<hr />
<div>{{Badges}}<br />
==How can teachers award site badges?==<br />
<br />
By default, teachers can only award course badges. Only users with capabilities to manage badges in the system are able to do this, so if you wish teachers to award site badges you need to create a new role as follows:<br />
<br />
# Go to ''Administration > Site administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles'' and click 'Add a new role'<br />
# Leave 'Use role or archetype' as No role' and click the continue button<br />
# Give the role a name e.g. "Site badge awarder"<br />
# Tick the '''System''' box to allow the role to be assigned in the System context<br />
# Set the following capabilities to "allow": moodle/badges:awardbadge, moodle/badges:viewbadges, moodle/badges:configurecriteria<br />
# Click the button 'Create this role".<br />
# Assign the "Site badge awarder" role as a system role to the teachers you wish to award site badges.<br />
<br />
Teachers with the role of "Site badge awarder" will see a link in the Administration block ''Site administration > Badges > Manage badges''.<br />
<br />
==Can more than one teacher in a course award the same badge?==<br />
''(copied from MDL-39189'') It's not the user who issues the badge, but a role. Users with multiple roles will have an option to use both of them to issue badges. If the badge is awarded twice by different roles, both roles are displayed and criteria (ALL/ANY) is given. In some cases it will be required for a badge to be awarded by several different roles. When there are, let's say, three teachers in the course and they go to award a badge as a teacher, each of them will see the list of users who already got the badge from a teacher, so they won't need to award the badge again.<br />
==What's the difference between a backpack and a collection?==<br />
When you upload a badge to the [http://backpack.openbadges.org/ Openbadges site] you are adding it to your backpack, which is the general area you put your badges in (like a backpack!. You then organise them into collections (like separate little bags in your backpack) and you choose which to display on your Moodle profile. So a badge may be in your backpack and not in a collection, but it must be in your backpack before it can be in a collection (note the 'public' box must be ticked too). Collections allow you to control which badges you share with people.<br />
{|<br />

|[[File:collections.png|thumb|Drag badges into a new collection to display on Moodle]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==What size is a badge?==<br />
<br />
A badge is displayed with dimensions 100 X 100 pixels. However, a larger image may be uploaded, which will then be cropped to be a square, and then resized.<br />
<br />
See also [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=230591 Badge image size] discussion.<br />
<br />
==Can I award a badge based on a specific grade?==<br />
<br />
There are two ways of awarding a badge based on a specific grade.<br />
<br />
Method 1:<br />
<br />
Set a passing grade for the quiz in the gradebook, as explained in section 1.3 of [[Activity completion settings]].<br />
<br />
Method 2:<br />
<br />
# Create a page resource and set the restrict access conditions so that it only appears if the user obtains a certain activity grade or course total<br />
# Set the activity completion for the page as "view"<br />
# Set the badge criteria such that the page has to be completed (i.e. viewed)<br />
<br />
==Do I have to use my Moodle email for my backpack?==<br />
No, but you have to log in via your Persona account to authenticate via your backpack, in order to ensure you are only displaying badges belonging to you.<br />
<br />
==Which roles can see which badges?==<br />
See this forum post on [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=234155&parent=1017187#p1017363 viewing badges]<br />
<br />
==Can I change a badge image once awarded?==<br />
The short answer is 'no', but see this forum post on [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=228553 changing badge images] for more information.<br />
<br />
==Can I revoke a badge once it has been awarded?==<br />
<br />
Yes - see the section on revoking a badge in [[Using badges]].<br />
<br />
==How can I get badges with participants' profiles like on Moodle.org?==<br />
[[File:profilebadges.png|thumb|500px|center]]<br />
<br />
These are not badges. These are group avatars/pictures. When you create a group in your course - see the documentation on [[Groups]] - you can add a picture to represent that group. In places such as forums this picture is then displayed for each participant. If they are a member of several groups then several pictures will be displayed.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Glossary}}Glossary entries can be exported and then imported into another glossary via an XML file.<br />
