The IMS content package repository enables access to a repository of IMS and SCORM packages within Moodle. The repository is disabled by default. It may be enabled as follows:
[[Category:IMS content package]]


# Find repository_config.php in ''moodle/mod/resource/type/ims'' and change <code>$CFG->repositoryactivate = false;</code> to <code>$CFG->repositoryactivate = true</code>
[[de:IMS Content]]
# Create a folder named ''ims_repository'' in the webroot or somewhere underneath your webroot.
# Change <code>$CFG->repository = "C:/public/www/html/ims_repository";</code> to point to this folder on your file system
# If your ims_repository is not located directly in your webroot, edit <code>$CFG->repositorywebroot = "/ims_repository";</code> to point to the location of your repository.
 
Content packages should be extracted to the folder ''ims_repository''.
