Hi Team my question is in moodle to upload a scorm firstly we need to create a course >turn on editing >>then Adding a new SCORM package>> after this need o upload scorm file.
So i am thinking to make this process easier .but i am not sure which PHP function are being used in moodle at backend to upload scorm and create course automatically.
If any one knows please advise?
You could create a course with a scorm activity, backup the course then restore it multiple times. But you will still need to edit and add the scorm package for each course.
There is also a command line tool called Moosh
https://moosh-online.com/
So you could create a course and add a scorm activity via the command line, but you will still need to edit and upload the scorm package for each course
Examples from https://moosh-online.com/commands/
moosh course-create --category 1 --fullname "full course name" --description "course description" --idnumber "course idnumber" shortname
moosh activity-add -n scorm1 -o '--intro=my intro ABC --forcenewattempt=1' scorm 2

I am a beginner on the Scorm. I want to access scorm content from a different server. a video/image is stored on s1 instance and accessing the content from an LMS via scorm which is hosted on a different instance, s2.
What needs to be modified in the scorm to make it accessible to the cloud-hosted scorm content?
I changed the content location path from imsmanifest.xml file. But still not access the cloud content.
The following steps are followed to update a Scorm content with cloud content.
Took a scorm package.
Unzip the scorm package and changed an mp4 video content with cloud-hosted URL. Screenshot:
Zip the scorm and upload on a Moodle LMS.
Experiencing this error:
It seems it is still taking the old path.
Listing the file file in SCORM manifest file is just to tell the LMS what files to expect in the package (and I'm not even sure if Moodle's SCORM implementation uses that information at all, or just accepts what's in the package).
For the video hosted outside the package to be accessed by the user, you need to use the full path in the HTML or javascript code used to display the video.
This isn't actually a SCORM issue, it's a run-of-the-mill HTML web page issue.
I am working with Alfresco as Back-end and in alfresco some task done by executing workflow.Now my problem is I want to add workflow in alfresco manually but i don't know where to put workflow script so i will choose from work space ?
Following picture describes my problem :
I reached below point but don't know what to do further ?
According to above picture From where these bunch of files are came..?? OR At which location i will find these files in project workspace?
Login as admin in alfresco.
Navigate to Company home>Data dictionary>Scripts
You will be able to see all these files.
If you upload any of your js file then it will be automatically pickedup and addedinto this list.
You will find them in Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts.
I have installed TYPO3 on my web server and it use the "Introduction Package" template.
The problem is that I have to work on another TYPO3 online website that use a custom template.
Can I obtain the template of the online website and use it on my local website? (to perform some test in local).
I saw that TYPO3 uses various templating systems and I do not know how this could affect the export\import operation. In Joomla or WP I simply take the template directory and then I copy it into the themes directory but I think that in TYPO3 this operation could be more complex.
The fastest way is to copy these directories:
fileadmin
uploads
typo3conf/ext
and the complete database, then you have "cloned" the original website locally. (assuming that the core stuff is loaded the default way, with symlinks)
Then you just need to edit the database connection stuff and maybe some paths for image magick and so on in the typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php.
I would like a better workflow for debugging uploaded SCOs. As things are, I must edit a file in the activity, repackage, upload, and test. Often, I just need to change a single line of code. It would be VERY nice to be able to edit that file, that line of code, on the server. So far, all I've found is that Moodle manages the files, so it seems impractical to locate and decipher the renamed files after upload.
Is there a way to configure Moodle so that it doesn't rename and relocated files in SCOs upon extraction? Actually, I'm open to any suggestions on the best, fastest workflow for debugging SCOs.
Problem background
Since Moodle 2.0, files are no longer stored on server in the conventional /this/is/the/path/to/my.file way. Instead, files are rehashed and stored in Repositories (i.e. spread all over the moodledata folder as a collection of seemingly random data). This increases security and cross-OS compatibility but complicates stuff for people who would like to simply upload a SCORM zip package via FTP. Here's more information on file handling in Moodle 2.0
Path to the soluton
Let's locate the file you want to update, then update it.
Run phpmyadmin, go to mdl_files table, find your file by name in the filename field (let's say it's portrait.jpg)
Look at the contenthash field, it'll look like abcde1234567890. This means your file is stored in moodledata/filedir/ab/cd/ folder under the name abcde1234567890.
Rename the updated portrait.jpg to abcde1234567890, upload and overwrite.
Go back to phpmyadmin and update the filesize field in record for portrait.jpg with the size of the updated file.
Obviously, this process can be automated. You'll have to write a script that allows you to upload a file, then it'll search for that file in mdl_files, save it to the correct folder and update all fields accordingly.
Alternative idea
Enable external package type (and also enable 'Update on every launch'). Go to Site administration / Plugins / Activities / SCORM and check the box down below. Now you'll be able to launch SCORM packages directly from another server, so Moodle won't mess with it. Of course, you can run in other (probably cross-domain related) problems.
Sergey's answer is very good, with one caveat:
In his example with the contenthash of abcde1234567890, the file is stored in the moodledata/filedir/ab/cd/ folder under the name abcde1234567890. Moodle uses the full contenthash to name the file.
I have to solve the following task for our university homepage:
Whenever a pdf is requested the user has to accept a license, which pops up.
On Agree the download starts. If not, no download is possible.
I searched through the extensions but did not find any extension doing the job. Maybe you know one...
So I tried to implement my own extension. Taking the strengths of securelinks (Allows access control to files from a configurable directory ... presents a license acceptation prior to download) and naw_securedl ("Secure Download": Apply TYPO3 access rights to ALL file assets (PDFs, TGZs or JPGs etc. - configurable) - protect them from direct access.) I wanted to combine both extensions to have one that:
whenever a pdf file is requested (naw_securedl)
a license is shown and in case of ACCEPT a redirect to the file happens (securelinks).
This task sounds very easy, since I only have to combine both tasks. Anyway, I failed.
How do you solve this problem?
Do you know some extension doing the job?
Is anyone interested in a cooperation in which we try to create an extension thats doing the job?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Assuming that all donwloads are stored in one folder, I'd recommend writing your own little extension that replaces every link with a link to an intermediate site, like this:
www.mydomain.com/acceptlicense.html?downloadfile=myhighqualitycontent.pdf.
On the accept license page, users need to check the accept license checkbox, then click a submit button, which leads them to the download page, still carrying the GET parameter:
www.mydomain.com/download.html?downloadfile=myhighqualitycontent.pdf.
If not all files are in the same folder, you can replace slashes in the file path with other characters (they need to work in the URL). Or you might need a database table that indexes the files, so you can use IDs for the download files:
www.mydomain.com/acceptlicense.html?downloadfileID=99
If you don't know at all how to write TYPO3 extensions, consider using individual php/html files out of the TYPO3 context.
