Joomdle and Moodle connection problem? was created by polished
I'm new to Joomdle and Moodle and think I might be simply overlooking something obvious, but I uploaded Moodle to the directory cloudaccess.net told me to, then went back into my Joomdle Control Panel and into Configure to add the URL (site.cloudaccess.net/moodle). However, nothing happened. I tried switching the log in method to child registration and a couple of the courses parts of Joomdle, but all I got were sign in forms that then took me to nothing.

Baiscally, can someone help me understand how to set this up so my students can get to the front page of Moodle so they can log in? Are post a link for me that instructs me how to do this in cloudaccess.net or in general? :blink:

Oh. I guess I need to set up Moodle first to get the IP and the token, but how do I do that in cloudaccess.net? Anyone know? they don't do 3rd party support. Wondering if I should just go with a separate hosting company for the Moodle and link that way.

Really sorry to say we do not have any experience with cloudaccess.net. That said, I don't think it would be too much different.

Personally, I would not worry about integrating Joomla and Moodle until you have a little more experience. Why not setup locally first? Its faster and potentially less problems?

It is a local set up. I'm familiar with Moodle and have used it for a couple years; my tutors are familiar with it too, so it's the perfect platform to set it all up on. Just have to get a separate hosting platform for the moodle and integrate with Joomdle that way. :o/

To clarify, I set up Moodle on a university hosting service so had the support to ensure it was a seemless transition. All I need it to find a host for it and I can do the rest. Thanks.

So now I am confused by what you are seeking help with. I have deleted your other thread about cloudaccess as you are also discussing it here.

I suggest first you establish yourself with a host that supports xmlrpc or do everything locally first. Let us know when you need help with a specific problem.

I figured it this out without any one's help 3-4 days ago. Gotta say, the responses kind of came off as patronizing and not remotely close to helpful. That whole making assumptions about a person-thing wasn't exactly helpful commentary. And they whole post when you have a problem thing? Totally rude. I clearly HAD a problem, one you weren't able to address, yet was CLEARLY a problem to me.

And as I mentioned above, I figured it out. It turned out that it was an issue with Joomdle (something about creating a key and some other identifier within the permissions that would connect Joomdle to Moodle). Once I understood what those things were/are, I was able to locate the information I needed reasonably easily. Therefore, it WAS a problem with which Joomdle could have helped me, since it involved Joomdle needing or requesting certain set-up information from Moodle.

Thanks for .... hmmmm....

Sorry if you feel that we were rude to your posts. That said, please read back and you will see I have answered your two questions. Perhaps the problem lies in your problem reporting.

At no time have you mentioned an error message, just how to get a token in the cloudaccess environment. Getting a token, is clearly stated in the installation instructions and I informed you that it is not likely to be different in your environment. Furthermore, if there is a token problem then such would have been stated in the system health check.

Now back to your comment that we have not provided helpful responses. Your only error reporting is "nothing happened". Furthermore you specifically asked for instructions in cloudaccess - thus naturally our response will be related to your specific question which is we do not have experience with cloudaccess as I doubt you you were looking for general Joomdle instructions since there is a Documentation link in the main menu. I further said, that it is not likely to be any different and thus not likely to be the cause of your problem, which again was never defined.

You then went on to say your issue was that you needed to find a host and thus the logical response would be to ensure that your host supports xmlrpc which is the number one issue associated with hosting.

As for your final post, I have no idea what you are talking about when you say "making assumptions about a person-thing". Again, please read back, I have not used the word "person" or "thing" in any of my posts above. And while you may have had a clear problem, you certainly were not clear in defining what your problem was.

Now for being useful or not ....
- you have not provided any error message nor have you described your problem
- you have not provided joomdle, moodle or joomla version information
- you say that you are new to joomdle and moodle (thus my comment to try locally first) and then later say you are experienced with moodle
- you say you have a problem with cloudaccess and then say you just need to get a new host
- you say you are hosting in cloudaccess so I tell you to try locally than you say you are doing it locally

In summary, clearly just a case of calling the kettle black.
