Sorry Alexander, I'm a bit stuck! Sandbox installed and configured, one course backup in moodledata/sandbox and I edited the course after taking the backup but it doesn't restore. Cron log shows:
Processing customized cron scripts ...Processing cron function for local_sandbox...
... started 10:00:13. Current memory use 124.3MB.
No need for restoring sandbox courses so far, let's wait for next cron run time, exiting...
Have I missed something else simple?
Thanks - Carol
Hi Alexander
Thanks very much and sorry for not acknowledging your reply - I expected to get an automatic email but must not have correct settings in my profile. The readme file is helpful - and of course it is there in the plugin files, so sorry I failed to find it! I will go play with it now. Thanks.
Dear Carol,
the purpose of the plugin is to programatically restore courses to predefined course states. It does _not_ create any sandbox course after installing, you have to do that yourself.
Please see the README file (https://github.com/moodleuulm/moodle-local_sandbox/blob/master/README.md) for details.
If you have any questions after reading, please let me know.
Alexander, this looks great. Pardon my ignorance but I can't find any documentation on using the plugin once it's installed. I've installed and configured. Now, where do I and my users go to actually play in our sandbox? thanks!
German, thank you for the translation!
Hi Alexander,
I just uploaded the mexican spanish translation of your sandbox add-on to AMOS in http://lang.moodle.org/.
I think it is a very useful plugin.
Aparup, thanks for the Moodle Hat award smile
