Still on Drupal 7? Security support for Drupal 7 ended on 5 January 2025. Please visit our Drupal 7 End of Life resources page to review all of your options.
Finally a new beta... with lots of new and fixed stuff... IMHO, this is really close to a v1.0 release... but that may be developer pride...so it needs more folks to kick it's tires first.
Installation
This release requires you to run the update.php process after updating the module files.
A new ldapsync module that allows for bulk imports/cron based data sync of users from LDAP servers.
Support for defining settings and servers via a Features "module"
Support for Import/Export of settings via admin GUI
Modules refactored to use ldap.core.inc common functions
Various modules now have more API hooks for localized support (see [module].api.php files for details)
Full read/write support for Content Profile module
Modules have strong checks for duplicate names and e-mail conflicts to keep with Drupal account practices.
Support for Persistent User IDs to allow for definitively identifying users who's name, e-mail, and/or user id has changed in LDAP. See the README-PUID.txt file for information.
Lots of internal optimizations like only returning required attributes and using cache to limit DB and LDAP calls.
long overdue release, minor bugfixes and one new feature:
* run the daemon niced - anarcat
* fixed status check to match the process as it actually runs - ergonlogic
* fix formatting in the README. - darthsteven
* implement reload functionality - anarcat
This is the first official release completely hosted on drupal.org! All future releases will be built from here and this will drastically help streamline development. Also dev branch of this project will be fully functional if you want to ride ahead of the published releases.
New Functionality
HTML Export - Now you can export your Course sites to HTML individually. Install locally, work, publish to HTML and put it where you need students to see it!
Admin section - ELMS now has its own admin section with quick links to parts of the drupal system to change specific system specific values as well as drupal settings of other projects users may want to change.
User management - Lightweight as well as Feeds based, automated user management methods have been worked in
UI/UX clean up - Another round of user experience testing has gone into place. The options available at any time are drastically refined and each ELMS site has it's own site settings area for easily finding all relevant settings from user management to theme and site settings, features as well!
Course site copying perfected - Now you can accurately clone a section / version of a course with relative ease.
