People uses to edit the install.xml files manually, here and there. That uses to come with small mistakes, like wrong white-space indentation, some attributes out of order... While none of them are critical, they add a lot of noise when somebody is correctly editing a file with the XMLDB Editor because it, correctly, overwrites the whole file and then diffs show a lot of unrelated changes. So, this report will inform us about any file needing to be regenerated because it has been manually edited (in a different way than the way the editor has). Note that the report is very basic, with minimal ouput, manually generating the HTML, like the rest of the XMLDB Editor actions do. We are not using renderers neither templates here. Also note that it includes a commented line of code that, once uncommented, enables the report to, also, fix the wrong files. Useful for developers. |

2006-08-07 - Editor working on production
The editor has been used succesfully to build
a bunch of install.xml files and everything
seems to be working properly.

2006-07-11 - PHP4 compatible release
Now everything seems to be working under PHP 4. What
a horrible OOP implementation!
Note that write permissions to */db dirs are required.
Now working in the 3 missing forms, to manually edit
fields, keys and indexes.

2006-07-11 - Important notes
I've just discovered this some seconds ago, in order
to test properly the XMLDB classes and editor:
1.- PHP 5 required for now. Will change this soon.
2.- Perms to "apache" user needed in */db
dirs in order to allow the XMDBD interface
to write files.

2006-07-11 - Initial commit
This directory contains the XMLDB classes to be used
under Moodle > 1.7 to store all the DB info in a
neutral form (classes dir). Also it contains one simple
interface to edit all those structures.
To install and test it, simply copy the whole xmldb directory
under your moodle/admin dir and point your browser (as admin)
to http://your.server/moodle/admin/xmldb
The edition interface isn't completed yet (it laks 3 more forms
to edit fields, keys and indexes) and there isn't any lang file
(although I hope everything is really clear).
The edition interface includes one reverse-engineering tool that
provides an easy way to retroffit and to generate any table from
MySQL to the new XMLDB format.
Once the XMLDB format was approved, we'll be able to build all the
"generators" needed in order to use it to create Moodle DB structures
for each RDBMS flavour.
Once the interface was finished (2-3 days from now) related documentation
will be sent to http://docs.moodle.org/en/XML_database_schema in order
to comment/modify/approve the final XML format.
All the code is, obviously GPL, with its copyrights and so on...
