2006-08-07 - Editor working on production
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
The editor has been used succesfully to build
|
|
|
16 |
a bunch of install.xml files and everything
|
|
|
17 |
seems to be working properly.

2006-07-11 - PHP4 compatible release
|
|
|
22 |
|
|
|
23 |
Now everything seems to be working under PHP 4. What
|
|
|
24 |
a horrible OOP implementation!
|
|
|
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
Note that write permissions to */db dirs are required.
|
|
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 |
Now working in the 3 missing forms, to manually edit
|
|
|
29 |
fields, keys and indexes.

2006-07-11 - Important notes
|
|
|
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
I've just discovered this some seconds ago, in order
|
|
|
38 |
to test properly the XMLDB classes and editor:
|
|
|
39 |
|
|
|
40 |
1.- PHP 5 required for now. Will change this soon.
|
|
|
41 |
2.- Perms to "apache" user needed in */db
|
|
|
42 |
dirs in order to allow the XMDBD interface
|
|
|
43 |
to write files.

2006-07-11 - Initial commit
|
|
|
50 |
|
|
|
51 |
This directory contains the XMLDB classes to be used
|
|
|
52 |
under Moodle > 1.7 to store all the DB info in a
|
|
|
53 |
neutral form (classes dir). Also it contains one simple
|
|
|
54 |
interface to edit all those structures.
|
|
|
55 |
|
|
|
56 |
To install and test it, simply copy the whole xmldb directory
|
|
|
57 |
under your moodle/admin dir and point your browser (as admin)
|
|
|
58 |
to http://your.server/moodle/admin/xmldb
|
|
|
59 |
|
|
|
60 |
The edition interface isn't completed yet (it laks 3 more forms
|
|
|
61 |
to edit fields, keys and indexes) and there isn't any lang file
|
|
|
62 |
(although I hope everything is really clear).
|
|
|
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
The edition interface includes one reverse-engineering tool that
|
|
|
65 |
provides an easy way to retroffit and to generate any table from
|
|
|
66 |
MySQL to the new XMLDB format.
|
|
|
67 |
|
|
|
68 |
Once the XMLDB format was approved, we'll be able to build all the
|
|
|
69 |
"generators" needed in order to use it to create Moodle DB structures
|
|
|
70 |
for each RDBMS flavour.
|
|
|
71 |
|
|
|
72 |
Once the interface was finished (2-3 days from now) related documentation
|
|
|
73 |
will be sent to http://docs.moodle.org/en/XML_database_schema in order
|
|
|
74 |
to comment/modify/approve the final XML format.
|
|
|
75 |
|
|
|
76 |
All the code is, obviously GPL, with its copyrights and so on...
