Book

You're welcome (Importing from one course to another in the same Moodle is how you're supposed to do that sort of thing, so it's meant to work)

Fracois,

I also use Moodle 2.3.1+ and the Generate IMS CP should have worked for you. It is handy when you want to move a book from one Moodle to another where you can't use Your Course > Settings > Import and don't want to go through the hassle of doing a backup and restore for just one Book file. (Would be a good way for exchanging books with other folks, too.)

Open the book you want to copy, then click Generate IMS CP, which will create a zip that needs to be saved.

In the course where you want the new copy, create a new book. After you have named it and are then ready to put text on the first page, click on Import Chapter. In the Import dialog window, click the down arrow for Type and select, Each folder represents one chapter. Then click the Choose a file button and go select the zip file your saved and upload it. Once it is uploaded, click on the Import button. After importing and linking, you will have your new complete book.

The couple of these I have done this way, had the title of each page there twice, so I edited the Book and selected, Custom Titles, which turned one of them off. Now I try to remember to set it that way when I am creating the new, empty book.

By the way, this also works to move books from Moodle 1.9 to Moodle 2.3...and most import to me, the pictures come along to the new location, correctly, which I have had fail with other stuff, sometimes.

HTH,

AL
