Moodle, LDAP and SIMS.net

[addid]

Hi

I have just followed the Moodle, LDAP and SIMS.net (obviously wrongly somewhere) and we have no users being created!!

 

My platform is 2 x Windows 2003 Virtual machines. Moodle/AD on one SIMS/MSSQL2005 on the other.

 

Have created an AD structure of OU=Students,OU=Year 7 OU=Students,OU=Year 8 etc etc.

 

Many thanks for any ideas

All sorted.

For anyone that gets a similar problem:

 

You need to get the AD structure correct as per the script or modify the script.

 

Brilliant, onto the next problem now.

 

FYI

Loving it so far. We are currently using an internal Sharepoint based VLE but due to licensing costs, the LEA selling themselves to RM and the extortionate price of Capita WebParts look firmly on our way to Moodle....

Getting further.

 

Have now added in sims.net timetable module and getting empty timetables?

 

Also noticed the employeeid is not being populated when the user is being created using sims2ad.vbs. So have manually updated a few students to test.

 

Any pointers would be appreciated.

hi addid,

 

i am about but very very limited over next couple of days.

 

i take it you have a moodle install? I have rewritten the vbs to be a moodle block, and the config is now though a gui.

 

I have also updated the SIMS.net timetable to have a GUI config, i just need to zip up and release.

 

this should help with the setup as it auto installs the views.

 

can you expand of the problem with the users?

Hi Penfold,

thanks for replying.

 

I have moodle/AD running on 1 virtual win2003

SIMS/SQL on another.

 

Have followed your guide, made a couple of changes to the script and now have fully populated OU's in AD. Including the employee id fields etc.

 

Have unzipped and placed the simstimetable files into the web folder

 

When we log a student in they get a timetable link, when we click it we just get empty timetables?

 

Not sure how the timetable data comes acrossed? or if it is being read live? If live then assuming I have got connection details wrong somewhere?

 

No major rush as I am out again today but any help would be good when you get a minute.

Thanks again

Hi Penfold,

still trying to get the timetables to appear.

 

Have removed original simstimetable block and sql view. Ran your new version and get the simestimetable installation successful message. However the view has not been recreated?

 

Are there any access logs being generated anywhere. Get the feeling its the connection to SQL but not sure how to check it?

@addid

 

to force the sql view generation you will nee to increment a number.

 

in block_simstimetable.php there is a version number if you increment the last digit by one and then do the same in the db\upgrade.php in the if statement, this will force the sql view to be created.

 

i will look into the auto install function.

not had a chance to look at this yet - but will try and get round to it this week after I've sorted out deployment images and VPNs
