Hacked Moodle theme, instead of echoing $menu I now echo user_login_string(). Then the navigation is never shown and users are not able to access other topics 'via the backdoor'.

updated some reporting routines:
created sql scripts in /path/to/transfermood/clientreport so I can run:
[bash]
mysql -u moodleuser -p moodle_help > course_month.sql | sed -e "s/\t/:/g" > output.txt
[/bash]
to list and sort files to creation time:
[bash]
ll -Rt --time-style=long-iso | grep -v ^d | grep - | awk '{print $6 , $8}'
[/bash]

SQL: 80 Euro

Damn, that's a lot of money; I think we have about 100 - 150 licenses. I hope the boss does the math.
