[[Image:Grade item settings.png|thumb|Grade item settings screen]]

Grade item settings are the various settings that the administrator is able to edit for all [[Gradebook|gradebooks]] used by teachers. These settings will change what items are displayed for each grade. As administrator, you would turn on or off various settings and the teacher would input the actual data.

==Grade display type==

This is the type of grade that is to be shown for each individual grade. Different school districts use different grading systems so this can be changed to suit your district.

* Real - Grade from minimum to maximum range indicating total points received. Default from 0-100 but may be arbitrary.
* Percentage - Grade from 0 - 100% indicating the total points received divided by maximum possible amount times 100.
* [[Grade letters|Letter]]- Grade in the form of a letter representing a range of percentages.

==Overall decimal points==

This is the number of decimal places for each individual grade to be shown. Different school districts use different grading systems so this can be changed to suit your district. Number of decimal places range from 0-5.

Note: Teachers can edit the actual display type for each grading item.

==Advanced grade item options==

This contains a list of various fields that can be toggled on or off to appear on the default grade item screen or hidden. By selecting a field, it is put into the "Advanced" items menu and a field that is not selected will appear on the main grade item menu by default. Note that all of these options will always be available to teachers with a click of the button "Show Advanced".

[[Image:Advanced grade item options.png|frame|center|Top left: Advanced grade item options with some selected. Top right: Default grade item menu screen with non-selected fields. Bottom Right: Advanced grade item menu with green asterisks denoting selected fields. Hidden until clicked "Show Advanced".]]

To highlight more than one field, use ctrl+click and both will be highlighted. To highlight from one field to another, use shift+click the range between two will be highlighted. Shift+ctrl+right click will combine a range of selections to those already highlighted. To de-highlight a field just do the same steps but click on already highlighted fields.

Activity report

2008-02-17T17:46:35Z

Orhssoccerguy: link

To access an activity report:

==Full Activity Report==

# Log in as a teacher or administrator
# Select a course to generate a report on
# Go to the "Administration" box on the left side of the page
# Select "Reports"
# On the new screen, select "Activity report". It will be approximately in the middle of the screen.
# You will have an activity report sorted by topic

[[Image:Activity-report.PNG|Where to click for a full report]]

===Example of Activity Report===
An activity report will show all activity in the course, sorted by topic. Each item will be shown with its type and name.
[[Image:Activity-report-view.PNG|A full activity report]]

==Individual Activity Report==

# Log in as a teacher or administrator
# Select a course to generate a report on
# Go to the "People" box on the left side of the page
# Select "Participants"
# Click the person's name
# Select the "Activity Reports" tab
From here you can select an outline report (which looks similar to an activity report on all students), full report, grade report, or select today's logs or all logs. Again, reports are sorted by topic.
A detailed report on a person will show each item, organized by topic, with what that person has done involving that item. For example, a forum will be listed with how many posts to that forum a person has made.

Backup and restore FAQ

2008-02-17T17:22:55Z

Orhssoccerguy: link

{{FAQ}}
;Site backups
:Site backups, as explained in [[Upgrading_Moodle#Backup_important_data|upgrading Moodle]], are recommended in order to have all data saved with the best confidence and the shortest recovery time.

;Course backups
:Course backups, configured on the [[admin/backup|backup]] page, are more expensive in terms of time and CPU usage. The recovery time to have your site running again is longer. Course backups are useful for obtaining "fresh" copies of courses to be re-used or distributed individually, however they should never be used as a primary backup system (unless your hosting doesn't allow the preferred site backups). In order to make scheduled backups, you have to set up CRON to run periodically. Please refer to the [[Cron|cron instructions]].

==How do I backup my whole Moodle site?==

There are two main things you need to make a copy of - the database and the uploaded files. The Moodle scripts themselves are less important, since you can always download a fresh copy if you have to.

