Thanks so much. Happy to help.

"Home" and "Dashboard" are language strings, so you can change them using Language customisation. Go to Site admin > General > Language > Language customisation. Choose the language you wish to customise, search for the strings you wish to change and save. Not a bad idea for a video, actually... Cheers!

That's a really good question. At the moment, honestly, I don't know. It may be that future Docker pulls will update the Moodle, though this seems unlikely. More likely is a need to directly update the Moodle files in the persistent volumes.

Great point Thom! Thanks! 🙏

@@Wise-Cat one other thought -- could you possibly do a demo on what HTML Tidy actually *does* in Moodle? I would like to know specifically what benefits you are getting if you have that filter turned on - can we show some "tidied up HTML" or something? In addition, there is another similar filter called "Code" something-something. I couldn't seem to get it to do very much when I activated it. It might warrant some investigations if you think it is worthwhile. Again, I really appreciate all your enthusiasm and efforts to show different aspects of Moodle. Thank you Adam! #moodlelegendinthemaking

I probably won't focus on HTML Tidy anymore as it's being removed (and I don't really know what it does and don't really feel like researching that), but am hoping to make more videos introducing various plugins soon. So the code filter could well be one of those.

@@Wise-Cat I wonder how many other things in Moodle are there but not working or not being used? That could be a research topic...

I did a few videos a while back about getting a command line. It will depend on how your server is setup but usually even through cpanel etc there is a command line that is accessible. ua-cam.com/video/Ttho2NIiyPg/v-deo.html

That sounds like a great one for me to try next. Thanks!

Glad to hear it was useful. When Bill first saw the trouble, it was also straight after he had upgraded to 4.4, so it took some time to figure out the problem was HTML Tidy and not something else in the upgrade.

Yep, the last three YOLO releases were pretty massive though they just had more major changes than most major releases. From now on it'll represent passing an LTS.

You could do this. There are modules for the raspberry pi that allow the connection of a monitor etc. In my project, I mainly used the pi as a server and accessed the LLM through a browser on a mobile phone connected to the pi's WiFi.

My experience with Docker is very limited, but yes, I'm planning to do a video on installing Moodle in Docker (or maybe Podman) soon.

Thanks

I'll try to get to this soon. I've seen that feature and was curious about it myself. My guess is you probably need to upload the font file and set the font-family in CSS as well.

Glad to hear that! Thanks!

The paywall page can be customized somewhat using CSS, and I believe the course description is also displayed there and can be made somewhat pretty too.

Are you looking for your Moodle code? If so perhaps you can find $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ?

That's a file permissions error. Your user doesn't have permissions to write to moodlesql.gz. Try changing the owner to the user you're currently logged in as. Note that the sudo doesn't apply to anything after the pipe | so gzip is running and outputting as your non-sudo user.

@@Wise-Cat thanks for your response

It will be CSS to do this. I did something similar in this video: ua-cam.com/video/pHk5Dl0MA_A/v-deo.html

@@Wise-CatOk thanks I’ll make sure to check it out. In addition is it possible to create a text box under the section name with hover capabilities to reveal the full tittle. For example, the section name is cut off but then the user hovers over the tittle and a text box shows up under it revealing the full tittle? How would I implement that? Thanks for the help.

A bit trickier, but also can be done in CSS. You may need to be careful to position the box so you're hover stays when the full box is open too. Definitely recommend the channel of @KevinPowell for all things CSS.

I think there is a plugin for bulk backups (by Justin Hunt?) though it might not be in the plugins database. Also you could try using the upload courses feature to duplicate existing courses in bulk.

Sure, I've tried bigger models without the AI kit, but the bigger they are the slower they run. Jeff Geerling did a demo on his channel using the AI Kit for visual recognition stuff and it was pretty amazing. I also wonder how its performance on LLMs would improve.

Great question! Yes, it is possible. It's easy to checkout any of the branches (for example for 4.2.x with "git checkout MOODLE_402_STABLE"). That will get you the latest code on any given major version. For minor "point" releases it's a bit trickier and you'll need to search "git log" or "git tag" for the specific release you're after. Then to get for example v4.2.4, you would use "git checkout v4.2.4" (however this will not be on a branch and thus updating with "git pull" won't work until you return to a branch). Not a bad idea for a video actually, I'll add it to the to-do list. Cheers!

Deploying an LLM to a cloud is easy using the docker-compose.yaml file in the Pillama repository, though getting it to work well with the cloud's infrastructure will be very case-by-case depending on how your particular cloud is setup. Using cloud-based GPUs etc will yield better results, so I'd suggest looking through the documentation for your cloud infrastructure provider. Sorry, I don't have a one-size-fits-all answer for this question.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you

Thank you for the great question! I'll pass your message on to the duck. 😂

Argentina? Wow! Thanks for watching! Glad to have been of service.

It looks like there is a typo in either the dbtype or dblibrary directives in config.php. Some common errors include not finishing the directive with a semicolon; having Capitalized some letters (MySQLi instead of mysqli); having the wrong dbtype (the most common being perhaps 'mysql' instead of 'mariadb'). If you can paste the first few lines of your config.php, that might help diagnosing the problem.

@@Wise-Cat Thanks for having a look into this. The first lines are: $CFG->dbtyle = 'mariadb'; $CFG->dblibrary = 'native'; $CFG->dbhost = 'localhost'; $CFG->dbname = 'moodle'; $CFG->dbuser = 'moodleuser';

@Wise-Cat ok ... found it: the typo is dbtyle instead of dbtype 🙈 Thanks for your great videos and tutorials. You are one of my absolute favorites. informative and still entertaining. Please do never stop!

