These are installation instructions for Moodle 2.x. There is another page for installation instructions for Moodle 1.x.

It’s important to note that the installation of the WIRIS plugin for Moodle 2.x implies installing two components: the WIRIS plugin for Moodle 2 and a configured version of the WIRIS plugin for TinyMCE.

1 Install WIRIS plugin for Moodle 2

The WIRIS plugin for Moodle is a Moodle filter. To install the filter, it suffices to copy the content of the package into the folder filter under the root of moodle.

2 Enable the WIRIS plugin for Moodle 2

To enable the WIRIS plugin for Moodle, login as administrator and go to Settings, Site administration, Plugins, Filters and Manage filters. You will see the WIRIS plugin and you will be able to enable it.

3 Install WIRIS plugin for TinyMCE

You need to install a pre-configured version of the WIRIS plugin for TinyMCE that can be found here.

Unzip the above file and copy the tiny_mce_wiris directory into lib\editor\tinymce\tiny_mce\3.4.6\plugins under the root of moodle.

4 Activate the icons in the TinyMCE editor

Edit the file lib\editor\tinymce\lib.php and before the line (which is by the end of the file)

return $params;

insert the following code in dark green

$params['plugins'] .= ",tiny_mce_wiris";
$params['theme_advanced_buttons3'] = 
    "tiny_mce_wiris_formulaEditor,tiny_mce_wiris_CAS,|," . 
    $params['theme_advanced_buttons3'];
