Thanks for the replies guys. I've tried installing Mahara but ran into difficulties since it's designed for Linux. Elgg looks awesome but again it's Linux only. Are there any similar platforms to these that will run on Windows Server 2003?? I was also thinking of creating the ePortfolios within Moodle. To do this I could setup a course category called 'ePortfolios' and within this category creat a course for each student. The course would then effectively act as their ePortfolio where they could upload files, add text, images etc. Theoretically this would work. Can anyone see any problems with this or any suggestions on how to organise it. Cheers, Nick

Hi, I've setup Moodle with our school which many staff and students have begun to use. One drawback though is that each student doesn't have an area within moodle to upload files, create text, blog etc Everything a student uploads or writes is related to a specific course, asignment or activity. Is there a platform (like Moodle i.e that I can download and install on our webserver) that will allow each student to login and have access to there own mini-site where they can create links, blogs, posts and upload files to create an online e-portfolio of their work. It would also be great if teachers could login and post comments giving the students feedback. I've had a look at wordpress but the problem is that for each student I would need to install a seperate instance of wordpress rather than them merely having their own login and area. The features I need are: - be able to run in windows server 2003 running IIS6, PHP and MYSQL 5 - be able to authenticate users usings active directory using LDAP - users to create their own links, posts and upload files What I would like: - some integration with Moodle - users to post comments on each others articles Cheers, Nick

Thanks guys. I'll have a look adLDAP and see if I can figure it out. I'm using PHP on IIS. The home page is heavily reliant on PHP so unfortunately ASP isn't an option. Could there be a way to do it with javascript??

Hi, our website uses the users Active Directory details to login to the school website using php and ldap. Is it possible to get the users AD username that they used to login to the networked PC with and pass it as a variable to log them into the website. Cheers, Nick

I've added images of 'post-it notes' for the course categories, thanks again Simon. Can someone cast a critical eye over the frontpage and give me some feedback. I'm not a very good judge of my own work The site is Lordswood Girls' Virtual Learning Environment

Nice solution, thanks. I'll give it a go

Hi, Is it possible to represent the top level course categories on the front page of moodle with an image rather than having a text list of categories? Cheers, Nick

Thanks guys. Got it working. I think the problem was that I set the environment variable to C:/PHP. I copied the php.ini file to C:/WINDOWS and it seemed to sort it. Don' really know why that should've caused a problem but it's working now:)

Hi, I have setup an IIS webserver and installed PHP using these instructions (How to install PHP 5.x on Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6) I followed the instructions exactly but the webserver wont load .php files giving the error message: HTTP Error 401.5 - Unauthorized: Authorization failed by an ISAPI/CGI application. Internet Information Services (IIS) (see http://www.lordswoodgirls.co.uk/test.php) I typed php -v in the command prompt and got the message: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.LORDSWOODGIRLS>php -v PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: May 2 2008 18:02:07) Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies Which, I assume, shows that PHP is successfully installed on the computer but for some reason the IIS webserver doesn't know what to do with php files. Could someone please help with this problem. I'm at a complete loss. Thanks
