If you use Chamilo and decided to develop your own template, you might be faced with an issue while upgrading from Chamilo 1.11.2 (or below) to 1.11.4 (or above). The issue will usually be reflected by either of these: a white page an error message about Twig if you have xdebug installed and showing error […]
This guide will take you through the process of installing the Chamilo e-learning portal, version 1.11.4 on a fresh Digital Ocean instance,on an Ubuntu 17.04 64bit distribution (also works with minor changes with Ubuntu 18.04) To follow this guide, you should be familiar with the notion of SSH keys and installing/configuring server software on Ubuntu […]
This article can be considered an update of our first article on installing Chamilo (on a Raspberry Pi B+). This time, we are testing it with Raspberry 3, as of the 1st of April 2017 (no joke intended). Last time, we were testing with Chamilo 1.9, which is arguably less load-intensive, considering it doesn’t include […]
Redmine is a project management system and a support ticket management system. See other articles on this blog and my video on YouTube about a previous version of Redmine for more info. At some point (and this only happened to us after years of use and more than 10.000 tickets/issues registered), you might want to […]
There is a surprising number of cases where you’d want to change the URL of a Chamilo portal, but the more common we see is when you take a backup copy of a portal and want to use that copy to build a new test portal. Obviously, if you keep the same URL, you’re going […]
This guide will take you through the process of installing Chamilo 1.10 (from Github sources) for testing on a fresh Digital Ocean instance, on an Ubuntu 16.04 distribution. A previous article on this blog explains how to install Chamilo 1.9 using Juju Charms and another article explains how to install 1.10.2 on Ubuntu 15.10. The […]
If you ever want to implement projects with Odoo and, like us, you are a bit itchy about non-free-software licenses and alternative BSD or LGPL-like licenses, you might want to know this. Odoo itself was previously (as OpenERP) AGPL, but it apparently (following David from Odoo S.A. in a message on the 2nd of March […]
This is a short note for ourselves, but it might help others considering the (new for now) rules of Google indexing of non-mobile sites. Drupal 6 does not really provide all the stuff that would be really useful to switch the theme of your site depending on the browser being on a mobile device or […]
This command mentionned by Pete Doherty, found on in the comments of this article http://gitready.com/intermediate/2009/03/04/pick-out-individual-commits.html, is simply awesome: git log –graph –pretty=format’:%C(yellow)%h%Cblue%d%Creset %s %C(white) %an, %ar%Creset’ It will show something like this (in the terminal)
For those developers of you wanting to do more than just develop under Linux, you’ll have realized that there are many things stopping you for doing proper video tutorials as easily as you would do it with some non-free (as in freedom) software. Fear not, though, as this tutorial, written at a time between Ubuntu […]
As we migrate to gettext for Chamilo LMS v10, we are also looking for a platform to host our translation system (considering our current translation system does not support gettext). We will migrate most existing translations, but we were looking for the right platform to manage the translations as a community. One tool that attracted […]
This article is an extension of the previous article about storing sessions in Memcached with PHP. Using Memcached for sessions storage is generally a matter of speed (storing them in memory is faster than on disk) and of scalability (using a Memcached server allows you to have several web servers serving the same PHP application […]
