 Working iwth the La Rioja team, I rolled a new moodle-xs RPM that can
 pick $CFG overrides from files dropped in /etc/moodle/conf.d/ .

 Based on the example, I assume you mean .php files with valid php code and
 that do appropriate assignments to $CFG.  Is it possible to break moodle?

Yes. All moodle configuration is done in PHP code. If invalid, you
break moodle.

 Does this run at each startup or only once?  How does it interact with
 changes done through the admin interface?

These are read on every HTTP request, and override changes done via
admin interface. IOWs you can use it to lockdown values.

Re: [Server-devel] OLPC Moodle use

2010-04-16 Thread David Leeming
Is there an existing Wiki page where we can all add our contributions? This
is a very good idea. I would suggest also some suggestions or approaches to
training teachers to use it, i.e. a training curriculum introducing the
features in a manageable way. For many of the teachers we deal with, the
OLPC is their first experience with any type of computing.

Subject: [Server-devel] OLPC  Moodle use

 

Dear members of the server-devel@lists.laptop.org,

 

Currently I'm preparing a presentation for the Dutch Moodle Moot.

I hope to spread the word of the wonderful things that happen 
possibilities regarding the use of Moodle related to the OLPC project.

 

For that reason I try to create an overview of best practices regarding the
use of Moodle in the OLPC project.

 

All your comments and suggestions are warmly welcome!

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Best regards,

 

Luuk Terbeek

One could demonstrate in the native format here, schools.sugarlabs.org/.

That would remove a translation layer.  There are, of course wikis available
at
http://wiki.laptop.org and http://wiki.sugarlabs.org where one could start a
new
page.
