No that doesn't need changing for the moodlepatch to work.

I have just noticed that there is a PHP_SESSION_NAME referenced in the
management screens. It is currently XERTE_TOOLKITS.Does this need changing?

Sorry been on the road and busy with other things so only just reading this
thread...

Ken please verify the following:

1. you put each of the files from the patch in the root of your toolkits
installation
session.php
management.php
index.php
integration_library.php
and export.php to \website_code\php\scorm\

2. you edited integration_library.php and used a root path in there rather
than something like ../../moodle/config.php e.g. on a shared hosting plan
this should be something like "/home/youraccountname/public_html/config.php"

I have this patch running on 3 different servers and none of them required
any change to any moodle files and it was never the intention tp require any
change to moodle files so I would stay well clear of that. Neither did they
require any change to default session paths etc.

As I mentioned at the recent event it might also be worth ensuring you have
a unique cookie prefix set in your admin settings but I doubt that's the
cause of the problem you highlight here.

Wonder if anyone can help?

I a using the moodle integration patch, and logins in fine. However when I
try to edit or preview a project I get a blank page. I have traced execution
and edit.php doesn't seem to have any of the session variables available to
it - it therefore tries to select from the table with a userid of null.

How should the session variables be passed? Not a PHP expert and it is not
obvious to me!

Many thanks
