Hi,
Using SOAP web service, I want to list all users or, if it is not possible, verify the user existence by username in moodle. Anyone knows how to do it?
Thank's in advance.

Hi to everyone,
I'm implementing an e-leatning app for mobile devices based on PhoneGap, learning materials I'm going to get from moodle system via xml-rpc, where all needed materials (topics, pics, videos) are already located.
Moodle forum has a some tutorials and examples regarding getting courses (core_course_get_courses) or content (core_course_get_contents) from external sources, but I could not decide what I need to do for the start. Could someone please advise me with some path or example next steps?
p.s. Web services and xml-rpc protocol already enabled from the settings.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Oliver,
Recently i have used core_course_get_contents for the learning app on mobile with rest protocol. You can go through this link
Hai,, Please,,
i also need answer for this problem,,
any body can help. thankz
Hi Roc,
Thanks for your advice. I've tried this: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Creating_a_web_service_client and after some experience got a set of information in form of xml. So by this link:
https://<mydomain>/moodle/webservice/xmlrpc/server.php?wstoken=<mytoken>&wsfunction=core_course_get_contents&courseid=<id course>
I have now datas like article(topics) names, description, id etc. Everything is good except content itself, I mean those texts of articles which I created aren't there. As I said before, I have one course and inside of this course I created (in form html) a set of articles(topics) and uploaded some images also. I want to show all these articles in a display of mobile device, how todo this?
Thanks in advance
From the response there will be a fileurl
http://<yourmoodlesite>/webservice/pluginfile.php/14598/mod_resource/content/7/HLR%20ppt.htm?forcedownload=1
You can download the file with token like this
http://<yourmoodlesite>/webservice/pluginfile.php/14598/mod_resource/content/7/HLR%20ppt.htm?forcedownload=1&token=<yourtoken>
and you can display after downloading the content.
If any another solution you will find please share it with me.
Thanks
Hi Nico,
I am new to moodle and experimenting with the web services api from a rest standpoint. When I try to call core_course_get_courses I get an access control exception and when I step through with a debugger it looks like this service isn't activated (or at least not in the list of services that are active).
What did you have to do to enable this service and were you able to solve your issue?
Hi All,
How i can get some information from external application using web service in moodle.
Maybe I was not clear last time... regarding course articles (topics), I was created them (not uploaded html files) via moodle system, Add activities and resources -> RESOURCES -> Page expecting that later I can directly access to them via mobile... From your explanation I got that first I need upload the course materials (articles and topics) in form of files (in html for instance) and then download them, and also in your mentioned url you show hier some roots like http://<mymoodledomain>/..../14598/...../content/7/.... are you shure that in each installed moodle system all materials in 14598/ root for instance?
Hello there,
I have a moodle 2.4 running with a PostgreSQL DB, both in localhost. when i try to run the test client, it returns the URL and nothing more, and doesnt write any changes in the DB... I tried this before with MySQL and Moodle 2.1 and worked. Permissions are all granted, protocols are enabled too... Any ideas what might be the problem?
Thank you in advance!
Hi,
I have only a gentleman's knowledge of Moodle and am trying to try out basic web service functionality.
I am using Moodle 2.4 and think I have set up all permissions in plugins for web services correctly.
When I point my browser to the following url:
http://<my-moodle-site>/webservice/xmlrpc/server.php?wstoken=<token>&wsfunction=core_course_get_courses
I get an error:
faultCode630faultStringUnable to read request
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Paul,
I'm not familiar with the XML-RPC implementation in Moodle but usually you cannot make a browser request to an XML-RPC server because it expects the request body to contain XML with the name of the remote function to call.
For testing purposes, enable the rest protocol and then try with the url:
http://<my-moodle-site>/webservice/rest/server.php?wstoken=<token>&wsfunction=core_course_get_courses
Note: The REST protocol isn't real REST, it is a roll-your-own type protocol with a single endpoint that switches method based off query string parameters
Hi Joshua,
This was VERY useful. It worked immediately based on your suggestions. I mistakengly thought the XMLRPC would automatically reyurn XML as did the suggested REST
This was my first time to use the forum and I am very encouraged.
very many thanks,
Paul
Will I need to refer to the database for this? Can I at least get their username and course if they are logged in and actively in the course?
Basically, when a student clicks a link I am taking them to another page. At that point I want to capture their name, course ID and e-mail address instead of relying on them to enter this information and potential mispell something in turn breaking later functionality.
Hi All,
Can somebody help by telling the web service to be used to create a Note for a course.
I tried using "core_notes_create_notes" and it gives me the following exception,
<EXCEPTION class="webservice_access_exception">
<ERRORCODE>accessexception</ERRORCODE>
<MESSAGE>Access control exception</MESSAGE>
</EXCEPTION>
tried "moodle_notes_create_notes" and it gives me the following exception,
<EXCEPTION class="invalid_parameter_exception">
<ERRORCODE>invalidparameter</ERRORCODE>
<MESSAGE>Invalid parameter value detected</MESSAGE>
</EXCEPTION>
Trying to do this from Android.
Able to consume the following web services, login and get_my_courses both returened proper responses.

I am by no means an expert but when I ran across an access control exception it is because I forgot to add the method to the service I created
Hi Everyone,
We are proposing an enhancement to the web service function core_group_get_groupings and have started work on this in MDL-36541. The enhancement will allow the groups associated with the requested grouping to also be returned (an optional parameter is set).
We intend to use this so that a web service client can get the members of the teams in a team assignment in the new assignment module. The mdl_assign table has a field that holds the teamsubmissiongroupingid and this value is passed as a parameter to the modified function.
Any feedback would be welcome,
Paul
... go to Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Define Roles, then double click your web services role,...
@Chris C, just wanted to clarify, what do you mean by "web services role", because I can't find this thing in my Moodle (v.2.4) in Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Define Roles. If you mean list of roles, then I have there Student Role, and I already allowed moodle/user:viewdetails by editing named role. But result is wihtout any affect. Could you help me with this? Thank you
you have to create this role.
the webservices role is assigned to the webservices account used to run any of the functions. it has unique permissions because of the special nature of the functions it calls.
I don't believe that code has ever been updated to work with Moodle 2. Moodle 2 has web services as part of its native code base, but they are not the same.
