
The following English string looks strange:2.1 [listperpage_help,dataplus] "Set the number of records to display in a list template and disable the menu to enable the use to do this."
Perhaps "use" should be "user" ( I think).
Thanks in advance for your help.
2.1 [useroutline_templatesaved,dataplus] "Number of time a template has been updated:"
Perhaps "time" should be "times".
Thanks in advance for your help.
I translated the dataplus plugin for Moodle 2.0 and 2.1 branches into Spanish for Mexico (es_mx). I found it very strange that AMOS (http://lang.moodle.org/) does not have the English language strings for Moodle branches 2.2 , 2.3 and 2.4dev. I wrote David Mudrak about it and I am looking forward to reading his expert diagnosis of the problem and suggested fix.
By the way, is the dataplus plugin compatible with Moodle 2.2 and 2.4 branches ? If it is, it would be great to have it marked accordingly, or if it is not, to have the explanation for it.
Thank you very much for your promp answer.
Debug info: Duplicate entry 'cs-407-Alttag' for key 'mdl_toolcust_lancomstr_uix'
INSERT INTO mdl_tool_customlang (lang,componentid,stringid,original,master,timemodified,outdated,local,timecustomized) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)
For example could I from a non moodle script located on the same server open the sqlite3 and make whatever necessary updates ?
I was thinking about a batch which would generate thumbs periodicaly for Image field.

Can please help?
I have exactly the same error, with the latest version of the plugin, and a the 3.1.1 version of Moodle (nginx)
Unfortunately, it seems development is stalled.
Is there any way to get help on this ?
