Hi,
Success! Php.ini in the moodle login folder resolved the issue.

Let me summarise, perhaps someone can use this experience: All problems came from the xmlrpc availability. Xmlrpc came with a php.ini file, containing “extension = xmlrpc.so “ and extension_dir information.

This file is now within the following folders (not sure if it is really needed everywhere):
/joomla
/joomla/administrator
/joomla/moodle
/joomla/moodle/admin
/joomla/moodle/mnet/xmlrpc
/joomla/moodle/login

Green light for “XMLRPC PHP Extension” in the health-check does not necessarily mean, that xmlrpc is available for all Joomdle functionality.

Configuration: PHP 5.2.13, Joomla 1.5.25, Moodle 1.9.16, Joomdle 0.7

One minor issue: If you select the mycourses menu type and “COM_JOOMDLE_GROUP_BY_CATEGORY = Yes” as parameter, in the result view the course categories come in an unordered list (not in the moodle sequence).

Hi Antonio,
Everything else is green, I ignored the message, but now I have a strange situation and dont know if is related to the error message.

Logging in a Joomdle user to moodle, this gives me a blank page - nothing happens.

Logging in a Joomdle user to Joomla, the URL mysite.com/moodle/auth/joomdle/land.php?username=yakin&token=aa11fa8ad0646de3a6027c496ec5d5e3&use_wrapper=0&create_user=0&wantsurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsfe3e.de%2F is generated, the page is empty. When I now close the tab, open the front page again - the user is logged in to Joomla. No link to Moodle is working.

Any idea if this is coming from the message configuration or if perhaps the php.ini should be copied to even more folders?
The health check at least doesn't help here.
If you want I send you access to my page per mail.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,
I know that this has been discussed here several times, but I have to come back to the error message "empty response from Moodle". My local configuration with xampp is running fine, but installing Joomdle at server side I receive the message. I understand, this is mostly coming from a misconfigured moodle URL in joomdle configuration. That is not the reason here!

What is interesting: I can configure joomdle on the server to access my local moodle installation via Dyndns without getting the error message.
I contacted my hoster and he told me, there is nothing locked on his side. Looking to possible htaccess restrictions, I can find htaccess files only in the dirs:
joomla/dmdocuments, joomla/moodle/lib, joomla/administrator/components/com_akkeba/backup, joomla/moodle/mod/wiki/ewiki/fragments

Could anyone of these cause the connection problem? (As you see moodle is a subdir of joomla)

One difference I see: on the server I have additional php.ini files to get xmlrpc running:
extension_dir = /usr/local/lib/php_modules/5-STABLE
extension = xmlrpc.so

Any other ideas?

Another question concerning the "CJ DEPRECATED ERRORS ON" message: My server php version is 5.2.13 (local 5.2.8) As far as I know deprecated errors came up with php version 5.3. Locally I work with "error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE" without getting errors.
I tried with to change the error-reporting to E_Error (=1), phpinfo in joomla gives me the according information, but the error remains.

My configuration: joomla 1.5.25, moodle 1.9.16, joomdle 0.7

Hi Antonio,
thank you for sending me the enhanced joomdle version "0.8" including the feature to link directly to the moodle profile page of the registered user.

I just installed as described in the general documentation on both sides and got the additional option "Edit Moodle profile"
in the configuration of the menu item using joomdle wrapper.
This menu item opens the moodle profile page directly in the wrapper.

This means: fast and helpful assistance, no problems, requirements fulfilled!

I tested with xampp 1.7.0, Joomla 1.5.25, Moodle 1.9.16. and without further redirection features or additional plugins.

Great!

Hi Antonio,
Thanks!

Yes, I would like to test and send you an email. I installed the redirect-first-login-plugin (version 1.5.2) but found no description how to access.

Please tell me, when you mail the copy.

A lot of questions! Let me start this way:
In joomla we have public content such as class schedule information, forms to contact the school office etc, only very few content is restricted to registered users only. In moodle we have course specific content which should be available only to course members. This means at the end, students go to joomla for general purposes, in general their only reason to login in joomla is to go to moodle later (or they directly start moodle).
Starting a school year I generate (not reused) userids, startup passwords (birthdate, should be changed, change unfortunately can not be enforced (?!)) und a not existing mail address in the format <username>@<domain> for new students and upload to both systems. By this, only scenario 3 is applicable for my situation, all uploaded users are always activated.

In moodle you can switch the profile information "Email activated" between "This email address is enabled" and "This email address is disabled". If the address is enabled, all messages sent to the user inside moodle are forwarded to the Email address of the profile; if the address is disabled, the user only gets a popup when he is entering moodle the next time. At upload time this switch is set to "This email address is disabled" to avoid sending mails to Nirvana.
Entering moodle for the first time, the student should a) replace <username>@<domain> by his correct mail address and b) switch to "This email address is enabled" to receive moodle messages by mail. When users change their Email address in joomla, for my understanding only step a) is supported by joomdle, step b) is not. To be honest, I have not checked 3rd party tools, but I doubt if they give support. Correct me, when I’m wrong!

I hope, this make my question a bit clearer.
My idea was only, to direct the joomla users after login to the moodle “edit profile” page to make the needed changes.

Hi,
based on your advice, I now implemented successfully the synchronisation between new registered users based on bulk uploads to moodle and joomla with not encrypted start-up passwords.

However, students should maintain their user data in moodle. Logging in to joomla for the first time, it would be great to forward them directly to the “edit profile” page in moodle or to offer a link in joomla to this page.
I found no suitable joomdle plugin to use, although joomdle internally certainly knows the “moodle id number” of the user. Is it possible to have overlooked a feature? Is there any proposal for a workaround?
Thanks for your help!
