{{Installing Moodle}}
This page describes how to maintain a copy of Moodle on your production server which can easily be upgraded using Git. If you have customisations of Moodle core code, you are advised to follow the instructions in the [[Development:Quick Git start guide for Moodle development|Quick Git start guide for Moodle development]].

To get the most out of Git it is worth making the effort to understand its basic concepts - see the See also section below. It can be a bit of a learning curve, especially if you are used to CVS or Subversion.

== Getting hold of Git (Windows, OSX, Linux and others) ==

Support for Git was, up until recently, mostly confined to Linux but builds are now available for most popular operating systems:

* List of downloads from Git site - http://git-scm.com/download

Once you have downloaded and installed your OS relevant git installation, the git commands in this document should work with your operating system.

== Obtaining the code from Git ==

The command line version of Git is discussed here. Graphical clients are little more than wrappers around the command line version, so you should be able to deduce the correct parameters quite easily.

You can find the official Moodle git repository at git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git (with an official clone at git://github.com/moodle/moodle.git). To initialize your local checkout, use
<pre>
$ git clone git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git (1)
$ cd moodle
$ git branch -a (2)
$ git branch --track MOODLE_24_STABLE origin/MOODLE_24_STABLE (3)
$ git checkout MOODLE_24_STABLE (4)
</pre>
* The command (1) initializes the new local repository as a clone of the 'upstream' (i.e. the remote server based) moodle.git repository. The upstream repository is called 'origin' by default. It creates a new directory named ''moodle'', where it downloads all the files. This operation can take a while as it is actually getting the entire history of all Moodle versions
* The command (2) lists all available branches.
* Use the command (3) to create a new local branch called MOODLE_24_STABLE and set it to track the remote branch MOODLE_24_STABLE from the upstream repository.
* The command (4) actually switches to the newly created local branch.

Note that Git has a huge number of options for each command and it's actually possible to do the above process with a single command (left as an exercise!!).

==Git from behind a firewall==

Git uses a read-only protocol that may be blocked by your firewall (port 9418). If this is a problem, you can use Github's http version <nowiki>https://github.com/moodle/moodle.git</nowiki>. It's a bit slower, so use the Git protocol if you can.

== Updating your installation ==

The Moodle development team performs integration and testing of fixed bugs every Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday you can install all patches by updating your code. Check the [http://git.moodle.org/gw?p=moodle.git;a=summary shortlog] to see if the official repository has been already updated or not.

To update your code to the latest version (on the MOODLE_24_STABLE branch) '''all''' you have to do is:
<pre>
$ cd /path/to/your/moodle/
$ git pull
</pre>
If this is a production site you should still consider the [[Upgrade]] instructions (e.g. take backups).

== Installing a contributed extension from its Git repository ==

This is one way to handle adding plugins from other Git repositories into your Moodle repository. Another way is to use Git Submodules. However, at the time of writing, this is one of Git's rougher features and should be regarded as an advanced option.

For example, let us say we want to install the [[Book module]] from its Git repository into our Moodle 2.4.
<pre>
$ cd /path/to/your/moodle/
$ cd mod (1)
$ git clone git://github.com/skodak/moodle-mod_book.git book (2)
$ cd book
$ git checkout -b MOODLE_24_STABLE origin/MOODLE_24_STABLE (3)
$ git branch -d master (4)
</pre>
The command (1) changes the current directory into the ''mod'' folder of your local Moodle clone. The command (2) creates a new subdirectory ''book'' and makes a local clone of Petr Škoda's vanilla Book repository. The command (3) creates a new local branch that will track the remote branch with a Book version for Moodle 2.4. The command (4) deletes the ''master'' that was created automatically by git-clone in (2) as we do not want it in this production checkout.

Now it is wise to put the new directory mod/book/ to the list of ignored files of the main Moodle clone, otherwise a status of the main clone will keep reminding you that the new code has not been checked in.
<pre>
$ cd /path/to/your/moodle/
$ echo /mod/book/ >> .git/info/exclude
</pre>
To update your Moodle installation now, you must visit both Git repositories and pull changes from upstream.
<pre>
$ cd /path/to/your/moodle/
$ git pull
$ cd mod/book
$ git pull
</pre>
Writing a shell script with these lines in the root of Moodle installation is a very good idea. Otherwise it is easy to forget what Git repositories are there within the main Moodle repository.

Mobile web services

2011-09-11T00:38:52Z

Stuartrmealor: Fixed typo

Moodle 2.1 comes with a built-in web service designed for mobile applications. It is required to run the official [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Mobile_app Moodle app]. Enable it only if you want people to use the official app or if third party app explicitly requires it.

