There seems to be relevant functionality in Moodle already: check this out:<br><br><a href="http://docs.moodle.org/en/Upload_a_single_file_assignment">http://docs.moodle.org/en/Upload_a_single_file_assignment</a><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hello,<br><br><br><br>I am trying to make a moodle plug-in which displays the web folder contents stored in the school server. That is the laptop's print their jobs to cups-pdf on the school server, and these files are to be viewed by a remote system on the network when a teacher logs in. And then to be printed to the actual network printer when the teacher hits approve<br>
<br>The user will have a similar page, but only with jobs he has sent. <br><br>Here's the probable solution I have come up with, and I would like advice and info where ever I am lacking.<br><br><br>The teacher's job is easy, he will just have all the rights to the pdfs, and can view them (through a http download from the server) delete them, or approve for printing to network printer.<br>
<br>This can be implemented with simple php scripting, and as php has access to the shell, we can just write the script for it.<br>There will also be a history/summary of transactions view.<br><br>Now in the user's moodle status page, the students jobs alone, and a history of what happened to those jobs are displayed, and the feature to delete a teacher review pending job is also present.<br>
<br>The implementation can be like this, I request the user's moodle login id during printer config, and append it to my output pdf file name, and display only the names associated with his login in his page.<br><br>
or) I send a string buffer along with the print job, along with also ip details. But more effectively is it possible to read from server's datastore passkeys, and taly that pass key with the user's laptop?<br>
<br><br>Thank you!<br><br><br>
