I am entirely new to Moodle and have been asked to export the interactions of around 50 quizzes weekly.
For the first week I did it manually but it's a real pain...
I am looking for a way to trigger something to produce and send or save every interactions report on Monday, for example.
I've googled and looked for a solution in the moodle Docs but either I am not looking in the right place, either I am the only one in the world trying to do something of the sort, which I strongly doubt.
I have accees to the database and have got administrator privileges
Any help would be most welcome,
Thank you.

When programming i usually do everything myself and recycle code when needed so for once i decided to try out a development platform to speed up the process so i picked oracle apex- only to find myself suffering with overchoice
Normally if wanted the user to give me some data id just make a form and the data just ends up on my database, not hard.
this isnt what i want to make, this is just for the sake of an example of the way one usually goes about this
another example
But now in oracle apex i dont even know if this is even the right way of asking end user to input data into a table, what should i do if -for example- i just want to make the user run some calculations and then store the results? Is there something specific that apex already has for this or do i do it myself normally
Any tutorials or the names of the functions i need to use would be helpful
I think maybe what you might want is Report with Form.
Its a setup the Page Wizard can make for you which is essentially exactly what you want. You select the table and columns, then it makes one page with a table of all entries, and you can click on an entry or click to make a new entry, and it opens up a form with the relevant page items which you input or edit, and then save.
Maybe a general APEX guide would be best for you since you are so new to it. Because if you know what is possible, then you might find different solutions to problems you have. I dont have a guide to recommend unfortunatelly, but I am sure you can find plenty on google, just make sure the version is correct, it doesent have to be for your exact version(there is a big difference pre 18 and post 18, less so with 19 and 20)
Yes, APEX can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning. Your question is very generic so it is hard to give you a detailed answer. In general, if you have the data in a single record, then a form is the way to go (easiest is to start with report and from). If you need to modify certain column data after user submit, you can do that in processes or computations before submit.
Feel free to ask a question with your specific business requirement - you're pretty sure to get an answer here.
I'm a wordpress developer, but for a customer we are gonna set up moodle courses.
Some courses are fine and are linking to other courses on other sites that tracks completion.
But on some courses we are gonna set up a youtube video with vidtrack.
This vidtrack is logging in the database mdl_youtube that the user with id something is stating the video, pausing and reached the end.
It's this END that we are interested in.
None of us has ever been using moodle so this is kinda new.
We have been checking the activity completion in the course but can't find anything that will let us use this logging to the database from vidtrack.
Is this something that we have to code on our own? And where in moodle source code do we do this?
Hope you guys understood the question.
I will answer all the questions that you have in case i left something out or are very bad at explaining the problem.
Have a nice day.
The only solution that seems to me without getting into coding is that, put all your files through SCROM packages in SCO and then divide them into segments.
If it is a long video, this would definitely be a good strategy because even though one cannot force students to actually see the video, at least they would be forced to wait for each segment to end and then click on the next section.
Thanks!!
Thank you in advance for reading this. Here is the situation. I have been working on a online guitar shop using Magento CE 1.7 for several months. I greatly underestimated the cost of the site and I know that is my fault not the client who by the way is a great guy. There where many issues that took a lot of time including having to move it from a testing server to the real domain, many logo tweaks etc. I am almost done with it and really need to “stop the bleeding” so to speak however there is one feature that he really wants that I am at my whits end with.
Its a custom order form for guitar pickups. He had one on his old site that was don’t in ASP and besides not knowing ASP we are now on a Unix server.
His requirements are “the ability for someone to choose a category (ie: 7-string, Strat Replacement, Tele Replacement, etc) , and then have it be able to only show options that are applicable to what that selection. I want customers to be able to see descriptions of each pickup somewhere on this page. I also want people to be able to see what the covers/colors look like when they choose that.”
I was able to use the way back machine to at least show you guys what he wants, here is the link http://web-beta.archive.org/web/20120127233223/http://www.axepalace.com/pickup_order.asp
Here is my attempt to create it with a product with lots of options. http://axepalace.com/pickups/bare-knuckle/bkp-order-form/bare-knuckle-pickup-order-form.html
So could anyone please give me some feedback / suggestions. My sanity would really appreciate it!
