  Re: how to reinstall modules marked as missing

  These are old modules that are now integrated into the ATutor source code.
  
  You just need to re enable them in the Course Tools.

  I checked out course tool as instructor but I didn't find those modules (file storage and assignments, ...), would you please guide me more specific. As I already mentioned those modules are in the module section but marked as missing.

  As the administrator, look under the Modules tab and re-enable them.

  Re: how to reinstall modules marked as missing

  thanks greg for your reply. but I have tried this matter before with no change. If I want to disable those modules, I get the following error:
  "You cannot disable a missing module. To continue managing this module you must first restore its directory"
  and if I try to enable those modules nothing will happen. would you please check it out maybe there is some bug.

  Re: how to reinstall modules marked as missing

  Do the folders identified as missing exist.
  
  When you uploaded the new ATutor prior to upgrading, did you do so file-by-file, or did you upload the tar.gz file and unpack it on the server?

  Re: how to reinstall modules marked as missing

  yes, those directories are exists.
  For upgrading atutor alwayes I get tar.gz from atutor.ca and move my current atutor to atutor-old and try to unpack tar.gz and then upgrade.

  Re: how to reinstall modules marked as missing

  I could solve this problem by changing status of these modules in mysql.
  Now I need to know why students can delete files that instructor put on file storage. Please let me know how can I disable "delete" for students in file storage

  Re: how to reinstall modules marked as missing

  If you upload to the Course Files folder, students can not delete files.

  Re: how to reinstall modules marked as missing

  thanks Greg, but what do you mean by course folder?, do you mean that instructor put his files in file manager? and if so, how can make a link to that file for students to download? Also can student see each other files? I don't want student be able to see each other answers.

  Re: how to reinstall modules marked as missing

  I assumed you were talking about the File Storage utility. Upload file to the Course File folder.
  
  See the Handbook if you need more details.
