That's likely because starting with Onlyoffice Editor 7.2, a token is set automatically, which may have replaced your previous token.
Version 2022120300 of the plugin has been tested to work with OO versions from 7.1.x - 7.5.x
We have installed OnlyOffice version 7.3.3.2 on our server. The plugin no longer works. The following message appears: 'Server is not available, please contact admin'. But the server is available.
Is the error known? If so, will there be a new update in the foreseeable future?
We are using the plugin version 2022120300.
Thanks for those awesome suggestions, @Michelle Doyle.
You'll see that the suggestions on support for grading and groups are already in the issue tracker at https://github.com/logicexpertise/moodle-mod_onlyoffice/issues, although not quite the same as your suggestions. If you don't mind could you please add your suggestions to the tracker, including the suggestion on BBB integration.
I haven't been able to install the server yet, as I am not much of a developer but I did install this plugin to have a look at completion tracking, grading, etc.
This activity could be revolutionary for schools and save a lot of time when we reset courses but I have 2 suggestions to make it even better.
We use collaborative documents as flipped classroom activities and sometimes as live workshop activities. In these instances, students are given a discussion and asked to give thoughts on a subject. We set up a table and each student can throw their name down, a few thoughts and the teacher can use the comments to respond and chat. Out of all our activities, including very high end stuff, again and again the students say they enjoy shared doc activities the best. So here's a few suggestions:
1. Completion tracking - Look at activities like Database. It would be great to be able to harness completion tracking more. For instance, a student must contribute to a collaborative document to mark as complete.
2. Grading - Make the document a graded activity. This could be set up for groups. Grading could be based on a rating system like Database. Or could grade students based on their contributions. Think about a way for a teacher to navigate through submissions. Not everything has to go through assignment. For instance, a document could be used as a Journal with 6 headings for 6 weeks and a teacher could drop in and give formative feedback. At the end of the module, the document becomes read only and is then graded.
3. Integration - work with BigBlueButton and Blackboard Collaborate. If either live video call could feature a doc during classes, it would mean students do not have to work in two separate windows. Butter.us is leading the way for this at the moment.
4. For non developers who want to play and use this, it would be amazing if we could have access to a working moodle site.
Thanks again for your contribution to the community and look forward to testing one day!
W resolved the problem. It had nothing to to with the plugin. It was an invalid server-certificate of our Moodle4 test server. We copied the VM of the server to test the new version and did not renew the certificate.
Thanks and regards
We already had the Plugin Version v4.0_6.4 and after upgrading to Moodle 4.1+ and to the new Plugin Version v4.1_7.1 (2022120300) the beaviour is still the same. It is working under 3.11.11+ but not under 4.1+
We use onlyoffice version: 7.2.1-34
The Document Server Secret is empty.
@Peter Eipert
You have to upgrade the plugin to the most recent version - v4.0_6.4 (2022043000)
@Peter Eipert
I tested the plugin on Moodle 4.1 and Onlyoffice 7.1 and it works correctly.
What version of Onlyoffice are you using?
Also, can you check that the Document Server Secret is set correctly in the ONLYOFFICE Document plugin configuration in Moodle.
In Moodle 4.1 we get a warning and an error messages opening an OnlyOfffice document.
First the warning appears:
"The document could not be saved. Please check the connection settings or contact your administator. When you click the 'OK' button, you will be prompted to download the document.
Shortly after the warning the error message appears:
Download failed.
Press "OK" to return to document list.
In Moodle 3.11.11+ the same plugin version is working properly with exactly the same document.
