Yes, I probably should. It may be a bit confusing, though, that there's already a Mahara assignment submission plugin up, from Tony Box: https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=assignsubmission_mahara

Hi Aaron,

I'm worried now that you have highlighted the existance of the plugin by Tony Box. Have we (UC) been using a different plugin? Which one is "officially" supported by the community? Is it just that they happened to be developed in parrallel or did they know about each other?

IMHO There should be one plugin supported by MoodleHQ, Catalyst and the community.

It's obvious that otherwise efforts and funds are divided and we end up with different versions that are recourced starved, as with so many other open source projects.

Cheers.

Secondarily, which plugin should we work with for the LTI work?

Hello Shane,

The specifications that we had put forward so far for the LTI work was based on the functionality of the "original" Mahara assignment submission plugin which is the one that Ruslan and we have been working on and extended so far. Although once completed, it should also be able to be applied to Tony's plugin as the mechanics of connecting to Moodle would still be the same I assume.

Cheers

Thanks Kristina,

I guess my main line of thought has two main threads right now.

1) Will doing the LTI work now, before integrating the two plugins, result in wasted effort. Based on your comments the answer would be no, so thats good.

2) Rather than going forward with "enhancing" Ruslans' plugin as per the current quote - it seems to make more sense to merge the features of Tonys' code instead - ontop of Ruslans' code base that you (Catalyst) are already working with.

What are your thoughts on 2)?

Thanks.

Shane.

Hello Shane,

As mentioned off-forum, Aaron will take a look at the feasibility of merging the code.

Hi All, not sure if this is the correct place to put this but we have strict standards enabled in our development environment to ensure coding quality and the Mahara assignment plugin is throwing out the following:

Strict Standards: Declaration of assign_submission_mahara::lock() should be compatible with that of assign_submission_plugin::lock() in /m0/moodle/mod/assign/submission/mahara/locallib.php on line 741 Strict Standards: Declaration of assign_submission_mahara::unlock() should be compatible with that of assign_submission_plugin::unlock() in /m0/moodle/mod/assign/submission/mahara/locallib.php on line 741

We're running Moodle 2.6. I've added $flags to the lock and unlock methods (since the default methods have that) but it hasn't removed the message.

Cheers,

Scott

Hello Scott,

Are these warnings in the plugin from the Moodle plugin database or the one from https://github.com/catalyst/assignsubmission_mahara ?

Cheers

Hi Kristina,

The errors are being generated by Moodle with the https://github.com/catalyst/assignsubmission_mahara add-in installed.

Cheers,
