moodle-hoover

This is a node.js script which will download all the files available in a Moodle account. It downloads files, PDFs and the content of test work boxes (Homework too). A file is generated with all the data scrapped from your Moodle account.

Install

Download the content of the repository and install the needed dependencies through these commands :

git clone https://github.com/rigwild/moodle-hoover
npm install

Configure

In order to configure this script, you need to modify the file ./.env with your settings :

MOODLE_USER="username"
MOODLE_PASS="password"
MOODLE_URL="http://url_of_moodle_homepage.com/"
FILES_DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY="./downloads/"

Don't forget the ending slash in the Moodle URL or it will not work. If the login fails, change the path in ./app.js line 29 matching the login page :

moodleURL + "login/index.php"

If you style have issues logging in, check which parameters are sent through the login page and change these lines (line 19 in ./moodleHttp.js) with the corresponding parameters :

const postData = querystring.stringify({
      username: username,
      password: password,
      rememberusername: 1
});

---

You are done ! To start the script just run this in the root of the project's directory :

npm start

Please keep in mind that i did my testing on my own school's Moodle, so it may not work on your's and you will need to do some adjustments (Regexps, redirects). You can open an issue and I will make sure to look into it.
