[Xerte] Xerte and Moodle authentication problems on'Techdis' servers

[Andy Jackson]

Ron,
Sorry for the late reply, I've had other priorities over the past week!
Re: management page; I've tried your suggestion( with Googlechrome,
Firefox and IE7) , still the same problem.
I always have to put in the xerteadmin authentication details at the
management page (ie it won't take me directly to the management page)

Cheers
AJ

Hi Andy
with the moodle patch applied the usual toolkits logout link at the top
right of the page doesn't really work because the authentication is
being handled by Moodle rather than toolkits. It would be possible to
change that link so that it points to the moodle logout page e.g.
/moodle/login/logout.php I can advise on what file to edit and where to
add that but probably best to do so off-list. The other solution is to
simply close the browser. 

re the management page what happens if you close all existing browser
windows then start a new window and go direct to the management page
address?

Ron

Hi,
I've  moved the Xerte folder into the Moodle directory , installed Ron's
patches for Moodle authentication and basically copied the Xerte
database  and edited the root_path variable to point to the new database
and reconfigured the the database.php (also suggested by Ron).

Moodle/LDAP authentication works fine for all users, , however , when I
log out I get taken back to the original Xerte folder , not the one in
the moodle folder. This happen for all users.

Also when I log into the management console;
(http://<servername>...moodle/Xerte/management.php)    with the admin
account (I checked the values in sitedetails table),  the site
management page opens up, but its blank and  the message says ' this
feature is for administrators only'

Any ideas?

Cheers
