Hi

Thank you for your block

I´ve installed it without a problem

I wanted to add this block using "sticky pages" to all the courses and found a problem: i add this block to my course and click on "enrol in another course"
this should take me to : http://yoursite/course  but instead it takes me to http://yoursite/course/course then getting a 404.

also, ive translated the en_utf8 - block_myCourses.php into german and when i select german in my moodle, all the block description words except the title of the block is displayed in german, how can i solve this?

thanks and have a good day!

Sorry I am new to moodle.
How can I install this new block? do I just copy it to the block directory and it should then work?

Thanks
Karen

The block doesn't appear to handle long course catagories, instead it makes the right column stretch. Tried with many different themes and IE6, IE7 and FF2. All have similar issues. Is there any way to resolve this? Thanks.

Hi Julian,
I got the block installed but it does not show any of the catagories or list any course which I am enrolled in.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Julian,

We would like to have the option to turn the "Enrol to another course" on or off via a configuration and also to configure the title. We know that you can remove/change code in the files, but would seem better as a configuration option.

Could you let me know the best approach.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Julian,

Great work with this block. It is perfect for me, because teachers requested it. However I have a problem with the block.
I have installed it correctly on localhost and it runs perfect, but when I install it on server, nothing is seen,  neither categories nor courses, no data. The same problem as Karen.
Any solution?

Thanks.

With developer debugging turned on, in latest 1.9 CVS, I get the following messages. Is it anything to be concerned about?

Notice: Undefined variable: CFG in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/moodle19/blocks/myCourses/HTML_TreeMenu-1.2.0/TreeMenu.php on line 660

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/moodle19/blocks/myCourses/HTML_TreeMenu-1.2.0/TreeMenu.php on line 660

Fix it by adding :

in HTML_TreeMenu_1.2.0/TreeMenu.php

§672 should show :

    function _nodeToHTML($nodeObj, $prefix, $return = 'newNode', $currentDepth = 0, $maxDepthPrefix = null){
        global $CFG;
       
        $prefix = empty($maxDepthPrefix) ? $prefix : $maxDepthPrefix;
  $charLength = @$CFG->block_myCourses_charLength;

in block_myCourses.php

§381 : replace $icon by $nicon

§22 : replace $course by $COURSE

Hi Julian,
I got the block installed but it does not show any of the catagories or list any course which I am enrolled in.
Any ideas?

I had this problem and I solved it adding addslashes function because of our quoted university (french) name.

block_myCourses.php
l.235
$mnode = new HTML_TreeNode(array('text' => addslashes($text), 'link' => addslashes($url), 'icon' => $icon, 'cssClass' => $cssclass, 'expandedIcon' => $expandedIcon, 'expanded' => true));

l. 359
$node = &$pnode->addItem(new HTML_TreeNode(array('text' => ' '.addslashes($catnode->name), 'link' => '', 'icon' => $nicon, 'expandedIcon' => $eicon, 'cssClass' => 'treeMenuDefault')));

l. 379
$node->addItem(new HTML_TreeNode(array('text' => addslashes($text), 'link' => addslashes($url), 'icon' => $nicon, 'cssClass' => $cssclass)));

I don't think addslashes is necessary everywhere but it makes it work...

A better answer should be

block_myCourses.php
l. 223
$text = ' <span style="font-weight: bold;" title="'.htmlspecialchars($SITE->fullname, ENT_QUOTES).'">'.$SITE->shortname.'</span>';

l. 228
$url = $CFG->wwwroot.'" title="'.htmlspecialchars($SITE->fullname, ENT_QUOTES).'"';

Adding htmlspecialchars as it's done in "courses leafs" l.375

Hi Julian,

I installed your block no problem, but do not see the 3 colored blocks in the upper-right corner. I assume these allow users to toggle active/inactive courses. Any idea how to enable that functionality?

Thanks,
Lacey

This block is a great idea and we have been using for a few months now. It works great however, for students that have a lot of courses (10-15) it takes a long time to load that page, all of the other pages that do not contain the "My Courses" block load pretty quickly. Are there any plans to update or to make the code more efficient for moodle 1.8 and above? Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

Thanks

Am keen to use this but when I added it after upgrading to 1.8.4+
there was a mass of errors so had to delete it.

Any chance of looking at my error log and suggesting where to start fixing it ?

Thanks
Lynn

Hello,
Here the MyCourses block translated into French.

Hi Julian-
Many thanks for creating this block! It is definitely a great step towards re-structuring the faculty's and student's course list. And it works very well with Moodle 1.8.3.

I did run into one small error while I was installing the block. The lang file is incorrectly named as block_mycourses.php. It should be block_myCourses.php, according to the code:
$mtitle = ' title="'.get_string('showmycourses','block_myCourses').'"';

Sincerely,
Rosemary