There are many ways to do such backups. Here is an outline of a little script you can run on Unix to backup the database (it works well to have such a script run daily via a cron task):

cd /my/backup/directory
mv moodle-database.sql.gz moodle-database-old.sql.gz
mysqldump -h example.com -u myusername --password=mypassword -C -Q -e --create-options mydatabasename > moodle-database.sql
gzip moodle-database.sql

For the files, you can use rsync regularly to copy only the changed files to another host:

rsync -auvtz --delete -e ssh mysshusername@example.com:/my/server/directory /my/backup/directory/

'''Character Encoding'''

When dumping the entire Moodle database, Administrators should be careful to watch for possible character encoding issues. In some instances, backups created with mysqldump or phpmyadmin may not properly encode all of the data resulting in spurious A characters. One solution is to use mySQL Administrator 1.1 or another tool that will force a UTF-8 dump of the data.

==How do I restore a backup of my whole Moodle site?==

If you have followed the above instructions and created a backup of a Moodle site, you may need to know how to restore the site backup you created. Here is a set of basic steps that make up the restore process.

1. Rename the original moodle directory to something different (so you still have it) and copy the backed up moodle directory or a newly downloaded moodle directory in its place.

2. If you are running mysql, a backup of the database should be a .sql, .gz or .tar.gz file. If it is .tar.gz or .gz you need to extract it until it is an sql file.

tar -xzvf moodlesqlfile.tar.gz

3. If you are running mysql, import the sql file back into a newly created database on the mysql server. Be careful here, some backups try to import right back into the same working database that moodle is connected to. This causes database problems that damage a Moodle installation. The best thing to do is make a new database, restore the backed up database into it, and change the Moodle config.php file to connect to this new database (this way you still have the original database).

once you have created the new database:
mysql -p new_database < moodlesqlfile.sql

==What data is not contained in course backups?==

By selecting all the options when setting up the backup you can include almost all the data in the course. However you should be aware of the fact that some things are not backed up:
* Quiz questions are only backed up if at least one question from their category has been added to a quiz.
* Scales are only backed up if they are used by at least one activity.

==The process ends with: "Error: An error occurred deleting old backup data". What should I do?==

This part of the backup (or restore) procedure tries to delete old info, used in previous executions, performing the following tasks:

* Delete old records from "backup_ids" table: Check the table exists, repair it and try again.

* Delete old records from "backup_files" table: Check the table exists, repair it and try again.

* Delete old files from "moodledata/temp/backup": Delete the dir completely and try again.

There are various ways of repairing tables, including using MySQL Admin.

==The process ends with: "XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line YYYY". What can I do?==

This problem can appear at any point in the restore process. It's caused when the XML parser detects something incorrect in the backup file that prevent correct operation. Usually, it's caused by some "illegal" characters added in the original course due to some copy/paste of text containing them (control characters, or invalid sequences...).

The best method to handle this issue is:

* Unzip the problematic backup file under one empty folder.

* Open the moodle.xml with Firefox. It will show you where (exact char) the problem is happening.

* Edit the moodle.xml file with some UTF8-compatible editor and delete such characters. Save changes.

* Test the moodle.xml file again with Firefox until no error was displayed.

* Zip everything again (all the folder contents but not the folder itself!).

* Restore the course. It should work now.

* Restore still not working? See the next question.

Also, if possible, it's highly recommended to solve those problems in the original course too from Moodle itself. Once "repaired" there, problems will be out if you create new backup files in the future.

==I Still get an XML error. How can I clean the borked XML file?==

In some cases XML backup files may contain characters causing the restore process to abort, even after the steps described in the previous question. In such cases you may want to try the following:

* Download the [http://repository.atlassian.com/atlassian-xml-cleaner/jars/atlassian-xml-cleaner-0.1.jar Atlassian XML Cleaner Utility] from the [http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Removing+invalid+characters+from+XML+backups JIRA Atlassian site].

