Well, thought that your workflow was to 1 - use activity X to create / get the document to print 2 - hit a "print" button or option in the Journal - this creates a PDF 3 - go to Browse.xo and visit the "Local schoolserver" which shows the Moodle UI 4 - find the "print" page, and upload the PDF to it
with an xmlrpm point of entry, we cut #3 and #4. And we can pass the appropriate credentials to moodle, avoiding it askingfor a username and password. Having the webbased "upload files to print" UI will be needed as a fallback for users (teachers or others in the schools) that use a non-XO / non-Sugar laptop and need to print. m On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 12:18 PM, Vamsi Krishna Davuluri <vamsi.davul...@gmail.com> wrote: > That would be a killer addon!
