CLEO MIS Integration Tool

[fiza]

Does anyone know if the CLEO MIS Tool is still valid? Found at Learning Platforms : MIS Import Tool : MIS Import Tool - Documentation and SIMS reports and at Moodle.org under downloads.

I have Moodle 1.9.7 on windows and have followed the instructions and got as far as applying the patches. Instead of having a new drop down called "MIS Uploads" under "Users" I get [[sectiontitle]].

Does anyone know where I have gone wrong or whether there is a better (still free) way to integrate SIMS with Moodle?

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
I am having the same problem but I am using Moodle 1.9.9 on Windows using the CLEO version 2 patches.
If you have any assistance as to how you overcame this, I would be very grateful!
Thanks!

I am in a CLEO school and it is definitely still maintained -worth asking on Moodle.org and Dan Poltawski who I believe made it is also on here from time to time. Incidentally, the [[sectiontitle]] ought not to stop it from working -that just means it hasn't found the language file (or something)but it doesn't mean it doesn't work necessarily.

@missdbus - No I didnt get any further with this and didnt get any replies. I have left it for now as other things have taken priority. someone else will be looking at this over the summer so if we get it right I will post back.

The fix to this problem is actually quite simple!
I am indebted to the person to spent time looking into this and inevitably now owe them beer!


The CLEO module is stored in moodle/local. Copy the file:

moodle/local/lang/en_utf8/cleo_mis.php

to the path:

moodle/lang/en_utf8/

As Secretlife said, all the problem is is that Moodle is not able to load in the correct language file so the strings are not being loaded in correctly, hence the odd variable names. Really, this could be added as the final step to setting up CLEO since it looks like Moodle has changed something?
