I am trying to integrate courses from Moodle into Drupal for a defined region. I built a custom view, yet I still haven’t found a way to import multiple courses directly. What approach or module should I use to perform this course migration effectively within Drupal?
Based on my experience, the most effective approach has been to employ Drupal’s Migrate API along with modules like Migrate Plus. This combination enables the definition of custom mappings that accurately translate Moodle course data into Drupal’s structure. I developed custom migration plugins to handle specific data transformations and error handling in the process. This method allowed for a more dynamic migration that could adapt to changes in course data formatting, ensuring a stable integration even when scaling to cover a broader region.
hey, ive rolled with a custom importer using feeds module and some ad-hoc scripts to parse moodle formats. not perfect but deviceable for smaller batch runs. good luck integrating stuff!
Hey folks, I’ve also been experimenting with migrating Moodle courses and ended up taking a slightly different route. Instead of just creating a custom view or relying solely on one module, I built a bespoke integration that taps directly into Moodle’s web services. Basically, I set up a Drupal module that fetches course details via API calls and then processes them in batches using Drupal’s Batch API. It helps to handle hiccups gracefully since course data can sometimes be incomplete or formatted unexpectedly. I also threw in some logging to catch any courses that didn’t import quite right so I could re-run those parts without a massive headache. Has anyone else had success with using native web services for this type of migration? How did you tackle data inconsistencies during the process? Would love to hear more about how you’re keeping everything in sync while handling error cases!
