Not in a way that is useful to reduce file duplication. But using H5P as linked files from the H5P content bank will reduce duplication of images inside the H5P files. Probably the best thing to do is go through all your pages in each course and remove extra images/files that are not used and make sure you optimise your images before uploading. czcams.com/video/2h7rMBHNpKQ/video.html

@@Ricoshae Thank you so much. Got my work cut out, then!

Great question. It should happen automatically when the CRON runs in the background. This can take some time depending on the server and when the task is set to run. It will not appear straight away though. Has it updated the weighting since you made the changes?

@@Ricoshae Thanks for the reply Rocoshae! No. The weighting is still the same. 😕

Just confirming that you have subscribed to the rule and that the emails did not go to a spam folder?

I don't know of any way to update all courses settings as a bulk change, so you would need to manually set each course up. But for new courses, create a template course with all the settings ready to go and this will save you having to set everything up every time you create a new course.

@@Ricoshae Thanks Chris, is that through course default settings or is there a plugin that specifically addresses templates?

@@deanstakos5935 You can just create a course and put it in a category and call the category templates, then copy the course when needed as Moodle now has a copy course function. Prior to the copy course function, there was a course template plugin but I don’t think it had any additional features.

This saves you worrying about course default settings but you can set these too as an administrator.

Yes, you can. In the Administration section. You go to Language > Language customisation > Edit language pack. Choose all the files under core in the list. Then search for 'This course requires' It will show 'paymentrequired' as the language string. Beside this you can then enter your own version of the text and save, update the language file which then gives you your text instead. For the Paypal log, this might be a bit more complicated. The only suggestion is to use CSS to add the Font awesome icon to a class on the payment page. This may need a video to explain the process.

Thanks ​@@Ricoshaefor replying. After 3-4 hours of struggle, I was able to figure it out and was able to change the text which appears on the button. Here is my situation, I am using PayPal and Stripe both the plugins. So for any particular course learners will be able to see both the payment options. But at the moment it's quite messy and not clearly distinguishable. I will be waiting for your video about using the logo with custom CSS. Many thanks

@VikasJha001 Well done updating the text. Once you know how the language file changes works it becomes easier to make the updates. Just to clarify, you would like the logo on this screen? czcams.com/video/6KUIN6IJMmE/video.htmlsi=NNmdODhgKDRBjYrT&t=279 or on the previous screen where the button is on the "Slect payment type' button? here czcams.com/video/6KUIN6IJMmE/video.htmlsi=RtuDCIzGD2yx-nK6&t=274

​@@Ricoshae Thanks Rocoshae for replying again! I would like the logo on the front page itself where it says select payment type. At the moment I am able to make the changes but I had to modify entol/index.html So if there is some easier way, I would love to explore.

I have been testing some ideas. One simple thought I had is to add this to to your theme CSS. Assuming you have fontawesome on your server, it will show both Stripe and PayPal icons. enrol_fee_payment_region button:before { font-family: FontAwesome; content: "\f1f5 \f1f4"; font-weight: 400; font-size: x-large; vertical-align: middle; }

No problem at all. I am so pleased this was useful for you. Thank you.

Thank you. That would be cool :)

Glad it helped. Thank you.

Is it ok if the results don't get stored in Moodle but can be used as a self assessment activity? Also, could you provide an example of what would be in the form and how it would work?

It is a self assessment activity. I don't want to receive someone's result. The person is that is giving it can only see the result. I want it to give a different score for each option. It is actually a mental health survey website that I'm trying to make. So, for example a question is "When was the last time you cried?" Options were A. Recently B. Not too long ago C: Very Long ago. So I want to give someone 1 point on choosing C option and 0.5 on choosing B but no points on choosing A. Is it possible with HTML and Javascript? If so, could you make a tutorial?

Awesome and yes, it is very possible. I think I did something similar a while ago. i will look up the code and get back to you.

@@Ricoshae thanks 💜

I am not sure if this is what you meant, but hopefully it will help. czcams.com/video/wwX9yKuMGk4/video.html

Hi @VikasJha001 This may take a little while to put together but I think it could be really useful. I will give it a go over the next few weeks and see if i can make it work successfully.

Thank you.

This is most likely because your local machine doesn't have a way of sending mail from it to send the notification. This usually means installing an SMTP server on your localhost.

Sorted with the class tag. rounded added and fluid removed.

Awesome.

Thank you.

Glad I could help

As far as I can see, it would have to be removed manually.

According to the specs you no longer need to use xlink. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href

Completely logical, but not everything in the Moodle world is always logical. I haven't seen any config option that will help with this, sorry.

It is a bit odd. The original purpose I think was to save your progress, location in the activity and then close the browser window. But it only seems to save your location or progress and not close the window.

