[Xerte] Re: Moodle and cmi calls

Did all that.

In the wrapper, debugging true , alerts all the way through the process.

No errors, but it just returns null on this system.

Original system developed on (not Moodle) - works.
Tom's Moodle 2 - works
Tom's Moodle 1.9 - works

The fact that it is returning null leads me to believe it is reading the LMS.

But set is doing nothing.
Has to be something in this particular setup.

then it wouldn't comply. I suppose it's possible but I don't think that's the right tree to bark up.

How far through the process can you prove things are working?

You can run alerts, or get evidence all the way through the javascript fucntion calls? Does data appear to be being set from api wrapper?

If you can, the problem lies on the moodle side of things.

You can see the api is found and initialised? Do you have access yourself so you can try stepping through it all? I'd try and get to the point where you can prove it's not your problem to solve...

Tried another package you know to be ocmpliant? I think the ADL site had some lab rats you could use. Try and get Xerte / Flash out of the picture and see what happens? That will make it easier to prove...

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.

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?

cmi.core.suspend_data? //but I think you're right cmi.suspend_data?

What happens in the test suite?

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.
