That will definitely mess up Moodle. Login as admin and delete the
acct from the UI.

But to re-register an XO, you _do not need to do any of the XS
deletion proposed in this thread_. Just remove the config file on the
XO side and it's done.

 Great work XS team!

Thanks!

 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”

IIRC you do have your content directory configured via a config file
in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ -- so all we need is a link from Moodle...

 - The who.php page won't be displayed anymore. If your users are
registered and you're using a modern-enough Browse, Moodle will
autologin.

 - The first user to autologin successfully gets to be a
'coursecreator' with rights to add content and courses. (See XS
Techniques page for more...) With this XO, you'll see a 'turn editing
on' in the homepage. Switch it on, and use the add a resource
dropdown to add the link.

 - If you want to do it moodle-centric, you can host the files in the
site files facility.

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

Yep, as usual w moodle.

 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/

Yes. You can hit turn editing on and add it on the homepage. I can't
remember the default settings right now, you might need to go to the
homepage settings and enable has a content section for this to work.

cheers,

 User 1 (Admin), who was the first to register with XS, creates a news item

 User 2 (Teacher) doesn't see it.
 Is this expected?

Not expected. Maybe the news item is set to hidden?

[Server-devel] moodle autologin

2009-10-18 Thread Tim Moody
btw, on the first autologin moodle presents the login screen instead of the 
home page even though it says you are logged in as ... in the upper right 
corner, which is correct, and actually populates the user field with the 
user's registration string.  this can be a little confusing.
