[Server-devel] Public folders in 0.6 - trials in Pacific

[David Leeming]

Martin

 

I am just tuning in again to OLPC after some months, and am preparing for
some work in PNG, Tuvalu and FSM. I very quickly had 0.6 installed, and got
to grips with Moodle, very cool! I can do all I wanted with setting up links
to folders etc. Once again I get that "wow" feeling about the whole OLPC
thing.

 

All seems to be working OK. I am going to try setting up groups of users
(classes) and see how that pans out. Is there any data and guidelines on how
far a single server can be stretched (number of users etc) ? 

 

I am sorry if this is covered in the list but can you confirm if there is
any way to upload files to the server from an XO using moodle? 

 

Last question, it will happen that user groups and all their data will need
to be migrated. Also backing up user data and then reloading that on a
freshly configured server. What is the line on that?

Great work XS team!

 

I just have a few minor issues as I get to know the new release. 

 

I have upgraded 0.5.2 to 0.6 successfully. I want the choice to use Moodle
or to be able to browse public folders of HTML content. Previously I did
this by adding a file html.conf to /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and then having a link
to those folders on the previous default Moodle page "who.php"

 

What would be the best way to do this with 0.6? At the moment none of the
content we had been using before is accessible because the server locks one
into a Moodle course-centric approach. What if you just want to browse
content? 

 

Secondly, if I create a course, can I create different formats such as
weekly, scorm and so on?

 

If I want to access my html content from a Moodle "course" approach, how do
I add a link to it from the Moodle course (as course creator)? Should I be
seeing a full range of  normal Moodle edit functions/
