Moodle-Wiziq bridge – problem with GMT+13 timezone

brief introduction to this tools …

Moodle (www.moodle.org): Moodle is a Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It is a Free web application that educators can use to create effective online learning sites

(we recommend moodle for elearning sites … no doubt)

Wiziq(www.wiziq.com): WiZiQ is a free alternative to expensive conferencing tools selling as online teaching/learning software

(very good tool for virtual class)

For this issue try this two solutions:

*First of all try with this information from a wiziq support center…

WiZiQ Live Class form picks up time zone as you set in your profile on Moodle. Please set your time zone in your Moodle profile. All the following steps need to be done in your Moodle account and not in your WiZiQ account.

1. Sign-in to your Moodle account.

2. Visit your profile that you have filled on Moodle. There you have time zone set as GMT +13.

3. Go to ‘Edit Profile’ tab.

4. In the Timezone field select ‘GMT+1’ and save the information.

5. Now, select WiZiQ Live Class as an activity. You should be able to add WiZiQ Live Classes for GMT which I’m assuming is your actual time zone.

**if it does not work, we will have to change the default value of the timezone. To do this … Follow these steps:

1. In the module of wizip “domain/mod/wiziq”, change one line in two files: “mode1.html” and “session.php”
2. find this peace of code:
   default:
   {
   $timezone=”GMT+13″;
   }
3. change for:(for example my timezone is GMT-3)
   default:
   {
   $timezone=”GMT-3″;
   }