Ahh, well spotted. Glad to hear it all worked out.

I would love to try that out someday. I currently don't have that stuff though. Saw some videos on Jeff Geerling's channel that were very interesting though.

Thanks

I've been meaning to do a video on this for a while now. Your best bet is probably the CLI uninstall-plugins.php. Use the switches --show-missing and --purge-missing to show and purge the missing plugins for the site. Also remember to use the --run switch when you actually want it to run the actions (uninstall-plugins.php is very cautious and won't actually do anything without the --run switch). Afterwards, perhaps go to the "performance overview" report and make sure the Database schema matches what the code expects. Good luck and happy hunting!

I made a video on this topic ua-cam.com/video/JCD1F-ZDgj0/v-deo.htmlsi=K5EgsFeGEkFvFf2X Hope that helps

Thank you very much. I'm always glad to hear my videos are helpful.

Great to hear! Enjoy your new AI!

It depends on what your goal is. If you want a blazing fast AI, yeah it's not worth it. On the other hand, if you want to learn more about how these things work and perhaps how you can serve your own AI later on more impressive hardware (or on platforms like AWS and/or Azure) then it's totally worth it. Or you could do it to win a beer bet 😉 In our case, we did it simply to show it CAN be done. To demonstrate to people that AI is not beyond them and to thus empower people. This could be the start of a journey for people who otherwise might be too self-doubting to take their first step. That makes it worth it to me. Oh, and it's cute and fun too...

Not sure what I can do to help. What problem are you facing? If searching for your php.ini file, looking at your Moodle's phpinfo page should still work regardless of the OS.

You can find it regardless of the operating system you’re using. Actually if you’re using windows, it’s probably the easiest to find the file on.

Thanks for that. Yes, the other day a friend was trying it on an M1 Mac and she noticed that the performance on a directly installed Ollama was also much better. There are certainly better ways to do this than the what we did...

Thank you. I'm glad to hear it helped.

Thanks for that comment, I didn't mention when to YOLO upgrade because largely they have been just another major release with a YOLO number change. Right now, the desired upgrade would be to 4.4. my recommendation is to always be as upgraded as possible. Rumours of "so many bugs" tend to be unfounded, and even if a bug exists, it's usually taken care of at the latest, by the following point release. So, upgrade to the latest possible version, and don't skimp on the point release updates. From my experience there has never been a good argument for holding back (i.e. only upgrading to 4.2 when 4.4 is available). All holding back does is give users an outdated experience. Nobody likes that... Good luck with your upgrades and thanks again for shining light on my omission. Cheers!

Glad you like it! Definitely felt a follow up to the workshop last Sunday was needed.

It depends on what kind of error it is. If an SSH error, it could be that your SSH keys are not setup properly. I'm planning to do a video on SSH keys (along with ssh-import-id and ssh-copy-id) soon. Maybe that will help?

@@Wise-Cat Thanks, I will recheck. And waiting to see the ssh keys. your video are very helpfull

Wow! Interesting question. I haven't seen and can't immediately think of a way to do this in the gradebook, but for individual items, you could perhaps use scales. Do you think there's a demand for not using hindu-arabic numerals though? Here in Japan, I don't think anyone would use kanji numbers if that option existed.

@@Wise-Cat Hi, It is used in certificates. I try to generate a transcript using custom certificate for primary school but I surprised that I can only use English numbers

Ahh, that makes sense. Perhaps adding an issue on the customcert GitHub Page (or looking to see if someone else has already had similar thoughts) might be an idea. It may need funding, but sounds like something that could be added.

Glad it was helpful!

You bet!

Happy to hear it!

Thanks Todd. Definitely bringing back the duck. It has to happen.

Thanks for the encouragement. I do try to release a video each week, though some weeks this is easier than others. Thanks also for subscribing. I hope my future videos prove useful for you.

@@Wise-Cat configuring the width and the background colours are essential elements, thanks for those videos. Now, I've come across your channel in my search for an inviting website. Fair enough for established institutions, but not being able to have a welcoming landing page with links to other pages such as ''about'' just makes people click right out. If you have any ideas to make a moodle site look more like a school's oficial site, it would be greatly apreciated. Hope it makes sense

Moove, Boost Union and LearnR among other themes have some pretty good features for improving the site-home. They offer stuff like image carousels and "marketing spots" that can make things much more appealing even before one logs in. It's definitely worth trying out a few themes and you'll probably find one that suits your needs.

Exactly! When I first saw the narrow strip in the middle, I thought I had just wasted a bunch of money buying a 24" screen. I like my Moodles like my monitors: widescreen enabled.

Wow! A non-Moodle but related-to-Moodle question (a first for this channel). It's been a while since I have done a BBB migration, but there is a way to move the recordings over. I'm guessing it might be different now compared to when I last did one, but as long as the metadata from the BBB recordings is all intact they can be migrated across.

Thanks for trying it out. Yes, being a new plugin, there are still some tweaks that need to be made. One recent tweak stops it from being duplicated in H5P activities. Appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Hmm, I don't know of any way to get all of this information on one page, though the Custom reports feature may be useful to make several reports that could provide the information you're after.

I'll definitely try to get some BBB related content up soon. Thanks!

Glad it was helpful! Like you, I'm not a programmer but a system administrator. It's a life of continuous learning, keep at it! That CSS isn't really the best as it will cause issues on smaller screens and with longer activity names. So, be ready to tweak it more when you discover issues. Firefox's inspector gives you a good way to try tweaks out before making them live in the theme's SCSS. It is a rabbit hole though, and you can easily get hooked and spend hours playing with it (I've had that happen several times... great fun, but when you realise suddenly it's 3am, can be quite the shock).
