Thanks beesax - I found the source code on the Moodle page I needed to log in, then inserted a HTML/Text widget, cut and paste in and worked fine. Didnt have to do the Global Config stuff.

Hi all, We have developed a new front end website to replace Moodle as a front end leaving it totally geared towards learning and teaching. I would like a students/teachers to see a log in block in wordpress that logs them into moodle and opens a new browser window... is there HTML code I could put into a text block in Wordpress? Cheers, Matt

do you have the link for this module? is it the one from the ossett school? would you be able to screenshot some of your screens please? matt.marson @ stuart-bathurst.org.uk

Thanks Kealey - I have looked at this but the functionality at the moment only allows for groups of students to be bought over from CMIS and course creation I believe - I don't think it brings over attendance information, behaviour events, grades, courses etc.

Cheers - thats a great help!

Hi Mic I'm not a particularly technical person in all honesty, the organisation we are working with have integrated Moodle with SIMS without hassle. In theory the data in the database is the property of the school and therefore access to it is not prohibited. I am beginning to think that the 'complex' or messy structure of the tables is by no way incidental but another measure to claw more money from schools. We have already signed up for a customised Moodle support package and a further £3,500 to become a Serco 'partner' seems extortionate! In theory, we pay you £3,500 and then you tell us where the data is stored in the database? This leaves us in somewhat of a dilemma - with the only 'easy' solution being to revert back to SIMS where we have LA support and the integration has already proved successful - this would be a shame as so much work has gone in (on our part and money spend on consultancy) to making Facility CMIS work beyond the odds... very dissatisfied with Serco's support with this project.

hi john We are using Moodle as our Learning Platform and have enlisted the support of the University of London Computer Centre to develop an ILP and ePortfolio (Mahara). We are currently trying to get data out of Facility CMIS SQL database to display in Moodle for parents, students and staff. The data we would need access would be a range of things: - Student details - Lessons or Courses (set lists for automatic creation of courses) - Student Behaviour Events - Student Attendance (AM PM roll call) - Student Timetable - Staff Timetable - Assessment data (from assessment tracker - eg. 6 data tracks throughout the year and a target grade) - Results (SATs, Teacher Assessments, GCSEs) I'm sure there is more, but that is all I can think of at present... ULCC have managed to find some of the data and it is working in terms of functionality and appearing the in ILP... with so many tables, many without data its very time consuming. I have approached Serco for support with regards the database schema but they say they only support API.

I need help from anyone who knows a little (or lot) about the database structure of CMIS and where data in stored eg. in which tables... would anyone be able to assist with this?
