Hello Abdullah,

You may wish to look at Mahara 1.4 which will be out on a few days. It has many improvements over Mahara 1.2. If you are just starting out, I suggest, this may be better to base your developments on. I think that the Career and Development Plans are written only for Mahara 1.3 and ported to Mahara 1.4. That's why you may have problems.

Cheers

Hello Abdullah,

Sorry, I can't help you as I don't upgrade Mahara sites. I only recently started to work with some code in GIT.

Did you find the Upgrade Guide on the wiki at https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/System_Administrator%27s_Guide/Upgrading_Mahara ?

Cheers

Hi Kristine,

I saw your excellent presentation at iMoot , thanks and have a question about Mahara iPhone apps.

We have a number of users with iPhones and want them to be able to enter ongoing data into tables - either on blog posts or on uploaded excel files. (maybe better using tables in blog posts as will save reuploading files.

Experimented yesterday with the Bright Cookie app but it seems only to be useful for uploading images. Is that correct?

Can you tell me if there is a way for Mahara 1.4 users to add data to a blog post (ie edit it) using their iPhone?

Thanks and Regards

Katharine

Hello Katharine,

Thank you for having attended the iMoot session and for exploring the mobile use of Mahara.

PortfolioUp only supports the upload of images. As Catalyst IT is not involved in this app development, I can't tell you whether the developers wish to expand the functionality at some point. You could get in touch with Kien Vu (forum thread on their iPhone app at http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=3452 ), one of the developers.

You should be able to write and update a blog post on the iPhone directly using the Internet browser. Admittedly, it's a bit small and cumbersome, especially when you want to fill in a table, but it should work.

On Tuesday I gave a workshop on Mahara, and one of the teachers used her iPhone the entire time. She could do everything her colleagues on the computer could do.

Cheers

Kristina
