Marco - I have uncompressed your code and just wanted to verify for which versions of Moodle is this module intended? Thanks - Anthony

p.s. - In other words, is it just for Moodle 1.6 or would it work on 1.8 or 1.9 as well? Then I can test it and see what it does and get the ball rolling to get it into CVS.

Marco - I tried to install the activity; however, it failed during installation with MySQL errors. I will attach a pdf file showing the errors in both 1.8 and 1.9. I suspect they are the same. I am using MySQL 5. I would also suggest changing the table names to English as that would need to be done before it could be seriously considered for inclusion into Moodle core. Generally speaking, for an activity to be considered for Core it must grow in popularity among users and shown to be relatively stable and secure. Let me know when you get the install patched up or if you have any questions or need help doing so and then I can another look at it. Peace - Anthony

I'm sorry. The database script was fixed.

Anthony Borrow added a comment - 06/Apr/08 01:06 PM
Marco - Here is a list of the latest database notices that I saw during creation. I noticed that you seem to be forcing the table type to be innodb which means you are likely using the mysql.sql file rather than the install.xml which would allow for a more database independent installation. In any case, I would recommend removing the type.

I also came across numerous notices when I tried to create an instance of this and the type field did not have any options. The help files were not working either. In short, I am not able to get enough information about what this module does in order to determine if it should be added to CONTRIB. I also received some xml notices. Do you have a working site that I could see this module in action to get an idea of what it is intended to do?

Peace - Anthony

This version of EVAAB had been tested on all Moodle's releases (1.6, 1.8,1.9), i can say that there wasn't any error. The previous version had errrors with libraries requests, thanks Anthony, i hope your comments.

This is the user manual which is in Spanish, one in English soon

Marco Antonio Toscano Freire added a comment - 31/May/08 06:38 AM
This version includes the user guide in english and the updated documentation code. Anthony, I am going to wait your feedback.
Please.

Marco - Here are some PHP notices I receive when setting up a fresh install in the latest version of Moodle 1.9. (estas son las noticias de PHP que he notado durante la instalacion del modulo con Moodle 1.9) Peace (Paz) - Anthony

More errors found when I tried to create an activity.

Marco - While CONTRIB code does not need to be perfect to get into CVS I try to ensure that the code is at least reasonably functional. At this point, the EVAAB code does not seem to be functional as you have sent it to me. I've attached a two pdf files which detail the errors I have received. Once I get a copy that seems to work, I would be happy to reconsider it for inclusion into CONTRIB. As it is, I do not think it is ready to be shared with others. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help. Peace - Anthony

Aunque el codigo para CONTRIB no tiene que ser perfecto para poder incluirlo en CVS trato de averiguar que funciona. Como es, no me parece que el codigo sirve. He pegado con este informe dos archivos de pdf con mas detalles sobre los errores que he encontrado. Despues de resolverl los errores me gustaria intentarlo de nuevo para poder considerarlo otra vez para CONTRIB. Como es no me parece bueno compartirlo con los demas. Si haya alguna duda favor de preguntarme. Estoy a tus ordenes. Paz - Antonio

I am very grateful with your help, god bless you.

Marco - Thanks for your patience in getting things in order for continued testing. Please know that I happily support all contributed code. As CONTRIB Coordinator, I try to ensure that code that is offered to the community is presented in such a way as to be successful. Occasionally, some code is submitted that has a few glitches in it that might prevent it being used by the larger community. I try to work with the developer to resolve as many of those issues before releasing it to the community so that the code can get fair shake from other users. I appreciate your willingness to work with me at getting things cleaned up so that when others try the EVAAB module they do not encounter basic issues with installation. In other words, I would rather be the first person to discover some issues and help you to resolve them so that other users have a more positive experience of installing and working with your code. I try not to take a position of whether I think some code is useful (or not) because Moodle is used in so many different environments (educational and business), by different folks with different needs and expectations. My role is to help ensure that the code you have written and have generously offered to share with the community can be fairly evaluated with as few problems as possible. Please know that you can continue to count on my support to help you share your code. Peace - Anthony
