Moodle 2.2

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Please note that older builds of DataPlus will not work in Moodle 2.2 due to decision by Moodle HQ to drop the Smarty library.  This is now included with DataPlus.

To use DataPlus with Moodle 2.2, download the latest build from http://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=mod_dataplus

Save and View Button

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Small new feature in the latest DataPlus version available at http://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=mod_dataplus, a save and view button that template editors can include to take users to view their record when they’ve inserted it to the database (the default remains the add button that enables the user to add a record and then go to a blank form to add another).

It’s also now possible to specify a label for a cancel button and add a reset button.

The addcancel button type is deprecated and no longer included on template editing menus.  Each button is now separate.  However, templates that include addcancel will continue to work.

Downloading DataPlus

Monday, March 12th, 2012

For a while I have been maintaing a download screen on this site and on the Moodle Plugins Directory.  Obviously, this is duplicated effort and, as the plugins directory is where folks will expect to find Moodle modules, a bit pointless.

Therefore I am no longer updating the downloads section on this site, although I will keep it up with legacy versions for the moment and it will remain the only place to get DataPlus for Moodle 1.9.
