Etherpad Lite

Yes. My error was that I was testing with an old link to etherpad. I have finally understood that the group is created when you add the etherpad to a course. So I created a new pad and everything was ok. Thanks for your attention.

Hi Frédéric, as I can see in github, you could solve your problem by your self. Is that right?

Well, I stuck with an error : error/could not create etherpad session
I use etherpad lite 2.5.0 I have setup an apikey and authentication is fine.
I run etherpad lite with docker-compose (from etherpad lite) I have added :
AUTHENTICATION_METHOD: "apikey"
REQUIRE_SESSION: "true"
EDIT_ONLY: "true"
in the docker-compose.yml file
What is maybe a problem :
the etherpad is hosted in a machine which name is etherpad.internal.dom.tld but I connect to it thru a nginx with the url etherpad.externaldom.tld
The moodle instance is in the same case.
I have setup the cookie domain to externaldom.tld and I have tried internal.dom.tld but none of the two seems to have an effect.
When I watch at cookies in browser they are either at moodle.externaldom.tld or externaldom.tld.
Does somebody has an idea on what could go wrong ?
Thanks in advance

If you want to use apikeys with Etherpad-lite Version 2.. then this must in the settings.json
/*
The authentication method used by the server.
The default value is sso
If you want to use the old authentication system, change this to apikey
*/
"authenticationMethod": "${AUTHENTICATION_METHOD:apikey}",

Hallo all,
Just WE have Problem with Plugin " could Not get API Version" where can i find this API Version?

I was able to get rid of the error message "Could not get api version". so now I can create a pad in Moodle, however I cannot access it within Moodle.
The error message I get is "pad.igmetall-moodle.de has refused the connection."
Best regards
Guido

Untill Version 2021073000 the Etherpad Plugin worked for us. In newer Versions we got the Error: Could not get api version
Now I debugged a little bit and found out, that in the file
etherpadlite\classes\client.php in the function get_version() the
$url = $this->baseurl;
ends with
/api
and not with
/api/
what leads to an Etherpad instead of the JSON. After adding the missing slash with the following code it works for us:
if(!(substr_compare($url, "/", -1) === 0)){
$url.="/";
}

I love Etherpad. How do I get the API key or host?

Hi Eugene, please use the forum (https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=44) for this sort of question. This area is for comments only.
Thank you!

My students and I started getting errors on EtherPad after I updated to Moodle 3.8.3+ (Build: 20200527), the Etherpad plugin for Moodle version 2019013100, and Etherpad Lite server to 1.8.5. We cannot open an etherpad. The problem is unpredictable but it appears when 20-30 users access an etherpad embedded in Moodle at the same time. Here is a typical error message:
ErrorId: 4wNmhAZ2hYo9zBrq1xHb
URL: https://myaddress:9001/p/g.NfRQhXclxTNNzHYW$DiaMoodle
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0
TypeError: $sidedivinner is undefined in https://myaddress:9001/static/js/require-kernel.js?v=c4855223 line 1 > Function at line 5
We do not have a problem when we use Etherpad directly without Moodle.
I never had this problem before with previous versions of Moodle, plugin, or Etherpad Lite Server. Any ideas what cases it and how I can resolve it, please?
PS I set minify to false and AgeMax to 0 in settings.json of Etherpad Lite Server. It seems to help a bit but not completely...

Hi David,
Thanks for the question. But could you please use the right place for your questions?
If you have questions like this you can post them in the general plugins forum (https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=44).

Hello dear community,
We upgraded our Moodle to 3.5 and hoped that Etherpad 2.7 would still work. But we get the following error when creating an activity:
Empty or no response from the server
The apache log:
Database transaction aborted automatically in /srv/www/htdocs/moodle/course/modedit.php, referer: ...
Default exception handler: Error: Empty or No Response from the server Debug: \ nError code: generalexceptionmessage \ n * line 107 of /mod/etherpadlite/etherpad-lite-client.php: UnexpectedValueException thrown \ n * line 60 of / mod / etherpadlite / etherpad-lite-client.php: call to EtherpadLiteClient-> call () \ n * line 148 of /mod/etherpadlite/etherpad-lite-client.php: call to EtherpadLiteClient-> post () \ n * line 62 of /mod/etherpadlite/lib.php: call to EtherpadLiteClient-> createGroup () \ n * line 124 of /course/modlib.php: call to etherpadlite_add_instance () \ n * line 154 of /course/modedit.php: call to add_moduleinfo () \ n, referer: ...
If we call Etherpad directly and not via the Moodle plug-in, it works. Our assumption that Etherpad-lite 2.7 for 3.5 is not compatible seems to be confirmed.
Did anyone get Etherpad Lite running at 3.5?
Are there plans to further develop Etherpad Lite for Moodle 3.5?
Excuse me if my english is bad. The Google translator helped.
Best regards,
Egor

Hello Eugene, we're glad to hear that the problem wasn't a persistent and generic ep problem and at least is solved

Update on the "Exception - Empty or No Response from the server" error. With the help of our IT colleagues, I found problems with my DNS settings on my network adapter card. Also, IPv6 causes problems as well and has to be disabled on my network adapter. Etherpad works. The problem is solved.
