	Hello: I have problems whith 1.8.3 Moodle Version.

	by Lael ... - Wednesday, February 20, 2008, 09:36 PM
	Thanks for update to make 1.9 compatible. So far so good! Great Module! - very useful.

	Thanks for all the hard work Dmitry. It installed fine and works perfectly on 1.9.1. I really like how it is possible to use the groups/groupings option as it makes this activity/block extremely useful. Is there any way to collect the attendance from all courses in one place? Fred

Thanks for the Module. I'm sure it will be great. Right now, though, I get it installed. I used your version as suggested. I copied the attendance directory to the blocks directory, the attformod to the mod directory, the attendance_block.php files in their respective language directories. I then clicked on the Notifications link as admin. I got this error message:
Module attforblock: /<MY-PATH-TO-MOODLE>/moodle/mod/attforblock/version.php was not readable

So I set the directories ( w/ -R) to 777 and still got the same error.

Any suggesstions?
It on my server, not a hosted one, so I don't think it's a permissions problem.

Thanks,

	this might be a stupid question...but how on earth do you actually add students..

	Great module! But I have some problem with the moodle 1.8.7 version. In the attendance tab, some time the green icon in the action column cann't disappears when I set the lesson.... This is a big problem because the students cann't see the lesson on their report. Some body can help me?

	Hi, I need it for 1.9 Moodle, But I couldn't able to download this Module, Can you give me the alternate Download Link. Thanks in Advance,

	Installed in 1.9.4+ on Feb 20, 2009 without any problems. Only problem is the download link, some service providers have blocked the domain from where the .zip needs to be downloaded, they think that's a phishing site. Maybe the .zip files should be uploaded to moodle itself.

	by Anil Sharma - Tuesday, February 24, 2009, 07:30 PM
	there seems to be some problems with this and 1.9.4+. It will install on the MAMP localhost , but on our production servers, where we have php5 , the block won't install on 1.9.4+. The module installs, but if we copy the block to /blocks folder, the site wont access /admin folder.

	When I tried to download the ATTENDANCE package - I get this error, I tried many times Network Timeout The server at download.moodle.org is taking too long to respond.

Sometime it is better to be able to manage student data using idnumber(Student ID). But most of the reportsin Moodle do not include this field. Attendance module is also the case.

I have hacked the code in mod/attforblock/report.php and mod/attforblock/attendances.php to display idnumber.

Changes are :
report.php

$sort = optional_param('sort', 'idnumber', PARAM_ALPHA);
// $sort = $sort == 'firstname' ? 'firstname' : 'lastname'; -- Comment out this line.
Insert at line 149 : $idnumber = "<a href=\"report.php?id=$id&sort=idnumber\">".get_string('idnumber').'</a>';
Insert these lines at approx. line 164 :
$table->head[] = $idnumber;
$table->align[] = 'left';
$table->size[] = '';
Insert at approx. line 195-199: $table->data[$student->id][] = "<a href=\"view.php?id=$id&student={$student->id}\">".$student->idnumber.'</a>';

attendances.php

$sort = optional_param('sort', 'idnumber', PARAM_ALPHA);
// $sort = $sort == 'firstname' ? 'firstname' : 'lastname'; -- Comment out this line (at 105).
Insert at line 130-131 : $idnumber = "<a href=\"report.php?id=$id&sort=idnumber\">".get_string('idnumber').'</a>';
Insert these lines at approx. line 150 :
$table->head[] = $idnumber;
$table->align[] = 'left';
$table->size[] = '';
Insert at approx. line 168-171: $table->data[$student->id][] = "<a href=\"view.php?id=$id&student={$student->id}\">".((!$att && $update) ? '<font color="red"><b>' : '').$student->idnumber.((!$att && $update) ? '</b></font>' : '').'</a>';

Hi,

I'm getting some error about MySQL syntax while updating this plugin.

I'm updating 1.9.2 to 1.9.4. I tried both ways - first update the plugin, then Moodle and vice-versa. Both cases produce same results. The logs are bellow.

It is testing environment so it is not a big problem but for future it would be good to know what it could cause.

There are a few more same type errors with just different four number sets, like

Lowpriority bugs and fixes

Hi Dmitry,

attendancemodule works fine for me (with some hacking), but I have found some lowpriority bugs (moodle 1.9 v2.1.0 - 28 feb 2009):

1) Description: server logs “PHP Notice: Undefined variable: result in/var/www/html/moodle/mod/attforblock/lib.php on line 177 …”

Bug: Function “attforblock_user_outline” returns $result, but when a studenthas no attendance record $result is not set.

Fix: add “$result=false;” at line 166

2) Description: server logs “PHP Notice: Undefined index: 0 in/var/www/html/moodle/mod/attforblock/locallib.php on line 86 …”

Bug: At get_grade there are statusidof (may be) a removed status

Work around:

Change line 86 by

if(isset($stat_grades[$log->statusid])){

$result +=$stat_grades[$log->statusid];

}

3) Description: Action links at useractivity report logs goes to a “404 Not found page”

Bug: The function add_to_log is misused by the module (12places)

Fix: For every call to add_to_log second parameter ‘attendance’ must be replacedby ‘attforblock’ and fourth parameter must be change by removing the prefix ‘/mod/attforblock/’

Bestregards.

After many tries I finally got the attendance module to install and be recognized. However when I open the attendence activity all the headings contain odd characters. I reinstalled the language files but still no luck. I have attached a copy of the screen shot If anyone can help me out. Thanks in advance for any help.

	Is there any way that, when sorting by Surname, and encountering students with the same Surname, that their First Name would be considered so Amy Smith would appear before Bruce Smith if sorting by Surname? Currently, our version (2009022400) doesn't - Bruce Smith appears prior to Amy Smith when sorting by Surname.

	can any body tell me how we can install it in our moodle???

	by Dmitry Pupinin - Thursday, January 14, 2010, 04:41 PM
	Hi lakoda! You can install this like any other module: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_contributed_modules_or_plugins

Thanks Dmitry for this module

I have a note regarding the report. When you specify weeks view it shows sum of all sessions attendance not the sum of the week's sessions

see the screenshot

so is there anyway to have only the sum of corresponding week and may be a new column for the total of all sessions?

Regards

Said Bishir

This is my first attempt at installing a Module. After uploading and unzipping
I get the following error message when I log on as admin

Module blocks: /home/ysgol/public_html/dev2009/mod/blocks/version.php was not readable

Module mod: /home/ysgol/public_html/dev2009/mod/mod/version.php was not readable

Anyone got a clue how to fix or remove. I've stupidly installed it on a production server.

	I've solved my previous problem as I had unzipped the files into the wrong directory. I'd better not mess around with the system and teach at the same time
