Now we have to get the module into our Moodle. You will need to have FTP access to your Moodle site to install the module. If you don't have access, talk to your host who looks after the site for you, or your IT department as required.
adobeconnect
. Inside this folder there are more folders, and lots of files which make up the module.mod
folder inside your Moodle installation.adobeconnect
folder (not just the files) and upload this to the mod folder. You should now see the folder along with the assignment, and any other mods
you may have installed. Depending on whether you are using a fast connection or not, it may take some time to upload each part of the module.In the Host field, you enter the URL of the Adobe Connect Pro Server which accepts the REST calls. For example, if you are using example.com
as the domain for the Adobe Connect Pro server, then you should use example.com/api/xml
in the Host field unless you have set up your Adobe Connect Pro differently.
/api/xml
included. So if the host was example.com/api/xml
then the domain would be example.com
.custom.ini
file belonging to the Adobe Connect Pro server. The file will have a line where it specifies the HTTP_AUTH_HEADER=something
. You need to copy the text after the =
sign. In this example, we have used "something". Put this into the HTTP Authentication Header field.After we had downloaded the module from the Moodle.org
site, we had to unpackage it (unzip it) and then upload the files to the Moodle site using an FTP program. We were careful to upload the full folder of the files inside the moodle/mod
folder on the server. This is because this module is a Moodle mod. Other integrations may be activities, or blocks, and may be uploaded to other locations. Always follow the README
or documentation for this guidance.
Once uploaded, we logged into our Moodle website, and triggered the installation of the module using the Notifications link in the Site administration block. This created database tables required to run the module and activate it within Moodle.
We then entered in the key configuration information including the Host, Domain, Port, Admin user login and password, and the HTTP Authentication Header value so that the Moodle site could talk to the Adobe Connect Pro server.
Finally, we saved the settings and are now ready to create an Adobe Connect activity within a test Moodle course.
As mentioned earlier, when you install this module, you give the module the "admin" information so that it can set roles based on Moodle roles. The module created three roles—Adobe Connect Host, Presenter, and Participant within Moodle during installation. Users can be assigned these roles through Moodle and with the single-sign on; they will have the corresponding roles on the Adobe Connect Pro server when they join it.