<br />
==Importing glossary entries==<br />
<br />
*As an editing teacher, access your glossary<br />
*Go to ''Administration > Glossary administration > Import entries''<br />
<br />
[[File:glossaryimport29.png]]<br />
<br />
*Click the "Choose a file" button and browse for the exported entries XML file on your computer<br />
*Select the destination for the new entries: either the current glossary or a new one<br />
*If you want to import category information, click the checkbox.<br />
*Click the "Submit" button. <br />
<br />
[[File:xmlimportscreen.png]]<br />
<br />
You'll then see a report of the entries and categories added to the glossary. If you enabled duplicate entries when you created the glossary, the import process will add all of the new definitions. Otherwise, it will not allow you to import any duplicate entries.<br />
<br />
You will be listed as author of all the entries.<br />
<br />
If your exported glossary included embedded images and/or attached files, these will also be imported into the new glossary.<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting ==<br />
<br />
Possible causes of problems importing entries:<br />
* If there are mistakes in the XML file such as the <entries> tag being missing or the <info> tag being in the wrong place. May happen if you have constructed the XML file manually or with some sort of tool like mailmerge in Word and your template is wrong.<br />
* If there are top bit set characters in the text of the entities like concepts, definitions or keywords. Replace things like & with &amp;amp;<br />
* If there are tabs or spaces between entries. Not sure if spaces cause problems but best to remove any between the end of one tag and start of the next. e.g. Search and replace > < with >< via a text editor.<br />
* In most cases the import is halted if any of these errors occur.<br />
* Duplicates in the entries which clash with entries already when merging a glossary is usually not a problem.<br />
* Warnings like <code>Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /moodle/lib/uploadlib.php on line 603</code> may not be the problem when importing but may distract one from dealing with problems with the format of the XML file.<br />
* HTML and XHTML tags written within CONCEPT or DEFINITION elements will fail on import, showing "Array" instead of the desired content. To remedy this, try writing the (X)HTML tags within <![CDATA[ ]]> markup.<br />
* If the glossary entries contain images, image paths will need amending by doing a search and replace in the XML file in order for the images to be displayed when the file is imported.<br />
<br />
==Restoring a glossary activity backup==<br />
<br />
An alternative method of importing glossary entries is to restore a glossary [[Activity backup|activity backup]] containing enrolled users. This method includes categories, images and attachments within glossary entries. When the glossary is restored, the authors of the entries will be the same as in the original glossary. <br />

[[fr:Importer/exporter un glossaire]]</div>Jonbhttps://docs.moodle.org/33/en/index.php?title=Publish_as_LTI_tool&diff=124677Publish as LTI tool2016-08-05T06:08:39Z<p>Jonb: Added instructions for adding activity to the LTI consumer site</p>
<hr />
<div>{{Enrolment}}{{New features}}The 'Publish as LTI tool' enrolment plugin, together with the LTI authentication plugin, allows remote users on a different site (known as an LTI consumer) to access selected courses and activities. In other words, Moodle functions as an LTI tool provider. Grades are sent back to the remote system. See the screencast [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMQiKjXdm3A Publish as LTI tool] for a demonstration.<br />
<br />
==Enabling 'Publish as LTI tool' at site level==<br />
<br />
An administrator can enable the 'Publish as LTI tool' for use across the site:<br />
<br />
# Go to ''Site administration > Plugins > Authentication > Manage authentication'' and enable LTI<br />
# Go to ''Site administration > Plugins > Enrolments > Manage enrol plugins'' and enable 'Publish as LTI tool'<br />
<br />
It is recommended that the site administration setting 'Allow frame embedding' is enabled so that tools are displayed within a frame rather than in a new window.<br />
<br />
==Sharing access to a course or activity==<br />
<br />
# Go to the course and in ''Course administration > Users > Enrolment methods'' add 'Publish as LTI tool' as an enrolment method<br />
# In 'Tool to be published' select the course or activity to be shared<br />
# Click the 'Add method' button<br />
# Go to ''Course administration > Published as LTI tools'' and make note of the URL and secret for the LTI consumer site.<br />
# You will also need to give the LTI consumer site a consumer key - this can be anything you want.<br />
<br />
