Moodle for SME 7.x

Maintainer

Dungog.net (Software)

Description

http://www.moodle.org

Moodle is a course management system (CMS) A free, Open Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help educators create effective online learning communities.

Installation

Install from the dungog repo, or download moodle and smeserver-moodle from any [smedev mirror]

The following command will configure the Dungog repository on SME Server. The dungog repository will no longer be updated. All the contribs from this repository have been moved to the smecontribs repository.

DungogMember contribs are still at http://www.dungog.net After adding it to the database we have to update the changes to the configuration file:

signal-event yum-modify

To install

yum enablerepo=dungog install moodle smeserver-moodle

For uninstall

yum remove moodle smeserver-moodle

For both you can ignore the yum-comments signal event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot.

Setup

To setup moodle start your browser with the URL http://servername/moodle and complete the forms.


Important.png Note:
Apply any changes to the domain property before setting up moodle. eg moodle.yourserver.org


Options

You can fine tune access to moodle with DB settings.

http://wiki.contribs.org/Generic_WebApp_rpm#New_DB_settings

Local Settings

The config file is now templated, so changes need to be made in a new fragment

ll /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/moodle/html/config.php

If you think your setting should be the default raise a bug

Bugs

Please raise bugs under the SME-Contribs section in bugzilla and select the smeserver-moodle component or use this link .