== Enable the mobile web services ==
Go to ''Administration block > Plugins > Web services > External services.''
Check ''Enable mobile web services'' and ''Save''.

'''That's it! No other steps required.'''

The rest of this document explains "behind the scenes" for any further mobile service customisation.

Enabling the mobile web services will automatically:
* enable the web services system (''Administration block > Advanced features'')
* enable the built-in external service called 'Mobile web services' - you should see this new mobile service listed as enabled.
* enable the xml-rpc protocol
* allow the 'webservice/xmlrpc:use' capability for authenticated user role

It is not possible to edit this mobile service.

== Disable the mobile web services ==
When you uncheck 'Enable mobile web services', it will automatically:
* disable the external service called 'Mobile web services'.
*if 'Mobile web services' was the only external service enabled:
** disable the web services system
** disable the xml-rpc protocol
** disallow the 'webservice/xmlrpc:use' capability for authenticated user role

Manager role

2011-03-17T10:45:11Z

Stuartrmealor: Edited a useful description provided by Tim Hunt in a Moodle.org Forum

{{stub}}{{Moodle 2.0}}

The default manager role, in Moodle 2.0 onwards, enables users assigned the role to access courses and modify them.

The Manager role is a 'real role', ''similar'' to Administrator (but much safer to use).

The way permission checks work in the Moodle code is that there is a function called has_capability. For admins, has_capability will '''always''' return true, no matter how the roles are set up.

However, the Manager role is a normal role, like Course Creator, or Teacher. By default the Manager role has almost every capability but, because it is a normal role, you can edit that role if you choose (there is no way to edit what permissions an Administrator has).
Best-practice might suggest that Admins should normally use a Manager role, and not use an Administrator account.

This is similar to the way you are recommended not to log into Linux as root.

The Manager role therefore allows a site Administrator to give very powerful roles to others who are assigned a Manager role, but without having to give them a full Administrator role.

Custom SQL queries report

2010-04-09T22:07:01Z

Stuartrmealor: /* Monthly Usage by Role */

Created by The Open University

This admin report plugin allows Administrators to set up arbitrary database queries to act as ad-hoc reports. Reports can be of two types: either run on demand, or scheduled to run automatically. Other users with the right capability can go in and see a list of queries that they have access to. Results can be viewed on-screen or downloaded as CSV.

==Installing this report==

Follow the generic [[Installing contributed modules or plugins]] documentation.

==Screen shots==

Here are two example screen shots, showing the two main screens.

[[Image:Custom_report_list.png|thumb|none|600px|The list of available reports]]
[[Image:Custom_report.png|thumb|none|600px|The results of running one of the reports]]

(Note, these screen shots are in the OU theme, not the standard Moodle theme, and iCMA is OU-jargon for quiz.)

==Interface for normal users==

===List of available queries===

Users with the report/customsql:view capability can access the list of reports in the admin block. Each query is accessible only to a certain people. There are three levels of access:
* Available to any one who can access the report at all (those with report/customsql:view).
* Available to people who are able to see other system reports (those with moodle/site:viewreports)
* Available to administrators only (those with moodle/site:config)

When you go to the list, it will only show the queries you have access to. There is a note beside each query saying when it was last run, and how long it took to generate.

The list shows on-demand and scheduled queries separately.

===Running an on-demand query===

To run an on-demand query, click on its name in the list of queries.

The query will be run, and the results will be displayed as a table. Any URLs in the table will automatically be made into hyperlinks.

A description of the query may appear above the table.

The summary of when the query was run and how long it took is shown at the bottom, along with a link to download the CSV file (for example to get the data into Excel) and a link back to the list of all available queries.

===Viewing the results of scheduled queries===

Scheduled queries can work in one of two ways. Either each run of the report generates and entire table of reasults, or each run just creates one line of results, and the report builds up a row at a time.

When you click the name in the list of queries, you get taken to a display of the latest results, just like in the on-demand case.

However, if each scheduled run generates a complete report, then at the bottom of a page there will be a list of all the previous runs of the report, so that you can go and see how the report changed over time.

==Interface for administrators==

Administrators (that is, users with report/customsql:definequeries) see everything that other users see, but with some additions.

===Additional controls in the staff interface===

Administrators get shown who each report in the list is available to.

They also get an edit and a delete icon next to each query.

There is an '''Add new query button''' at the end of the list of queries.

When viewing a particular query, Administrators get an edit and a delete link underneath the table of results.

===Adding or editing a query===

When you click the '''Add new query button''', you get taken to an editing form that lets you define the query.

You must give the query a name.

You can optionally enter a description that is displayed above the results table. You should use this to explain what the results of the query mean.

