Description
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 [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.
- Authentication
To authenticate SME users against moodle configure moodle to use POP3
With regular POP3, port 110, 127.0.0.1 in Moodle and "allow private" in SME server-manager > Email.
Also seems to work with POP3cert port 995 in Moodle and "allow private and public" in SME server manager > Email.
Options
You can fine tune access to moodle with 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
