2006-08-07 - Editor working on production
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The editor has been used succesfully to build
|
||
|
|
a bunch of install.xml files and everything
|
||
|
|
seems to be working properly.

2006-07-11 - PHP4 compatible release
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now everything seems to be working under PHP 4. What
|
||
|
|
a horrible OOP implementation!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that write permissions to */db dirs are required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now working in the 3 missing forms, to manually edit
|
||
|
|
fields, keys and indexes.

2006-07-11 - Important notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've just discovered this some seconds ago, in order
|
||
|
|
to test properly the XMLDB classes and editor:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1.- PHP 5 required for now. Will change this soon.
|
||
|
|
2.- Perms to "apache" user needed in */db
|
||
|
|
dirs in order to allow the XMDBD interface
|
||
|
|
to write files.

2006-07-11 - Initial commit
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory contains the XMLDB classes to be used
|
||
|
|
under Moodle > 1.7 to store all the DB info in a
|
||
|
|
neutral form (classes dir). Also it contains one simple
|
||
|
|
interface to edit all those structures.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install and test it, simply copy the whole xmldb directory
|
||
|
|
under your moodle/admin dir and point your browser (as admin)
|
||
|
|
to http://your.server/moodle/admin/xmldb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The edition interface isn't completed yet (it laks 3 more forms
|
||
|
|
to edit fields, keys and indexes) and there isn't any lang file
|
||
|
|
(although I hope everything is really clear).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The edition interface includes one reverse-engineering tool that
|
||
|
|
provides an easy way to retroffit and to generate any table from
|
||
|
|
MySQL to the new XMLDB format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the XMLDB format was approved, we'll be able to build all the
|
||
|
|
"generators" needed in order to use it to create Moodle DB structures
|
||
|
|
for each RDBMS flavour.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the interface was finished (2-3 days from now) related documentation
|
||
|
|
will be sent to http://docs.moodle.org/en/XML_database_schema in order
|
||
|
|
to comment/modify/approve the final XML format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All the code is, obviously GPL, with its copyrights and so on...
