Hi David, this is an issue with Moodle that as far as I know has yet to be resolved. It does not resolve the plugin's display name properly from the language file. Actually it does seem odd that this issue still exists .. so I might have missed some sort of memo. In the docs on this page, I mention this briefly. I will paste it here for reference:
Moodle doesn't completely handle language strings for 3rd party database fields well. So you should add these strings to the bottom of [site_root]/mod/data/lang/en/data.php
$string['poodll'] = 'PoodLL';
$string['namepoodll'] = 'PoodLL';
If you skip this step however, the sky won't fall in. It will just look a bit odd when Moodle tries to display the name of the database field.
In the new moodle v3.0.3 having an issue when adding a new field. In the drop down menu, I see " [ [ pluginname ] ] " instead of Poodll. I've reinstalled the newest version of the plugin, 1.2.6. How do I change it so it displays as Poodll instead of " [ [ pluginname ] ] " ?
Well I would try a bit of disabling, testing and re enabling of the different filters. The usual suspects are the glossary and auto linking filters. If the URL is public, send me a message/mail and perhaps I can look at it.
Best to keep these support style discussions in the PoodLL forum really: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=1189
Hi Justin,
No worries, it was the season smile
We do have multimediaplugins enabled, but we separate the formats between the plugins (Mulimedia takes care of Flash and MP3 because we have those also from other sources).
Thanks, Linda. I fixed that and posted it just now.
Paul. Gosh I am sorry I did not get back to you. I did test it but could not find any issue. I still suspect the filter is not enabled, or there is a conflict between it and another filter (multimedia plugins?)
Hi Justin,
The version field is in version.php twice with the end result that version is still 201406200
Hi Justin,
Yes, we have. The other Poodle plugins (assign submission and feedback and Poodll everywhere) function well.
Sorry for the slow reply. Can you confirm that you have installed and enabled the PoodLL filter?
Hi Justin,
In our Moodle 2.5.9 with Poodle data field plugin version 1.2.5 MP3 recording works, but there is a bug in the embedding of the recording. The codes shows as {POODLL:type=audio,path=https%3A%2F%2Fmoodle.... etc. Do you have any suggestion as to a solution? I suppose I can't install an older version, because Moodle will claim the database cannot go back to an earlier version.
