[Xerte] Re: Moodle and cmi calls

Fri Apr 1 10:46:56 BST 2011

The plot thickens.

Tom (Thanks Tom!) has tested on his Moodle install and it works as expected.

The hosting service I am loading to uses Moodle 1.9.11.
I do not think the version is the issue.

Is it possible to disable specific data elements?
Since suspend_data is one of the few places you can dump stuff on the LMS, maybe they disabled for security reasons?

I tried it on a quiz in moodle 2 (Moodle 2.0.2 (Build: 20110221))

It works (as long as you do not start a new attempt). Than 
suspend_data gets erased.

I am happy to test your file. 

Regards,

Tom

Anyone have Moodle access?

I have a barebones 150K zip with nothing but a set/get pair.

Could this hosting service have killed the stored proc for suspend_data
or something?

  it ought to commit onUnload of the web apge, I think, if it
hasn't already. But there's no need to: that's all handled by the js.

Can't suss it.

alert("api var " + api);

[object object]

setValue

alert(name); //cmi.suspend_data

alert(value); //3

No errors

getValue

alert(value); //null

No errors

Do I need to force a commit or something?

How do I call that from Xerte?

Can I turn on debugging for the API intialization?

I set var _Debug = true; in apiwrapper.js but get nothing.

Does that necessarily mean it setting up OK?

Any reason for this to not work in Moodle?

  _level0.setValue('cmi.suspend_data',
'some text');

and 

_level0.getValue('cmi.suspend_data');

  getValue
returns null,
  setValue
seems to do nothing.

No API adapter errors come up.