You must enter the SQL to generate the results you want displayed. This must be an SQL select statement. You must use the prefix prefix_ for table names. It should not be possible to enter any SQL that would alter the contents of the database.

You choose who you want the query to be accessible to.

You choose whether the query should be run on-demand or scheduled weekly or monthly. If the report is scheduled, you can say whether the each run returns one row to be added to a single table, or whether each run generates a separate table.

When you save the new query, the SQL is checked to make sure that it will execute without errors. If you have said that the report will only return a single row, this is also checked.
After saving the query, if this was a manual query, you are taken to the query results page, so you can see what the results look like. If it was an automatic query or if you cancel the form, you are taken to the list of available queries.

Editing an existing query uses the same form as for adding a new query, but to change the properties of an existing query.

Note that at the OU, weeks start on Saturday. If you don't like that, there is a fairly obvious constant to hack at the top of locallib.php.

===Deleting a query===

When you click the delete icon or link for a query, you are taken to a confirmation page that shows you SQL of the query you are about to delete. The query is only deleted if you click Yes on the confirmation page.

After deleting a query, you are taken back to the list of queries.

==Share your interesting queries here==

If you come up with any interesting SQL to custom reports, you can share it here.

===Quiz attempts in the last week/month===

Set this up as a scheduled report:

<code sql>

This '''must''' be set up as a '''Scheduled, on the first day of each week''' or '''Scheduled, on the first day of each month''' report, or it will not work.

===Usage summary===

This report shows roughly the same usage statistics that are sent to moodle.org when you register your site. The ones that are aggregated at http://moodle.org/stats/. (The only difference is that the registration form does not do AND confirmed = 1 for some reason.

<code sql>
SELECT
(SELECT COUNT(id) FROM prefix_course) - 1 AS courses,
(SELECT COUNT(id) FROM prefix_user WHERE deleted = 0 AND confirmed = 1) AS users,
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ra.userid)
FROM prefix_role_capabilities rc
JOIN prefix_role_assignments ra ON ra.roleid = rc.roleid
WHERE rc.capability IN ('moodle/course:upd' || 'ate', 'moodle/site:doanything')) AS teachers,
(SELECT COUNT(id) FROM prefix_role_assignments) AS enrolments,
(SELECT COUNT(id) FROM prefix_forum_posts) AS forum_posts,
(SELECT COUNT(id) FROM prefix_resource) AS resources,
(SELECT COUNT(id) FROM prefix_question) AS questions
</code>

There are two interesting queries in this blog post [http://tjhunt.blogspot.com/2010/03/when-do-students-submit-their-online.html When do students submit their online tests?].

===Monthly Usage by Role===

This report shows a distinct count of users by their role, accessing your site. Each instance of user and role is counted once per month, no matter how many courses they access. We use this to show the total number of students and teachers accessing our site.

<code sql>
SELECT
month(from_unixtime(`prefix_stats_user_monthly`.`timeend`)) AS calendar_month,
year(from_unixtime(`prefix_stats_user_monthly`.`timeend`)) AS calendar_year,
prefix_role.name as user_role,
COUNT(DISTINCT prefix_stats_user_monthly.userid) AS total_users
FROM
prefix_stats_user_monthly
Inner Join prefix_role_assignments ON prefix_stats_user_monthly.userid = prefix_role_assignments.userid
Inner Join prefix_context ON prefix_role_assignments.contextid = prefix_context.id
Inner Join prefix_role ON prefix_role_assignments.roleid = prefix_role.id
WHERE prefix_context.contextlevel = 50
AND `prefix_stats_user_monthly`.`stattype` = 'activity'
AND prefix_stats_user_monthly.courseid <>1
GROUP BY month(from_unixtime(`prefix_stats_user_monthly`.`timeend`)),
year(from_unixtime(`prefix_stats_user_monthly`.`timeend`)),
prefix_stats_user_monthly.stattype,
prefix_role.name
ORDER BY
year(from_unixtime(`prefix_stats_user_monthly`.`timeend`)), month(from_unixtime(`prefix_stats_user_monthly`.`timeend`)),
prefix_role.name
</code>

You must have Statistics turned on to be able to generate any data with this report.

===Show all Quiz results across a site===
I'm sure someone will be able to improve upon this, but this is a query that will show Quiz results across a site. --[[User:Stuart Mealor|Stuart Mealor]] 22:07, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Standard Moodle tags

2009-08-26T08:55:25Z

Stuartrmealor: /* Tags in use */

Tags are useful for connecting different bits of information together.

Obviously it's important to use the same tags everywhere.

