Here it is - my FREE Limited-Features Version of the Wall for Moodle 2.x

Dear All
I am releasing a free version -and- limited-features version of the wall for Moodle 2.x. This wall has been tested under Moodle 2.2. You can download it, try to install it. If you succeed, you are a Moodle-PHP Guru. If not, you can always E-mail me, right?  If you successfully set it up on your Moodle site, you are free to modify or customise it. This wall is a modification of Srinivas Tamada's Facebook-like Wall Script 3.0 which is free.

The Lite Free version for Moodle 2.x can be downloaded from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17797520/moodle/free_version_wall_resource_Moodle22.zip

Your copy of the Wall code is exactly the same as this one:

Disclaimer. What the Wall can't do.

1. There is no upload image from your harddisk feature.

2. Updates are not in real-time. This is not Facebook! So for a student to see all posts by others, he or she must refresh the browser. Therefore the Wall works like the Moodle forum. 

3. No "More" button exists. Yet.

4. The wall can only be activated via iframe embed code. It does not exist as a mod or as a block.

Real-life usage of the free Wall on a user's website

Dan Wheaton of Australia has made use of the free version of the Wall to enhance the functionality of his website which is using the Facebooky theme.

He said on 29th May 2013,
"I have been reading through with great interest your facebook wall in moodle posts, and have been poking around inside your test sites. .... I am going with a "facebooky" theme, to try and make the user experience a little more familiar, and stumbled across your work. Obviously with my idea in mind, I am greatly interested in it."

Here's what Dan's site looks like. Cool.

Well if Dan could do it for his site, you can do it for yours too! Imagine the possiblities.

regards and keep on innovatin'