The LTI consumer can be another Moodle site or any other LTI-consumer-compliant LMS, such as Sakai.<br />
<br />
==On the LTI consumer site (See MDL-53977)==<br />
<br />
# Visit a course.<br />
# Add a LTI activity and use the URL and secret from the LTI provider site and enter any consumer key you want.<br />
# Log in as a student.<br />
# Visit the course and click on the LTI activity.<br />
# Check the activity displays as expected.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Forum}}<br />
<br />
==How can I easily see which posts I have read and not read?==<br />
#Go to the user menu top right and select 'Preferences'.<br />
#Click 'Forum preferences' and for 'Forum tracking' select: ''Yes; highlight new posts for me''<br />
#Unread posts will now display on your [[Dashboard]] and in a forum itself you will be see which posts are read and unread.<br />
<br />
[[File:forumtracking2.png]]<br />
<br />
==Why are students unable to post in the forum?==<br />
<br />
The most likely reason is that the forum is a [[News forum]] i.e. a special forum for general announcements which is automatically created for each course, and which by default only teachers and administrators can post in.<br />
<br />
To create a standard forum in which students can post, turn editing on for the course, click the 'Add an activity or resource' link and then choose Forum.<br />
<br />
Students may also be unable to post to a forum where a [[Forum_settings#Common_module_settings|Group Mode]] other than 'No Groups' has been used but the student is not a member of any group in the course. They will see the message "Adding discussions to this forum requires group membership". In this case, either add the student to a [[Groups|group]] or change the [[Forum_settings#Common_module_settings|Group Mode]] to 'No Groups'.<br />
<br />
==How do I enable students to rate forum posts?==<br />
<br />
In ''Administration > Forum administration > Permissions'' click the + symbol opposite the capability to rate posts and allow the role of student.<br />
<br />
===How can I have a 'Like' button for my forum discussions?===<br />
<br />
*From ''Course administration>Grades>Scales'' add a new scale with just one item. This could be 'Like' or it could be 'Useful' for example.<br />
*Enable ratings in your forum and if you want students to 'like' the posts, in ''Administration > Forum administration > Permissions'' click the + symbol opposite the capability to rate posts and allow the role of student.<br />
<br />
[[File:forumlike.png|thumb|center|500px]]<br />
<br />
==Why can I not get ratings to work on my forums?==<br />
Assuming you have followed the instructions above correctly and still cannot see ratings, then check you have json support enabled on your server. You can see this in ''Settings>Site administration>Server>PHP info.''<br />
<br />
[[File:Json.png]]<br />
<br />

<br />
==How can I create a teacher-only forum?==<br />
<br />
A teacher/tutor-only forum may be added to a course by creating a hidden forum. Teachers are able to view hidden course activities whereas students cannot.<br />
<br />
==My users can't add attachments to my forum, either with drag and drop or with the file picker.==<br />
<br />
Check that in the forum settings that you have changed the maximum number of attachments allowed to a number greater than 0 ;)<br />
<br />
==How can I remove the news forum from a course?==<br />
<br />
#Delete the news forum from the course homepage.<br />
#In ''Administration > Course administration > Edit settings'' set "News items to show" to 0.<br />
#Delete the Latest news block.<br />
<br />
==How can I remove test messages from a new forum?==<br />
There are several options ([https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=95470#p421687 Here is a nice graphic]). Remember you can <br />
*Move the discussion/thread to another forum<br />
*Edit the post with your moderator powers<br />
*Delete the post with your moderator powers<br />
*Split the thread at a particular post and move it to another thread <br />
*Split>move>delete your test messages.<br />
<br />
==How can I set a display period for news forum announcements?==<br />
<br />
Timed posts are disabled by default, but the feature can be enabled by checking the ''forum_enabletimedposts'' checkbox in ''Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Forum''. Timed posts can then be created by users with the [[Capabilities/mod/forum:viewhiddentimedposts|capability to view hidden timed posts]] (normally managers and teachers). '''New in 3.0''': the display period includes a time as well as date.<br />
