| 13 | 2006-08-07 - Editor working on production |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | The editor has been used succesfully to build |
|---|
| 16 | a bunch of install.xml files and everything |
|---|
| 17 | seems to be working properly. |

| 21 | 2006-07-11 - PHP4 compatible release |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | Now everything seems to be working under PHP 4. What |
|---|
| 24 | a horrible OOP implementation! |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | Note that write permissions to */db dirs are required. |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | Now working in the 3 missing forms, to manually edit |
|---|
| 29 | fields, keys and indexes. |

| 35 | 2006-07-11 - Important notes |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | I've just discovered this some seconds ago, in order |
|---|
| 38 | to test properly the XMLDB classes and editor: |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | 1.- PHP 5 required for now. Will change this soon. |
|---|
| 41 | 2.- Perms to "apache" user needed in */db |
|---|
| 42 | dirs in order to allow the XMDBD interface |
|---|
| 43 | to write files. |

|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | This directory contains the XMLDB classes to be used |
|---|
| 52 | under Moodle > 1.7 to store all the DB info in a |
|---|
| 53 | neutral form (classes dir). Also it contains one simple |
|---|
| 54 | interface to edit all those structures. |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | To install and test it, simply copy the whole xmldb directory |
|---|
| 57 | under your moodle/admin dir and point your browser (as admin) |
|---|
| 58 | to http://your.server/moodle/admin/xmldb |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| 60 | The edition interface isn't completed yet (it laks 3 more forms |
|---|
| 61 | to edit fields, keys and indexes) and there isn't any lang file |
|---|
| 62 | (although I hope everything is really clear). |
|---|
| 63 | |
|---|
| 64 | The edition interface includes one reverse-engineering tool that |
|---|
| 65 | provides an easy way to retroffit and to generate any table from |
|---|
| 66 | MySQL to the new XMLDB format. |
|---|
| 67 | |
|---|
| 68 | Once the XMLDB format was approved, we'll be able to build all the |
|---|
| 69 | "generators" needed in order to use it to create Moodle DB structures |
|---|
| 70 | for each RDBMS flavour. |
|---|
| 71 | |
|---|
| 72 | Once the interface was finished (2-3 days from now) related documentation |
|---|
| 73 | will be sent to http://docs.moodle.org/en/XML_database_schema in order |
|---|
| 74 | to comment/modify/approve the final XML format. |
|---|
| 75 | |
|---|
| 76 | All the code is, obviously GPL, with its copyrights and so on... |