I'm currently designing my very first Website for a small business Intranet (5 pages). Can anyone recommend the best way to manage content for the Company News section? I don't really want to get involved in day to day content updates so something that would be simple for the Marketing guy to create and upload a simple news article, perhaps created in MS Word, lets assume the author has no html skills.
I've read about Content Management systems but,
A. I won't get any funding for purchase and
B. Think it's a bit overkill for a small 5 page internal website.
It's been an unexpected hurdle in my plans, for something that I'd assumed would be a fairly common functionality I can't seem to find any definitive articles to suit my needs.
I'm open to suggestions (even if it's confirmation that a CMS is the only way to go).
Your requirements are : small site, no budget and the need for it to be easy for the marketing guy to upload a news item.
My recommendation would be to go with an all in one CMS e.g wordpress which has the kind of functionality you're talking about out of the box.
My guess is this organisation is just getting into "intranets" so something quick and simple that can be used to justify expenditure if value is returned is the key. Perhaps look at a plugin that automatically emails a summary of the blog posts to all employees once a week would be useful ?
There are many options and you can use any one of these:
Joomla
SilverStripe CMS
ModX
Cushy CMS
Frog CMS
Drupal
Additional in what Mr. Mckinnon said, you must keep in mind that if you don't want to get involved in daily updates of the people who is going to use the platform, you should consider the following:
What kind of data you want to be displayed
Who can view/modify that data
Who can create/remove data
How you will be organizing all that data
Your intranet should not be limited to display or create data, eventually all that data can turn into a beautiful Knowledge Base (KB) for your company that eventually your coworkers can share their solutions to common and rare problems that company can present eventually. This KB is amazing and time-saving, it is recommended to start it as soon as possible, so newcomers to your Company have access to it and see the most common issues and they can enter into production asap (we all know time is a luxury in every company regarding size).
Just keep in mind too, that all that knowledge and data is beyond valuable to you and your coworkers, so you should also consider some additional login credentials so your Company System Administrator can manage those credentials and also eventual audit for unauthorized access (if applicable).
I hope this helps from the administrative point of view
I am a frequent R user (the very first program I turn on everyday when I back to office is RStudio and I spend >50% of time using R to do manipulation, tabulation and visualization of data). Sometimes I need to get involved in the data collection process of various research project, that is I need to develop a database with frontend to facilitate a clerk, or someone with little sense in programming/database to do the data entry job.
Since most of the data collection process involve manually inputting a questionnaire with more than 50 questions (100 - 200 columns when they presented as a spreadsheet), and there are relationship between different questionnaire (e.g. questionnaire A collect information from a shop, and questionnaire B collect information from the staff inside that shop), initially I use Access 2007 for the development. Access 2007 does the job, but only fairly.
My major complain on Access 2007 is as follow:
developing the front-end is painful: after using R for long, I really hate using mouse to drag and drop boxes, and enabling some certain functions of a checkbox
fair/poor multi-user support in my opinion: if I am the only one who use the Access 2007 program, I am fine with it, but things start to change now, we have multi-user logon to add/update/remove data at the same time, since the database is developed by someone else, I always fear that the data may get corrupted
keep "reinventing the wheel": the database developer build the user login module in Access 2007 all by himself, but should this be something of a standard that I can get it from somewhere?
auto-compress the database and the database is VANISHED: yes, I do mean vanished, I tried it once, and it freaks me out, now I backup the access database all the time
In summary, I lost faith in Access 2007 to build a decent database for several staff (at most 20) to do the data entry/query work. So I turn to other options.
I am thinking of something like a "web-based" replace of Access 2007, xataface comes to me at first, but it doesn't seem like a complete solution for me, it can fix some of my problem now, but may not be so for other problems.
Then I googled quite a bit: xataface -> nuBuilder -> Drupal -> Web Application Framework. Since I don't find an exact alternative for Access 2007. I guess Web Application Framework is a way out.
In the Web Application Framework domain, I come across many names: CakePHP, RoR, Django, since I am not exactly a program/database/web developer, and I know nothing about PHP, Python, Ruby. I don't know which one I should choose. Or should I learn the language before go to the framework?
Can anyone enlighten me here? I can provide additional information if needed. Thanks.
Try looking into VFront and nuBuilder. These allow you to build front ends to MySQL databases (i.e. forms, reports, etc.).