<br />
==Why are email copies of forum posts not being sent?==<br />
<br />
The most likely reason is that the cron is not set up. Please refer to the [[Cron|cron instructions]].<br />
<br />
Tips:<br />
* Try the default settings in ''Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Message outputs > Email''. This generally works.<br />
*Make sure that 'Allow user to select character set' in ''Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Message outputs > Email'' is set to No.<br />
<br />
==How do I enable guests to post in a forum?==<br />
<br />
It's not possible to enable guests to post in a forum, though there is a workaround. Please see [[Forum poster role]] for details.<br />
<br />
==How can I close/archive a forum?==<br />
*You might want to do this if, for example, you want to put an end to a student discussion topic but still want them to be able to see posts which had been made without being able to reply any more.<br />
<br />
*In ''Administration > Forum administration > Permissions'' click the Prevent icon (X) for the student role for the capabilites 'Start new discussions' and 'Reply to posts'.<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:forum-permissions-page1.gif|thumb|The screen and relevant capabilities. (Click to enlarge]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
'''NOTE:''' If you are a teacher in a course, you should be able to do this by default, but if you don't see these options, ask your admin to do the following:<br />
#Go to ''Administration > Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles''<br />
#Edit the teacher role and change the capability moodle/role:safeoverride to allow<br />
#Click the button "Save changes"<br />
#Click the tab "Allow role overrides" (in ''Settings > Site administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles'')<br />
#Check the appropriate box(s) in the teacher row to set which role(s) they can override. Most likely it will just be the student role, so check the box where the teacher row intersects with the student column<br />
#Click the button "Save changes"<br />
<br />
To make a single thread read only, you need a forum which has already been closed/archived. Move the the thread to this read-only forum.<br />
<br />
==How can I quarantine a forum post?==<br />
If a student makes an inappropriate post, rather than deleting it, you can "quarantine" it by sending it to a hidden forum and then alerting your superior and the child's guardians. To do this you first need to create a forum "Hidden forum for Offensive Posts" (for example) and hide it with its eye.<br />
**Find the offensive post and click 'split' (between 'edit' and 'delete') <br />
**This will take you to a second page where you will be asked to verify the split. Confirm it by pressing the 'split' button near the top of the page. <br />
**The post(s) will now be split. You should see the post/discussion individually on a separate page. In the right-hand corner will be a dropdown bar and a button that says 'move.' <br />
**Choose 'Hidden Forum for Offensive Posts' in the dropdown and click 'move.' <br />
<br />
Make sure you inform the child why their post has been quarantined, as well as your superior and the child's guardians.<br />

<br />
==Can I set up forum moderation or an approval process before a post appears?==<br />
Not in core Moodle. <br />
*Check out the tracker item https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-35378<br />
*And https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB/component/10440<br />
*And https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-2260<br />
*If anyone discovers a plugin to allow this, please post details<br />
<br />
==Can I subscribe to just one discussion in a forum?==<br />
<br />
Yes. Please see [[Forum settings]]<br />
<br />
==How can I receive forum emails in digest form?==<br />
<br />
A daily digest of either complete forum posts or with subjects only can be enabled in ''Settings > My profile settings > Edit profile''.<br />
<br />
==How can I allow students to add new questions in a Q & A forum type?==<br />
<br />
Only teachers and managers by default see the "add a new question" button. If you wish students to be able to add new questions, they need to be given the capability [[Capabilities/mod/forum:addquestion|mod/forum:addquestion]]<br />
<br />
==How can I make sure my students are notified of forum posts?==<br />
<br />
For students to be notified of forum posts, they need to be ''subscribed'' to the forum. A teacher can choose to force subscription on a particular forum either initially (auto subscription) or permanently (forced subscription) using the subscription mode setting. See the section on subscription mode in [[Forum settings]] for further details.<br />
