Key Modifications

Moodle User Accounts

• A newly set up Well Connectbox will have the following two user accounts set up (both have the password !1TheWell):
  • admin
  • user
• The default passwords should be changed for production use.

Enhanced Messaging

• This Moodle Repo has some added functionality to permit rich messaging through the Well Moodle App (https://github.com/RT-coding-team/moodleapp) which supports text, audio chat, video and attachments (only through the App on Android).
  • Chat messages store attachments in the file store for Moodle
  • Messages have markup in the message body:
  • Local Plugin (https://github.com/RT-coding-team/the-well-moodle310/tree/master/local/chat_attachments) handles syncing of the messaging with external chathost (https://github.com/RT-coding-team/chathost)
  • Requires column added to mdl_message table: from_rocketchat smallint DEFAULT 0

Course Restoration Enhancements

• Courses may be restored by inserting a USB (USB port 0) stick with .mbz course restore files. All files in the root directory of the USB stick will be automatically restored.
• URL (todo)
