Re: [Sugar-devel] [Server-devel] Fwd: Regarding adding a moodle plugin
That would be a killer addon! I could just use libxmlrpc and write an activity which sends the pdfs to the php data warehouse server side, also prompt for the user's login. But wouldn't it be really the same thing as logging in from the moodle's plugin page, and sending those files? I guess it kills one layer of tasks, taking your suggestion I can directly queue them for printing. :D without again manually uploading them. And resend the status to the journal.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [Server-devel] Fwd: Regarding adding a moodle plugin
Well, thought that your workflow was to 1 - use activity X to create / get the document to print 2 - hit a print button or option in the Journal - this creates a PDF 3 - go to Browse.xo and visit the Local schoolserver which shows the Moodle UI 4 - find the print page, and upload the PDF to it with an xmlrpm point of entry, we cut #3 and #4. And we can pass the appropriate credentials to moodle, avoiding it askingfor a username and password. Having the webbased upload files to print UI will be needed as a fallback for users (teachers or others in the schools) that use a non-XO / non-Sugar laptop and need to print. m On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 12:18 PM, Vamsi Krishna Davuluri vamsi.davul...@gmail.com wrote: That would be a killer addon!

Re: [Sugar-devel] [Server-devel] Fwd: Regarding adding a moodle plugin
Agreed, I thought the same thing, but in my excitement I couldn't put it out coherently. :P The activity actually makes the transfer simple for the kids. And I see your point for the alternative (no XO case), I will implement it ! Thanks! ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Still makes sense to build it within moodle (those other users need to have a moodle account for many other things anyway...)