* Unzip the problematic Moodle backup file under one empty folder. Moodle will create the course file folders as long as the unclean moodle.xml file. Please unzip using the Moodle unzip feature.

* Rename the unclean moodle.xml file to moodle-unclean.xml.

* If you don't have access to your Moodle server's command prompt, using the Moodle zip feature, zip the moodle-unclean.xml file only, download the zip file locally and unzip it. It is very important to download the xml file in zipped format to avoid unwanted character encoding when transferring from an operating system to another.

* Move the downloaded Atlassian XML Cleaner Utility in the same folder where is your moodle-unclean.xml file.

* Issue the following command from the command prompt:

java -jar atlassian-xml-cleaner-0.1.jar moodle-unclean.xml > moodle.xml

* If you launched the utility on your local computer, zip the just created (and hopefully cleaned) moodle.xml file and upload it in the same place from where you downloaded the moodle-unclean.xml file. Once uploaded, unzip it using the Moodle unzip feature.

* Zip everything again (all the folder contents but the folder itself!).

* Restore the course. It should work now.

==What does "Some of your courses weren't saved!!" mean?==

There are three possible causes of this problem:
# Error - this happens when the backup procedure has found an error and so hasn't finished the backup of a particular course. These are "controlled" errors and the scheduled backup continues with the next course.
# Unfinished - this happens when the backup procedure dies without knowing why. When the cron is next executed it detects that the last execution went wrong, and continues skipping the problematic course. A possible solution would be to raise the PHP/Apache limit in your installation (memory, time of execution...). By taking a look to your log tables you should be able to see if the "crash" is happening at exact time intervals (usually a problem with the max_execution_time php's variable), or if there is some exact point were all the courses are breaking (generally internal zip libraries, try to switch to external executables instead).
# Skipped - this happens when a course is unavailable to students and has not been changed in the last month (31 days). This isn't an error situation - it's a feature, especially useful for sites with many unavailable old courses, saving process time.

==How can I restore pre 1.6 non-ISO-8859-1 backups to Moodle 1.6 (Unicode)?==

{{Moodle 1.6}}Any backup files with contents which are not 100% ISO-8859-1 will be a problem to restore to Moodle 1.6 (and upwards) running under Unicode. Instead, please try the following:

# Make a clean install of Moodle 1.5.x (the latest version available)
# Restore all your courses there (they should work if they were working originally)
# Upgrade your site to Moodle 1.6 and run the UTF-8 migration script
# Backup your courses again

This will produce a new set of backup files that will be 100% UTF-8 and you will be able to use them with Moodle 1.6 without any problems.

==Why are some courses being skipped?==

{{Moodle 1.6}}From 1.6 onwards, course backups automatically skip courses which are unavailable to students AND have not been changed in the last month.

Override permissions

2008-02-17T17:17:08Z

Orhssoccerguy: Corrected Link

{{Roles}}
[[Image:Override permissions.png|thumb|left|Override permissions in Moodle 1.9]]
Overrides are specific permissions designed to override a role in a specific context, allowing you to "tweak" your permissions as required. Overriding does not create a new role. It modifies an existing role and affects all users assigned to that role in the context

For example, users with the Student role can normally start new discussions in forums. Suppose there is a particular forum in which you want to restrict this capability. Within the forum, set an override that PREVENTS the capability for Students to "Start new discussions."

If you want to prevent only a few selected students from starting discussions in the forum, you cannot do it by overriding the Student role, since doing so would affect all Students. You need a new role. Unfortunately, you (as a teacher) cannot create one. Only the administrator can create new roles. The best solution is to ask the administrator to create a copy of the Student role. Then, within the forum, override the copied role as described in the paragraph above. Finally, assign the selected students to this role within the forum.

Overrides can also be used to "open up" areas of your site and courses to give users extra permissions where it makes sense. For example, you may want to experiment giving Students the ability to grade some assignments.