<br />
A teacher can also subscribe selected students to the forum via ''Settings > Forum administration > Show/edit current subscribers''.<br />
<br />
==How can I change the 'From' address for forum notifications sent via email?==<br />
<br />
By default, a user's email is set as the 'From' address for forum notifications (unless the user has hidden their email address in their profile) so that recipients can choose to reply personally rather than via the forum. To set noreply@yourmoodlesite.org as 'From' address for all forum notification emails, untick the forum_replytouser checkbox in ''Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Forum''.<br />
<br />
==How can I remove the words "Site news"?==<br />
You can change the words to something else from ''Administration>Forum administration>Edit settings'' but to have no words at all - and without touching the code - do the following:<br />
*As admin go to ''Administration>Site administration>Appearance>HTML settings'' and uncheck/untick ''Remove HTML tags from all activity names''<br />
*Go to ''Administration>Forum administration<Edit settings'' (for the site news) and type:<br />
[[File:sitenewsname.png]]<br />
<br />
*Save. What this does is code a space into the name field so Moodle thinks there is something in the required field - but that something is a space, not words.<br />
==Can I have different email digests for different forums?==<br />
<br />
This is possible, although there is not currently a setting for it. In the course you wish to manage the daily digests, type into your browser ''http://YOURMOODLESITE/mod/forum/index.php?id=2'' (where ''YOURMOODLESITE'' is your Moodle and the ''=number'' is the course ID) This will bring you to the index page of all your subscribed forums and you can specify how you want to receive notifications from there.<br />
{|<br />
|[[File:26forumdigest.png|thumb|Per forum digest settings]]<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==How can a teacher see all of a student's forum posts in a course?==<br />
If a teacher clicks on the profile of a particular student, for example via the Participants link, they can then access a link ''Forum posts'' from the Navigation block. Expanding this link will offer the option either to see all posts or any discussions started by that student.<br />
<br />
[[File:studentforumposts.png]]<br />
<br />
==How can a user see all their forum posts on Moodle?==<br />
A user can view all their forum posts by going to the Navigation block and clicking ''My profile>Forum posts.'' Expanding this link will offer the option either to see all posts or any discussions started.<br />
<br />
[[File:seeallforumposts.png]]<br />
<br />
==How can I remove a rating from a forum post?==<br />
It is not currently possible to remove a rating which might have been made by mistake or by malice. However, if a certain poster gives inappropriate ratings on a regular basis, it is possible to create a custom system role preventing them from rating posts and applying this role to the specified posters.<br />

==Wikindx filter for Moodle==<br />
<br />
Dan Stowell has created a "Wikindx filter" for Moodle which allows you to cross-link to a wikindx entry by typing (for example) wikindx:646. The filter is in contrib CVS, named "filter_wikindx" or can be downloaded at http://download.moodle.org/download.php/modules/filter_wikindx.zip<br />
<br />
From MG:<br />
Some design considerations for a moodle filter that enables a wikindx to be searched, a reference to be selected, page number(s) to be added and the in-text or footnote citation and full reference to be returned formatted to the user's requirements.<br />
<br />
NB With everything else I have going on (PhD, Wikindx, life) I have no intention of setting up Moodle for testing this (no prior experience in Moodle let alone moodle filters) but, if someone is willing to a) write the moodle filter code and b) be prepared to run beta wikindx code to test the interface, then I would be more than happy to do whatever needs to be done in the wikindx code. The wikindx code will be easy: I can't speak for the moodle code (but, see below, imagine that quite a bit of it could be pulled from wikindx). I also have no idea if moodle filters alone can accomplish what I've suggested below or if the code needs greater integration in the moodle core code.<br />
<br />
1/ The Moodle filter needs to provide 3 basic functions:<br />
:a) an icon in the HTML text editor that opens a pop-up,<br />
:b) the pop up should provide a simple search/select interface to wikindx resources,<br />
