Applying filters on an activity module description when using it as a new calendar event's description is bad m'kay? We need to store the raw text and apply the filters only when we actually display the text. That way, filters (such as multi-language content) may actually fully work and we do not initialise the theme and output machinery. Additionally, we need to explicitly set the format of the description text to HTML (because we have converted it to it already). Otherwise it defaults to the current user's preferred editor format. This is still a pragmatic hot-fix solution. The proper solution would be to pass the raw text, format and embedded files.
Official Chat Module for Moodle ------------------------------ The chat module now supports a backend daemon for more efficiency. It's still buggy and being worked on, but if you want to test it and help out here are some quick instructions: 1) Admin -> Config -> Modules -> Chat -> Settings 2) Set the method to "sockets" and set up the ports etc 3) Start the server like this (from the Unix command line): cd moodle/mod/chat php chatd.php --start & 4) Go to a chat room in Moodle and open it as normal. ------ KNOWN PROBLEMS - User list is not always working - Some browsers (eg Safari) cause lines to be repeated by 10 - 20 times - Occasionally "Document was empty" messages Help solving these very welcome!
