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. |
---|

49 | 2006-07-11 - Initial commit |
---|
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... |