If the restriction is set to a specific domain, then the the video must be embedded in that site or the user clicks on the link in that same domain to view the video. If you take the link out of that domain then the refer domain would be different so the video will not play.

Installing on local is the same as installing on any Moodle server. Just go to plugins in Admin and u;oad the plugin Zip file.

Glad to hear that. Thank you.

Did you work this out?

Definitely don’t need to uninstall everything. Are you able to go into the admin to switch back to a different theme?

@Ricoshae thank you. (I'm not a from CS/IT background, but your video was so much detailed that I was able to complete the installation. Keep up the good work).

Yes. That is correct. The /my page isn't related to a course. The '/my' page doesn't know if you are a teacher or a student as you are currently not in a course. It only knows that you are either a logged in user or a guest. This is a thing called context, which is a big part of how Moodle manages permissions. To put something on the 'my' page, you would need to create a custom plugin that shows each course you are in and what role you have for each course.

Thank you.

Yes, Add the string $string['plugintitle'] = 'Plugin title'; to the language file.Then in the block use. public function init() { $this->title = get_string('plugintitle', 'block_name'); }

Thank you very much. I am really pleased that you like the videos. I assume you mean the 'drag and drop onto image', which requires an image to position the elements. What you can do is use a transparent image as the background. This will allow the drag and drop content to position itself in relation to the image dimensions. Hope this helps.

You can download the whole Moodle site, just need to download the root folder, download the Moodle Data folder and also backup the SQL database. If you mean download all courses in a site, then as far as I know you need to download the courses individually.

@@Ricoshae thhank you. Yes, unfortunately, there is only the option to download the courses which, to be honest, are stored localy before uploading anyway. Finally the main trouble is to build a website exactly the same from scratch.

I am not sure if you can embed MKV. It is a format I haven't looked at so will need to do some research to see what might work.

Enable competencies needs to be turned on first by an admin. Then competencies need to be created in the admin section. Then you can add them to your course. I haven't put together a video on competencies yet because the competency process in Moodle needs some work. Hopefully there will be an update to the competency framework that makes it more user friendly soon.

@@Ricoshae I am the administrator, courses are enabled, competencies are created and when it comes to adding one, as soon as I select it, the add button goes off coloured and can't be clicked. Upon checking again, it still reads, NO competencies added yet....I can't understand why that may be. I was never puzzled like that before

Yes. The downloaded package can be uploaded to back into Moodle provided the versions match.

Where you able to change it back? I haven't tried the Arabic language yet. Do you need help changing it back?

Were you able to setup a subdomain rather than a folder under the main site?

@@Ricoshae Managed to fix it. Had to make a DNS entry in Namecheap, it worked after that.

Absolutely. I am keen to hear how you go with the API. github.com/ricoshae/sketchfabhideandshow

Sure. Go into the course. Select participants. Then select the drop down in the top left that has 'Enrolment methods'. One of the options here is self enrolment. This is where the enrolment key is placed along with other settings.

Only you as the feature is course dependent for the quiz. It is best to enrol the assessors as teachers in each course rather than as admins as this limits the emails to the courses they are a teacher in. For course completion it is a completely different process to send notifications. The easiest way to get an email on course completion sent to a teacher is to use the certificate function, which has the option of sending a copy to the teacher as well. I have also used the Event Filter plugin to do this. moodle.org/plugins/tool_trigger

You should backup all the Moodle files, the Moodledata folder and the Moodle database before attempting to upgrade. It is also very wise to run up a second server to test the upgrade process before running this on your live server. I would also suggest turning off the mail sending feature on your test server to make sure student don't receive notifications during the testing process. First step in upgrading from 3.8 is to upgrade to Moodle 3.9 using the Moodle upgrade guide.docs.moodle.org/39/en/Upgrading Then you can upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 docs.moodle.org/403/en/Upgrading Hope this helps.

Sorry. Not that I know of.

The only way I could do this from Articulate rise is to duplicate the course in Rise then manually remove the quizzes from the content then export the SCORM package. Not the best solution, but the quizzes in Rise are just part of the normal content. Unlike other LMS products where the quizzes are often separated.

Are you using the latest version of Moodle?

Sorry. Not that I know of in the boost theme. I have only been able to do this using a child theme.

Yes, there is a lot happening in the Moodle code so you do need to make sure you have plenty of CPU and memory to run Moodle especially when you have a lot of students accessing the platform. I'm not an expert in this area so I would definitely do more research if you plan to self host a live server.

You can bulk enrol existing students in other courses. In the upload process for Upload type, choose 'Update existing' or 'Add new and update existing'. This will use the current students profile and allow you to enrol them in multiple courses.

Yes of course! What help do you need?

Very easy to add. jsfiddle.net/ricoshae/w6c1bhnq/27/ Hope this helps

No problem.

Thank you.