:c) once the selected wikindx resource has been inserted into the text, the moodle HTML editor text is saved and the filter sends the reference (and style and page number(s)) to wikindx for formatting and insertion into the moodle text.<br />
<br />
2/ Because what is supplied to the pop-up (see below) requires a connection to wikindx, the filter should have a config file for the wikindx database connection details. wikindx 3.4 now allows admins to lock out read-only users so this config file may also have the option to add a wikindx username::password pair (I would not favour this though).<br />
<br />
3/ The search interface could be similar to the wikindx Quick Search interface less the ordering options (to save on space). [WIKINDX code (filling the pop-up)]<br />
<br />
4/ The results of a search should be displayed with multiple resources next to radio buttons, a select box to choose the formatting style and text boxes to enter page number(s). Each radio button has a value that is the unique resource ID in the wikindx. [WIKINDX code]<br />
<br />
5/ Once the appropriate resource has been selected and other details added, clicking on a 'process' button will add the appropriate filter mark-up which may be something like:<br />
:wikindx:34:12[APA]<br />
:wikindx:56:34-35[CHICAGO]<br />
<br />
where the first number is the wikindx resource ID, the second number(s) is the page and [...] is the bibliographic style chosen. [WIKINDX code]<br />
<br />
6/ On saving the moodle text, that markup is extracted and sent to the wikindx server (something like http://....index.php&externalResourceGrab&id=56&pages=34-35&style=CHICAGO) which then formats the requested resource and provides a string in return which would consist of a serialized/base64_encoded PHP multi-dimensional array which, when unpacked, would have something like the following (if APA for example):<br />
:array(<br />
::[style] = array(<br />
:::[type] => "inText"<br />
::),<br />
::[citation] = array(<br />
:::[56] => "(Martin et al. 1978, pp.34--35)"<br />
::),<br />
::[reference] = array(<br />
:::[0] => "Martin, R. L., Thrift, N. J., & Bennett, R. J. (Eds.). (1978). ''Towards the dynamic analysis of spatial systems''. London: Pion."<br />
::)<br />
:);<br />
<br />
for a footnote-type citation (e.g. Chicago), it might be:<br />
:array(<br />
::[style] = array(<br />
:::[type] => "footnote",<br />
:::[textMarkup] => "superscript",<br />
:::[textStart] => "[",<br />
:::[textEnd] => "] ",<br />
:::[footnoteMarkup] => "normal",<br />
:::[footnoteStart] => "",<br />
:::[footnoteEnd] => ". "<br />
::),<br />
::[citation] = array(<br />
:::[56] => "''Towards the Dynamic Analysis of Spatial Systems''. 1978. Edited by R. L. Martin, N. J. Thrift and R. J. Bennett. London: Pion. pp.34--35"<br />
::),<br />
::[reference] = array(<br />
:::[0] => "''Towards the Dynamic Analysis of Spatial Systems''. 1978. Edited by R. L. Martin, N. J. Thrift and R. J. Bennett. London: Pion."<br />
::)<br />
:);<br />
<br />
:NB 1/ The italics (and any underline, bold etc.) would be returned as HTML markup. [WIKINDX code]<br />
:NB 2/ For footnote-type styles, [style][textMarkup] indicates whether the in-text reference ([1] for example should be 'superscript', 'subscript' or 'normal' (default)) -- for the footnote, such formatting could be HTML-encoded in [citation][56]. Ditto for the footnote.<br />
:NB 3/ [style][textStart] and [style][textEnd] are characters that are printed before and after the in-text reference number. Ditto for the footnote. They may be blank.<br />
<br />
7/ Moodle would take this array and, if [style][type] == 'footnote', insert something like '[1]' in the body of the text, [citation] as a footnote and, if required, append [reference] to a bibliography (perhaps this is just future-proofing in this case). However, if [style][type] == 'inText', [citation] would be inserted in the body of the text and [reference] appended.<br />
<br />
8/ In the case of multiple citations, wikindx should be able to provide the second element of the array correctly ordered as per the style requirements. So you might have something like:<br />
<br />
:array(<br />
::[style] = array(<br />
:::[type] => "inText"<br />
::),<br />
::[citation] = array(<br />
:::[56] => "(Martin et al. 1978, pp.34--35)",<br />
:::[34] => "(Aarseth et al. 2003)"<br />
::),<br />
::[reference] = array(<br />
:::[0] => "Aarseth, E., Smedstad, S. M., & Sunnanå, L. (2003, November 4—6). ''A multi-dimensional typology of games''. Paper presented at Level Up, Utrecht Universiteit.",<br />
:::[1] => "Martin, R. L., Thrift, N. J., & Bennett, R. J. (Eds.). (1978). ''Towards the dynamic analysis of spatial systems''. London: Pion."<br />
::)<br />
:);<br />
<br />