The interface for overriding permissions is similar to the one for defining roles, except sometimes only relevant capabilities are shown, and you will also see some capabilities highlighted to show you what the permission for that role would be WITHOUT any override active (i.e. when your override is set to NOT SET).

Note: Prior to Moodle 1.9, the override permissions page was named "Override roles".

==Enabling teachers to override permissions==

By default, only administrators are able to override permissions. You can enable teachers to do so as follows:
#Access ''Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles''
#Edit the teacher role and change the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/role:override|moodle/role:override]] to allow
#Click the button "Save changes"
#Click the tab "Allow role overrides" (in ''Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles'')
#Check the appropriate box to allow a teacher to override the student role
#Click the button "Save changes"

If preferred, a new role for overriding permissions may be created and selected teachers assigned to it.

{{Roles}}

Overrides are specific permissions designed to override a role in a specific context, allowing you to "tweak" your permissions as required. Overriding does not create a new role. It modifies an existing role and affects all users assigned to that role in the context.

[[Image:Override permissions.png|center|frame|Override permissions in Moodle 1.9]]

For example, users with the Student role can normally start new discussions in forums. Suppose there is a particular forum in which you want to restrict this capability. Within the forum, set an override that PREVENTS the capability for Students to "Start new discussions."

If you want to prevent only a few selected students from starting discussions in the forum, you cannot do it by overriding the Student role, since doing so would affect all Students. You need a new role. Unfortunately, you (as a teacher) cannot create one. Only the administrator can create new roles. The best solution is to ask the administrator to create a copy of the Student role. Then, within the forum, override the copied role as described in the paragraph above. Finally, assign the selected students to this role within the forum.

Overrides can also be used to "open up" areas of your site and courses to give users extra permissions where it makes sense. For example, you may want to experiment giving Students the ability to grade some assignments.

The interface for overriding permissions is similar to the one for defining roles, except sometimes only relevant capabilities are shown, and you will also see some capabilities highlighted to show you what the permission for that role would be WITHOUT any override active (i.e. when your override is set to NOT SET).

Note: Prior to Moodle 1.9, the override permissions page was named "Override roles".

==Enabling teachers to override permissions==

By default, only administrators are able to override permissions. You can enable teachers to do so as follows:
#Access ''Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles''
#Edit the teacher role and change the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/role:override|moodle/role:override]] to allow

[[Image:Overridepermissions.jpg|center|frame|[[Capabilities/moodle/role:override|moodle/role:override]] to allow]]

3. Click the button "Save changes"
4. Click the tab "Allow role overrides" (in ''Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles'')

[[Image:Overridepermissions2.jpg|center|frame|Allow role overrides]]

5. Check the appropriate box to allow a teacher to override the student role
6. Click the button "Save changes"

If preferred, a new role for overriding permissions may be created and selected teachers assigned to it.

Location: ''Administration > Language > Language editing''

[[Image:Edit-strings.gif|thumb|Language editing in Moodle 1.6]]The language editing interface enables you to easily change any word or phrase used on the site. For example, you may want to change the word "Course" to "Area".

== Edit words or phrases ==
[[Image:Editing-language-moodle-19.gif|thumb|Edit words or phrases in Moodle 1.9]]
From Moodle 1.6 onwards, text may be changed by editing language strings, either via ''Administration > Language > Language editing'' or directly i.e. in ''moodledata/lang/''.

To edit a word or phrase:
#Access ''Administration > Language > Language editing''.
#Click the "Edit words or phrases" link in the middle of the page.
#On the edit words or phases page click the "Switch lang directory" button and a local language folder, ''parentlanguage_local'', will automatically be created in ''moodledata/lang''. Files of edited strings will then be saved in this folder. This is necessary to prevent changes that you make to be overwritten by a newer language pack when updating.
#Choose a file to edit. You may need to search through a few files before finding the file containing the word you wish to change. The file ''moodle.php'' contains all common site-wide phrases.
#Change the word or phrase.
#Click the "Save changes" button. The changed phrase will be highlighted in a different color.

