Moodle and MIS integration

Submitted by tbateson on Mon, 27/07/2009 - 2:46pm

I have been finally making some time in the holidays to make some extensions to the following Moodle block Moodle.org: Modules and plugins

This block allows integration with Serco MIS system. My contribution so far had been to document how to get this system working on Debian/Ubuntu based systems rather Redhat.Debian integrates with mssql/sybase and freetds differently so documented how to get apache/php playing nicely with the existing system.

I have now also extended the system to allow access to the Document Storage server and Student events summary.

Allowing access to the Document storage server has been great four our school as it means parents can now access the schools reports, letters home etc etc. I will be sending updates for the code to the core developement team before I got on leave in a couple of days.

If anyone is interested in testing the extension to this block ahead of it being merged then please let me know, as would be useful to get feedback from other schools using this block.