In this way separate orders are maintained for the citation and the appended bibliography. Additionally, having [citation][56] and [citation][34] allows for a quick search and replace, once the array has been returned, on the moodle text using something like "/\Wwikindx:$citationIndex.*\s/Ui"<br />
[WIKINDX code]<br />
<br />
Perhaps the above is not do-able as a simple moodle filter?<br />
<br />
It should be noted that the footnote type display of citations above is a simplified version of what the full WIKINDX/OSBib code offers where, in addition to deciding on endnote/footnote types, there is also the possibility for in-text footnote references to be repeated/reused if they refer to the same reference, for in-text citations to be manipulated or even dropped entirely on a whole set of conditions (title/author name in same sentence, that reference already referred to in the text body etc. etc. etc.) just to name a few of the extra processing on offer. All of this is, of course, in the case of multiple citations within the same body of text. To get this functionality, the whole body of text would need to be sent to wikindx for processing -- this may be a step too far in this case.<br />
<br />
::Perhaps sending the complete body of text would be easiest. I can simply set the wikindx code to ignore markup outside the wikindx::xxxx tag. --[[User:Mark Grimshaw|Mark Grimshaw]] 13:31, 3 September 2006 (CDT)<br />
<br />
==Outline thoughts on integration...==<br />
<br />
1. Do we need to allowing a user already logged into a Moodle site to be seamlessly logged in to a wikindx? Or maybe just use the same login details between the two (like the way that Moodle.org and MoodleDocs works). If necessary, something could be added to wikindx to enable this. In most cases though, with the right config settings, wikindx will allow any read only request without requiring login.<br />
<br />
2. Another issue is how to integrate the paper writing function of Wikindx into Moodle. What about use of the HTML editor? Could it be integrated some way with the Netpublish module? Imagine students or professors being able to use it to write academic papers and then publish those on the Moodle site. Currently wikindx publishes papers solely to RTF. It should be simple to publish to HTML since that's what the raw document is anyway (a matter of adding HTML header/footer, formatting citations and appending bibliographies -- most of this code is already in wikindx but not (yet) made available to the word processor). Compared to other HTML editors, the only additional options wikindx offers in its version are buttons to import citations, metadata and insert footnotes. All the rest (barring stats, timestamps, save etc.) are font/text formatting.<br />
<br />
3. For the filter above, how do you decide what bibliographic style to present in (APA, Chicago, IEEE etc.)? Presumably, this is something that could be set in the filter config file. (Although I haven't seen the filter in operation, I'm assuming it picks up a properly formatted reference for insert. Either short (Grimshaw, 2006) or long (Grimshaw, Mark N. 2006, WIKINDX [OSS].) for example. Is the only method of citation available parenthetical? Is it possible to use endnotes (or footnotes) as well? Yes, endnote/footnote styles are available as well.<br />
<br />
:''Note from DS: No, at present the Wikindx filter simply displays the text "wikindx:646" (for example). It's a very simple start and I hope that people with more knowledge of Wikindx will be able to modify it to extract the properly-formatted reference direct from Wikindx. If wikindx had a system whereby a certain URL call would supply the reference text in whatever style was configured for wikindx, this would be a good way to display the citation nicely within Moodle. Does such a call exist? I don't think so. Something like mywikindx.com/index.php?'''action=resourceGrabCitation'''&id=501 would be required.''<br />
<br />
:''Note from JB: As the wikindx admin can set the default bibliographic style in the config, the filter will just present that style. The filter is simple but oh so useful! So when I type '''wikindx:1''' into my moodle installation, it creates an automatic link to http://www.baillie.org.uk/wikindx//index.php?action=resourceView&id=1<br />
<br />
:''Note from MG: action=resourceGrabCitation can be added and the default citation formatting applied. A possible gotcha in that there may be a problem with footnote/endnote style citation is that not only would you need the footnote marker (e.g. [1]) but you would also need the full reference to be appended to the text as a footnote (I'm assuming this is required rather than just using [1] as a hyperlink to the wikindx resource -- presumably you would want to use the same strict referencing that students are required to use). Hence, in this case, the returned values would consist of two values -- one the citation to be hyperlinked and the other the full reference to be appended.'' <br />