This page describes standard Moodle tags that you should use when describing Moodle events on the internet (Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, del.icio.us etc)

==General Moodle stuff==

For general discussion of Moodle, use the tag "moodle".

Twitter example:
I just installed #moodle on a computer I bought ten years ago!

==Moodle Moots==

For Moodle conferences (Moots) use mootCCYY where:
* CC is a country ISO code or state abbreviation, and
* YY is a year.

mootAU09

Capitalisation doesn't matter and just helps readability.

The two letter code would usually be a country, but for somewhere like the US where there are different moots they might choose to use "us" or a state like "sf" or "ok". It really doesn't matter if two moots both used mootus09 for example, because they would be separated in time.

==Tags in use==

* #mooteu09 MoodleMoot Euskadi
* #mootNL09 Amsterdam Moodlemoot
* #mootUS09ok Moodlemoot Oklahoma (or #mootok09)
* #mootUS09SF Moodlemoot San Francisco (or #mootsf09)
* #mootin09 Goshen Midwest MoodleMoot
* #mootus09ny MoodleMoot Delhi (or #mootny09)
* #mootar09 MoodleMoot Argentina
* #mootat09 MoodleMoot Austria
* #mootDE09 Moodlemoot Germany 2009 in Elmshorn 18. September 2009
* #moodle #OE09 Moodle at Online Educa 2009 in Berlin (December)
* #mootDE10b Moodlemoot Germany 2010 in Berlin March

Moodle Course Creator Certificate

2009-02-03T21:07:25Z

Stuartrmealor: /* What is the Moodle Course Creator Certificate? */

==What is the Moodle Course Creator Certificate?==

The Moodle Course Creator Certificate, or MCCC, is a way for you to demonstrate your skills in using Moodle as a teacher.

The assessment contains a ''course project'', a short ''narrative'' document, and an ''online exam''.

You will be assigned an MCCC-certified mentor-assessor to help guide you through this process.

When you pass the certification you are given a code that lets you (or anyone else you give it to) download your personalised certificate as a PDF from the http://certificates.moodle.com site.

The MCCC is '''not''' a training course, it assumes that already know what you need to know and want to be assessed and certified. However, some Moodle Partners provide a training course that when successfully completed equates to the ''course project'' element.

==Who provides the certification?==

The content of the certification is designed by the Moodle community at moodle.org where you can find discussions, documentation and preparation guides.

If you are considering MCCC, please join the area on moodle.org: [http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=48 Certification area on moodle.org]

The certification process is administered world-wide by [[Moodle Partner|Moodle Partners]]. The fee is set locally, so you should check this with your [[Moodle Partner|Moodle Partners]].

In countries with no [[Moodle Partner|Moodle Partners]] you can register with Certification Central Administration - support in English only. (Details are provided at [http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=48 Certification area on moodle.org].

==How can I get a Moodle Course Creator Certificate?==

If you can review the checklist below and honestly say "Yes" to each then you are probably ready to register and start:

* I have created at least one Moodle course previously and used it with learners
* I am familiar with the Moodle Docs area, and can find my way around
* I have read all the documentation in the Moodle Certification area
* I can set aside 5-10 hours a week to work on my MCCC (this may vary depending on your previous experience)
* I want to improve my understanding and use of Moodle!

[[Category:Teacher]]

==What is the Moodle Teacher Certificate?==

The Moodle Teacher Certificate, or MTC, is a way for you to demonstrate your skills in using Moodle as a teacher.

The assessment contains a ''course project'', a short ''narrative'' document, and an ''online exam''.

You will be assigned an MTC-certified mentor-assessor to help guide you through this process.

When you pass the certification you are given a code that lets you (or anyone else you give it to) download your personalised certificate as a PDF from the http://certificates.moodle.com site.

The MTC is a '''not''' a training course, it assumes that already know what you need to know and want to be assessed and certified.

===Who provides the certification?===

The content of the certification is designed by the Moodle community at moodle.org where you can find discussions, documentation and preparation guides.

If you are considering MTC, please join the area on moodle.org: [http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=48 Certification area on moodle.org]

The certification process is administered world-wide by Moodle Partners.
The fee is AU$400 (25% of this goes ''directly'' towards Moodle development).

===How can I get a Moodle Teacher Certificate?===

If you can review the checklist below and honestly say "Yes" to each then you are probably ready to register and start:

* I have created at least one Moodle course previously and used it with learners
* I am familiar with the Moodle Docs area, and can find my way around
* I have read all the documentation in the Moodle Certification area
* I can set aside 5-10 hours a week to work on my MTC (this may vary depending on your previous experience)
* I want to improve my understanding and use of Moodle!
