The Moodle eLearning Chatbot app requires the associated Moodle e-Learning Bot Manager plugin to be installed on the target Moodle server so that the necessary functions to support user and course management from the chatbot application are available.

Installation steps

The plugin is installed following the standard Moodle plugin installation steps:

  1. Navigate to the Plugins section of the Moodle site administration

    b. Click on the 'Choose a file...' button and select the plugin ZIP file from your computer.

  3. Once the ZIP file is uploaded, click the Install plugin from ZIP file button.
    Moodle will verify and process the plugin installation. Once completed, you will see a success message.

You must be logged in as administrator to complete the installation process.

Installing from the Moodle plugins directory

  1. Visit the Moodle Plugins Directory.

  3. Browse through the search results to find the desired plugin. Click on its name to access its details page.

  4. The plugin's details page contains information about its features, compatibility, and version history.

  5. To download the plugin, locate the Download section on the details page. Here, you might find different versions of the plugin available for different Moodle versions.

  6. Choose the plugin's version compatible with your Moodle installation and click the Download link next to it.

  7. The plugin package will be downloaded to your computer as a ZIP file.

  8. Once the download is complete, you can proceed to install the plugin on your Moodle site using the standard installation process.

Installing from a ZIP file from GitHub

Here are the steps to install a plugin from a ZIP file downloaded from GitHub:

  1. Obtain the plugin's ZIP file from its GitHub repository. Look for a Download or Code button on the repository's main page, and select Download ZIP.

  2. The plugin package will be downloaded to your computer.

  3. Once the download is complete, you can proceed to install the plugin on your Moodle site using the standard installation process.

Verify Successful Installation of the Plugin

After completing the installation process, you should verify the functionality of the plugin. Here's what to look for:

  • User Profile Prefix Field for Country Code: Within the user profile, there will be a new field called Prefix. This field allows you to input the country code, serving as a dialing code for phone numbers.

  • Error-Free Chatbot Startup: The chatbot should start without any error messages. This means that the plugin has been loaded correctly and is functioning properly.

To confirm the installation and functionality, navigate to your Moodle site's Site Administration section. You should be able to see the available API functions in the API documentation section within the Server tab.

If the plugin has been installed correctly, these functions will be visible. If there are any issues loading the plugin, this section may not display properly or show error messages.