<br />
:''Note from MG: In wikindx, inserting a citation into metadata or the word processor involves clicking on an icon which opens a popup. In this, there is a select box listing short entries of all available resources and some text fields for users to enter cited page numbers. Perhaps something similar could be used in the moodle wikindx filter to avoid the hassle of having to look up the wikindx resource id before entering it into moodle. This pop-up could also list the available citation/bibliographic styles on the wikindx allowing the user to select the style with which the citation should be formatted prior to insertion into moodle.''<br />
<br />
4. Mark, your remarks in 2 have gotten me thinking. Although not everyone likes the Moodle HTML area editor that much, it still is the standard way of creating text in Moodle and perhaps a way of integrating Wikindx would be to add buttons for Wikindx to it, just like the kind described above in Wikindx's native editor. I needed to integrate a hieroglyph editor into my site and Janne Mikkonen helped me to add it through a button in the html editor that pops up a window, in which the student type the hieroglyphs they need, and then click a button to have them inserted back into the editor-similar to the way the insert image popup works. I would imagine something similar could be done with Wikindx. The advantage of this is that it would make Wikindx accessible anywhere within Moodle, rather than just as a separate module. You might also want a standalone module option whereby students could collaborate on creating bibliographies together.<br />
<br />
:''Note from MG: Adding the appropriate buttons would be my suggestion. In wikindx, citations are added by the popup automatically adding something like''<br />
:''[cite]146:22-23[/cite]''<br />
:''where 146 is the resource ID in the database and 22-23 are the page nos. This can be added via a cite button or will be appended to an inserted quotation/paraphrase via the wikindx 'insert metadata' button. Footnotes (i.e. parenthetical thoughts as opposed to citation footnotes - WIKINDX does handle those footnotes/endnotes as well) are inserted via a button which encloses the inserted footnote in:''<br />
:''[footnote]....[/footnote]''<br />
<br />
:''Exporting to RTF, the cite tags are substituted with the formatted citation marker (in-text or footnote/endnote), bibliographic information is extracted and appended to a bibliography and footnote tags are converted to RTF footnotes. Of course, all HTML code (font/text formatting, tables, lists, images etc.) are converted to their appropriate RTF code too.''<br />
<br />
5. Re the citation/bibliographic formatting, the PHP code for this has been extracted from wikindx and made available to other OSS apps at http://bibliophile.sourceforge.net (I think Aigaion and Bibliograph use it or are about to) so it may be easy enough for Moodle to use this too. In fact doubly easy if moodle interfaces with a wikindx because the quickest way to set up the formatting engine is to provide data to it in exactly the same PHP associative array that wikindx natively expects.<br />
<br />
6. What capabilities are there in Wikindx at this time for different capabilities in using bibliographies? Can bibliographies be shared by a predefined group/all users? Can some people be given the ability to add to a bibliography while others can only use the bibilography? Can bibliography entries be required to have approval by some person before they are displayed to all? These would be nice features to have.<br />
<br />
:''MG: WIKINDX recognizes two types of bibliography; the master bibliography (MB) and user bibliographies (UB). The MB holds the resources while UBs merely have references to resources from the MB. Currently both the MB and UBs are readable by all users. A UB is owned by a user and only he/she can add/delete references to resources. All write enabled users can add to the MB. Because I'm aiming towards collaborative authoring in the word processor (SUWP), a long-standing feature to be implemented is to add user groups (i.e. research teams). Then, the owner of a UB can add other users with write access to the UB and only those users can browse the UB. Additionally, a user can make comments and musings private, shared with a group or public. Of course, a SUWP article can be shared among a group. This hasn't been implemented yet -- I need to find someone familiar with wiki technology to help implement the collaborative authoring first.''<br />
