[Hw4mdl-devel] [Fwd: different order of first and second name in the Wimba classroom]

[Ashley H. <as...@ne...>]

Hi all,

A customer of ours has found a bug in the Wimba/Moodle integration which 
causes the firstname/lastname to appear in reverse order in Live 
Classroom,  eg. Holman_Ashley.  I've attached some screen captures 
demonstrating the issue.

The problem seems to be in "integrations_common/php/lc/LCAction.php", in 
function getAuthokenNormal($userID, $lastName, $firstName).  There are 
three calls to that function which are all supplying the 
firstname/lastname in the opposite order:

./moodle/mod/liveclassroom/doAction.php:82:                             
$authToken = $api->getAuthokenNormal($session->getCourseId() . "_S",
./moodle/mod/liveclassroom/doAction.php-83-                                                              
$session->getFirstname(),
./moodle/mod/liveclassroom/doAction.php-84-                                                              
$session->getLastname());
./moodle/mod/liveclassroom/view.php:78: $authToken = 
$api->getAuthokenNormal($course->id."_T",$USER->firstname,$USER->lastname);
./moodle/mod/liveclassroom/view.php:82: $authToken = 
$api->getAuthokenNormal($course->id."_S",$USER->firstname,$USER->lastname);

I've attached a patch with a suggested fix.

Thanks
Ashley.

     Subject: different order of first and second name in the Wimba classroom


 

It appears that sometimes the name that is shown in the Wimba classroom is  last name first and for other people it is first name first

 

Could the USQ and Netspot people talk to work out what might be doing on here.

 

This is in thefoe1000>2008_1 course


In Moodle in the list of participants these two people are shown as