If you wish to make further changes later, be sure to check that files of edited strings will again be saved to the folder ''parentlanguage_local'', switching folder if necessary.

Note: From Moodle 1.9 onwards, the option to switch is no longer provided and edited strings are automatically saved in the local language folder.

==Changes in 1.9==
[[Image:screenshot-admin-lang-19.png|thumb|Language pack maintaining in Moodle 1.9]]
{{Moodle 1.9}}* From Moodle 1.9 onwards, only users with the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/site:langeditmaster|moodle/site:langeditmaster]] may modify the master language packages (i.e. those being saved in ''moodledata/lang/''). By default, the admin role has this capability set to prevent. It is expected that only language maintainers will manually allow this for themselves. Language pack maintainers have an aditional "Language pack maintaining" tab.
* From Moodle 1.9 onwards, only users with the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/site:langeditlocal|moodle/site:langeditlocal]] may customize the site translation (i.e. files being saved in ''moodledata/lang_local/''). Admins are allowed to do this by default.
* Added ability to edit language files in non-standard locations, i.e. string files for various types of plugin (e.g. blocks, database presets, 3rd party modules etc.)
* Features coming soon: The ability to edit help files in non-standard locations and translate local modifications of help files.

The language editing interface enables you to easily change any word or phrase used on the site. For example, you may want to change the word "Course" to "Area".

== Edit words or phrases ==

=== Moodle 1.5 ===

Text in Moodle 1.5 may be changed by editing the language strings, either via ''Administration > Configuration > Language'' or directly e.g. in ''lang/en''.

To ensure that any changes are not overwritten by a new version when upgrading, you need to create your own local language pack as follows:

* Copy the contents of your language folder (e.g. ''lang/en'') into a new folder (e.g. ''lang/en_local'') - you will need access to the server to achieve this step, it cannot be done from within Moodle.
* Make your local language pack the default for the site via ''Administration > Configuration > Variables.

=== Moodle 1.6 ===

[[Image:Grade item settings.png|thumb|Grade item settings screen]]

Grade item settings are the various settings that the administrator is able to edit for all [[Gradebook|gradebooks]] used by teachers. These settings will change what items are displayed for each grade. As administrator, you would turn on or off various settings and the teacher would input the actual data.

==Grade display type==

This is the type of grade that is to be shown for each individual grade. Different school districts use different grading systems so this can be changed to suit your district.

* Real - Grade from minimum to maximum range indicating total points received. Default from 0-100 but may be arbitrary.
* Percentage - Grade from 0 - 100% indicating the total points received divided by maximum possible amount times 100.
* [[Grade letters|Letter]]- Grade in the form of a letter representing a range of percentages.

==Overall decimal points==

This is the number of decimal places for each individual grade to be shown. Different school districts use different grading systems so this can be changed to suit your district. Number of decimal places range from 0-5.

Note: Teachers can edit the actual display type for each grading item.

==Advanced grade item options==

This contains a list of various fields that can be toggled on or off to appear on the default grade item screen or hidden. By selecting a field, it is put into the "Advanced" items menu and a field that is not selected will appear on the main grade item menu by default. Note that all of these options will always be available to teachers with a click of the button "Show Advanced".

[[Image:Advanced grade item options.png|frame|center|Top left: Advanced grade item options with some selected. Top right: Default grade item menu screen with non-selected fields. Bottom Right: Advanced grade item menu with green asterisks denoting selected fields. Hidden until clicked "Show Advanced".]]

To highlight more than one field, use ctrl+click and both will be highlighted. To highlight from one field to another, use shift+click the range between two will be highlighted. Shift+ctrl+right click will combine a range of selections to those already highlighted. To de-highlight a field just do the same steps but click on already highlighted fields.
