Shared Resource

Hi
Is it working with the Moodle 3.9?

Hi Valery, I'd like to ask you help: after installing core mod from github zip (3.6 stable) to my moodle 3.6, the admin page shows the error
"Exception - Call to undefined function sharedresources_has_capability_somewhere()"
My moodle is a standard one, no special addons installed - how can I resolve/fix this fatal error ?

At his moment, sharedresource is better to be installed on an existing moodle rather than installing from scratch a codebase with sharedresource inside. There is a race run issue because sharedresource needs an important setting to be defined (the metadata schema standard to be used, and this has infliuence on the metadata settings, so we need this setting being quesitonned about at install time so the sharedresource library is correctly setup. The egg and chicken circular reference has not been properly solved yet.)

after a quick review there are some little changes that would fix the module for 3.2. you may get lastest code on https://github.com/vfremaux/moodle-mod_sharedresource . Note that all permissions and key capabilties for controlling the sharedresource central angine have been setup in the repository_sharedresources plugin. At this time, this repository doesn't work and i'm lacking time (and budget to spend on it) to go further. Although the plugin is important to be installed to get the capabilities setup in moodle.
you may also check you have local_sharedresources and block_sharedresources installed to get all the parts of the feature.

Ok many thanks for replying so quickly Valery - I look forward to being able to use it!

hi paul, the plugin has been at the moment provisionned to the 3.2 branch for integration and upgrade tests. We did not stat yet full range testing as the code is being reviewed for Moodle Standards compatibility, and it takes some .... time. We have some customers that gave us roadmap to get it in their running instances, with an actual target date of September...

Has anyone got this working in 3.2? It seems t install ok, and all the form options show up, but whenever I try to add a Shared resource (as site admin) I'm told I don't have permission at the metadata stage of the process. Is this an error caused by version incompatibility or am I missing something from the setup? We could really do with using this plugin as we have a large collection of resources that apply to many of our courses.
Many thanks,
Paul

Hello,
May I ask the community for any updated and stable release of the plugin "Shared Resources package", for Moodle 3.0+, in order to be added as block on the default dashboard.
Thanks a lot for the support.

Actually this is an unprepared state of the plugin for version 2.5 and over that are much more tricky wioth forms strictness. Fixes for forms will be pushed in 2.5 Git branch on http://www.github.com/vfremaux in sharedresource reference repositories....

One more. When I click on the Add a Shared Resource button, I getthe following messages with debugging turned on:

Hi Valery,
I recently installed this plugin on Moodle 2.6. When I add a Shared Resource activity to a course, I get the following messages when debugging is on:

If you have a chance to address these issues, it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot for a quick reply, which solved the initial problem. I'm having some trouble getting it to work, though. When I go to Plugins > Repositories > Sharedresources Library I get a blank page and cannot configure. Is there a manual somewhere online I can consult?
Best,
Jens

Hi Jens,
All what you have to do is to go to global settings for this plugin, edit the configuration and go to the bottom and choose a metadata plugin (LOM, as all other are french implementations for french education)
One you do that, you will be redirected to a gig array of checkbox for choosing what attribute need to be used and for whom.
I confess there is a bit silly achitecture in this setting and error catch as might perturbate the install and global update process. I will work on it soon.
Cheers !

Dear all,
Our programmer has just upgraded our Moodle to 2.5 and installed the Shared Resources plugin. When he tried to configure the plugin he got the following error message: "Metadata cannot be configured as no plugin is activated as schema." It would be great if someone could help us out here as we are uncertain about what to do!
Best,
Jens

Hello,
this plugin is very useful!
What about a 2.5 version?
I was trying it and found a few problems so made a fork and some patches: https://github.com/danielneis/moodle-mod_sharedresource/tree/MOODLE_25_STABLE
hope you like.
kind regards,
Daniel
