Hello,

Thanks for this great plugin. I have been happily using it for years. I just tried it on the new Moodle 3.0 site I am testing and got the following error when I tried to install it:

Plugin "tool_availabilityconditions" is installed in incorrect location "$CFG->dirroot/admin/tool/uploadcoursecategory", expected location is "$CFG->dirroot/admin/tool/availabilityconditions"

More information about this error Debug info: Error code: detectedmisplacedplugin Stack trace:

line 1647 of /lib/upgradelib.php: call to upgrade_plugins()

Hi -

It seems to be complaining about tool_availabilityconditions - are the two of them some how conflicting ?

Cheers, Piers Haring.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response.

I'm not sure what "tool_availabilityconditions" are. I just tried to add the category upload plugin via the GUI, as I did with quite a few other plugins, but got that error message.

Do you know if it installs OK on other Moodle 3.0 systems?

Hi -

I currently don't have a Moodle 3 system to test against, but I think there is something wrong with one of the other plugins that you have installed related to availabilityconditions?

Cheers, Piers Harding.

Interesting. I uninstalled the Progress bar plugin, and now I get a different error message with the category uploader:

Plugin "tool_behat" is installed in incorrect location "$CFG->dirroot/admin/tool/uploadcoursecategory", expected location is "$CFG->dirroot/admin/tool/behat"

I fixed up all my missing plug-ins and tried again. I kept getting similar errors when I tried to install the category uploader via the GUI. However, it installed fine when I just put the "uploadcoursecategory" folder in my admin/tools directory--as your README instructs.

I think the problem may be that the zip extracts to "moodle-tool_uploadcoursecategory-master" by default. If I start again with a fresh Moodle 3.0, I'll add your plugin first and see what happens.

Hi -

I have built a clean 3.0 system, and installed the plugin by moving moodle-tool_uploadcoursecategory to uploadcoursecategory, which works.

Cheers, Piers Harding.

Hi,

Yes. That worked for me too. Your plug-in installed fine when I renamed it and uploaded it to the admin/tools directory. Now that it is installed properly, it works great. I am able to upload categories just like on earlier Moodle versions.

My point is that it does not work to via the frontend install interface Moodle has at moodle_URL/admin/tool/installaddon/index.php

piersharding commented 8 years ago

Yes - the moodle install is a new thing (to me) - doesn't look like it plays well with github zip files.

sestrauss commented 8 years ago

Piers,

I got the GUI upload to work just by renaming a bit in your github download zip a bit.

I just renamed the extracted folder from "moodle-tool_uploadcoursecategory-master" to "uploadcoursecategory"

See if this works for you.

moodle-tool_uploadcoursecategory-master.zip

You can try https://github.com/piersharding/moodle-tool_uploadcoursecategory/releases/tag/Moodle3.x - this should work.

Cheers.

sestrauss commented 8 years ago

Works great! Thanks.
