Moodle 2.4

Our group is developing a android application named as Student Infromation Viewer and we retrieve data mostly from the moodle. At the start of the project we used moodle 1.9 version and now as our lecturer in charge requested we changed it two moodle 2.4 which is the version currently using at our university.

The problems to overcome were

• We developed our own web service to retrieve data from moodle 1.9 but those services cannot be used because moodle 2.4 file stucture is totally different.
• The moodle 2.4 is developed in php 5.3 so it cannot be hosted at a free server. So we were unable to host our own moodle server for data retrieval

The solutions were to

• Host the moodle 2.4 server in a paid domain
• Re change the directory access paths in the web service.

Note- The moodle 2.4 has directory access in two levels. The hash code first 2 codes represent the root file, the second hash codes represent the secondary file level and the content will be stored with in this file.
