Re: Course Contents on mobile app
by Juan Leyva.
The function core_course_get_contents returns:
- Modules in each section (activities or resources)
-- If the module is a resource it returns a list of the files used by this resource in the "contents" attribute
That attribute is an array of files, there you will have a fileurl attribute that is the downloadURL for the file (if you are using Web Services you should append the WS token)
Example of URL returned:
How you need to modify the URL to download the file:
Here you have a sample response of that WS:

Re: Problem with core_files_upload Web Sevice
by Damyon Wiese.
The context id is not required (best to leave it out really)
For private files the itemid is not needed either.
The error you are getting is because the
contextlevel must be set to 'user' and the instanceid must be the id of the user
Here is an alternative way to upload files:

Re: How to get a list of courses for the teacher?
by Juan Leyva.
You should:
First: core_enrol_get_users_courses for returning all the courses
Next: Get all the participants of that courses using the function: core_enrol_get_enrolled_users (passing as argument withcapability a capability your teachers must have)
And then iterate the courses/users and discard the courses where the user was not returned by the enrolled_users funciton

API access error for core_user_get_users
by Jury Gerasimov.
My Moodle installation on "Site administration - Plugins - Web services - External services - Functions" lists all the function available for external API - to be exact, to the service "Moodle mobile web service".
The list has only 20% from all the functions described in API documentation. For example, it has moodle_user_get_users_by_id function which returns a correct result when called from API. But when I try to call the function I need - core_user_get_users - which is not listed on that page, I get webservice_access_exception as result.
There are on buttons or links which could add API access rights to the required functions.
I don't say the API rights system is overcomplicated (while it is) - please anyone tell me how to make API calls for core_user_get_users done right?

Web Services
by Brendan Flynn.
What is the difference between using the web services like REST, Soap, OSLC etc and Web RTc. I am doing a project for college, where i have a simulated network of wind turbines and a user front end to show their performances. I need to consider which web services will work best for this project and i need it to be near real time. Do I need to consider Web RTC, would it be too expensive, or should i just stick to Web services and protocol

External Database authentication via Webservices
by Amer Hamade.
Hello,
We are trying to develop an application which will create and manage moodle users.
What we are looking for is a plugin in moodle that allows it to authenticate against external web services provided by this custom application.
The user puts his credentials on Moodle.
Moodle will contact the external database via webservices for authentication.
Appreciate the help!
thnx,

Re: REST Service core_course_create_courses
by Jerry Ahern.
Hi Joshua,
I'm having trouble with this REST service too. I haven't written any code yet, I'm trying to call the web service directly using a Chrome extension called Postman (see screenshot).
I've followed the instructions precisely to enable the service:
- enabled the web service
- enabled the REST protocol
- created a user and set their capability
- created a service and assigned the correct function and user
- created a token for the user
However, when passing in my wstoken, wsfunction (core_course_create_courses) and moodlewsrestformat (json), and the following values:
- courses[0][fullname] = "Get Started with Moodle"
- courses[0][shortname] = "01MOOD"
- courses[0][categeoryid] = "101" (the category 101 does exist)
I'm getting this error: Missing required key in single structure: courses.
Can you tell me how you got past this error? What other errors did you resolve? I know this was a while ago but I can't seem to find much information (on forums or otherwise) about core_course_create_courses.
Thanks in advance,
Jerry

Debugging web services - How ?
by julian robinson.
Hi All
I'm working on querying course data from a 3rd party web portal and am having trouble getting the course contents for some courses.
I've enabled the REST endpoint, added the necessary functions to it, got a user token and its working with a simple course I've created through the Moodle UI. However another course which has been imported through the backup/restore process is returning a "cannotgetcoursecontents" exception with no other detail.
Now I'm not too familiar with Moodle, or PHP, but I've tried a couple of things that looked promising, but cant seem to get any more info.
I've tried enabling php logging in the config.php file using :
ini_set ('log_errors', 'on');
ini_set("error_log", "/tmp/php-error.log");
ini_set ('error_reporting', E_ALL);
This is logging errors encountered when browsing Moodle, but nothing is recorded when calling the web service...
In the I've tried changing the define('NO_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true); line to define('NO_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false); in the /webservice/rest.server.php file in the hopes that this caused the web services to write to the above log file. Nope.
I've also enabled/disabled debugging in the Moodle site settings, nothing.
Am I missing something here? Is it possible to debug the web service call and narrow down what's going wrong, rather than a generic "it broke" error ??
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
