[Server-devel] Turn editing on is not available

Hi Andra,

 

I haven't received any other feedback on this yet, so thanks for this. I
will try it but am worried by the warning given. What we are doing is
building a "master" XS to be cloned for up to 20 other servers. So rather
than have that risk multiplied by 20 it may be best to rebuild it completely
to get back the "turn editing on" facility that we have lost, unless Martin
or others can advise.

 

To restate, we had made a couple of changes to the System Roles to reassign
the main admin XO. That was fine, but in the process we now find that "turn
editing on" does not appear on the home page of the assigned Course Creator
XOs.

We have been rearranging the admin laptops using the assign system roles to
make other XOs course creators, etc.

 

We have ended up with two Course Creators, both have "create new course"
visible on the home page, but neither has "Turn editing on" visible on the
Front page. Using Front Page > Assign Roles to make them course creators
within that context does not correct this.

 

Any tips welcome.

 

David, I'm not sure if you got an answer or not. I am new to this, and I'm
not sure what caused your issue, but if you log into Moodle as admin, then
under Users / Permissions you will have the capability to Define roles.
Under Course creator at the right side, you can edit the roles. I was not
able to do this from my XO as mentioned at the bottom of the Wiki clip
below. I was able to do it from a non-XO by connecting to the AP and using a
browser to login to the schoolserver with the information given below.

Wiki excerpt


Logging in with the admin account


Use at your own risk! Direct access to the admin account is not recommended.
It may break your Moodle-on-XS today, or it may lead to breakage on
upgrades.

..         Normally the account is disabled (and only enabled at upgrade
time). Enable the account with

sudo -u apache php /var/www/moodle/web/local/scripts/adminuser-enable.php

..         After each upgrade, the account will be disabled again.

..         Look at the password - it is different for every XS:

cat /etc/moodle/adminpw

..         Login with the username admin.

..         If you are logging in from an XO which auto-logins using your
registered account, you can access the login page directly by editing the
URL to say  <http://servername/moodle/login/>
http://servername/moodle/login/. You can use this form even if you are
logged in.
