Publishflow Block: Publishing view

Back to index

This view is available on in a Course Factory mode. It will propose the possibility to publish the course to any of the proposed remote category.

Publishing is possible :

• Only from a Factory to a Catalog.
• On a combined (Factory/Catalog) node, only deployement is possible.
• If MNET is enabled (obvious).
• If publishing services are setup between the Factory and a Catalog node.
• If the user has a peer User record in the remote Catalog (i.e. he must be a known user matching his current identity regarding the MNET operations).
• If the user has the 'block/publishflow:publish' capability in his current profile resolution.
• If the course has been assigned an IDNumber (can help tracking course copies across the system).
• If the course to publish has at least one backup in 'backupdata'.

Network misconfigured

This interface is shown on a factory when no catalog could be found in the neighborhood. A link is provided to the Moodle administrator to browse to the network discovery back-office. This back-office allows scanning the accessible Moodle Network to get information about peers participating to a course delivery network.

To publish a course

• Just click the "publish" link

Retiring a course

• You may want to unpublish a course that has been exposed within the Course Catalog. This is posible by unpublishing the course. The remote course WILL NOT be destroyed, but only hidden.

Republish a course

A course being republished is just set to visible state in remote Catalog.
