Here’s a goodie from the forums recently: Autosave in Moodle. Ever been building a great webpage or label and then (by accident) closed the window or lost your work? Ever had students complain that they had been typing their online text assignment and then inadvertently lost it the same way?
Soon it might be possible to ward off the digital dog eating your homework excuse.
You can checkout the forum discussion here regarding Autosave (and the possibility of working it into Moodle 2.2): http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=191050.
A couple of places I’d like to see it:
- Forums
- when editing resources/activities
- Online text assignments
- Course settings
- Gradebook/Feedback
What do you think?

I think “Yes, please!!”
To enable Autosave in TinyMCE (Moodle 2.x)
1. download latest http://code.google.com/p/tinyautosave/
2. follow the install instruction, Here: http://code.google.com/p/tinyautosave/wiki/GettingStarted
(which is, unzip the plugin into your tinymce plugins folder and manually enable it in the code /lib/editor/tinymce/lib.php. around line 134 and 138 too)
3. Checkout your tinymce, to see it work 🙂
(You should see a new icon on the toolbar)
