Attendance (plugin)

Hi Dmitry,

I updated the German language files. Here they are!

Excellent mod.

When I install it,it does the usual install, I save the new settings and get the following error:

"Sorry, but your session key could not be confirmed to carry out this action"

I have attempted the install on the Moodle 1.5.3 along with MySQL 4.3 and PHP 4. This mod looks cool, if only I could use it. I know this problems has been shown elsewhere, but there dosnt appear to be any definitive security safe solution. Any ideas? It also dosn't allow me to do anything else, adding sessions for example.

Dmitry,
some of the links in logs for attendance point to a wrong directions. For example "attendance student view" points to /mod/attendance/index.php?course=XX. I assume that it is caused by add_to_log function that has sometimes argument like blocks/attendance/index.php, but sometimes only index.php, but I am not sure.

This is the first time that I'm using this block.
It's what I needed and it's working allright (at least for what I'm using it for)

Thanks Dimitry!!!!
It's a great block!

Wonderful! I got it to install and got almost everything to work flawlessly.  I just can't figure out how to get this block to interact with the gradebook.  I have installed the necessary Mod but....?

Hi Dmitry

I have some errors when downloading the reports as excel- or textfile

see follow (german installation v1.53 downloading textfile)
Teilnehmer ID    Nachname    Vorname    <br />
<b>Warning</b>:  Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in <b>/srv/www/htdocs/xxxx/wwwroot/moodle/blocks/attendance/lib.php</b> on line <b>133</b><br />

see follow (german installation v1.53 downloading excelfile)
<b>Warning</b>:  Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in <b>/srv/www/htdocs/xxxx/wwwroot/moodle/blocks/attendance/lib.php</b> on line <b>84</b><br />

I remember these analog errors from the former attendance module, and i remember if i delete these lines (133, 84) the function (download) works fine without any error. I´ve try it and it works! Thanks for sharing your works with us!

Bye Andy

Hi Dmitry,

We have been using your block for awhile now. One thing here in the states my teacher's keep getting confused on is that our date format is generally month/day/year and in the block and setup it is day/month/year. Any code I can change for the month/day/year format to make it easier for them?

Thank you,
Deon

1)I changed the labels of an attendance block (P A L E) to different ones. The new legends show correctly when recording attendance. Still when I call the summary, the program still shows the original ones. My students are upset because I changed the second entry A(bsent) to a B(uono)=good. So they seem to get an absence while they should have a good mark (the final score is correctly computed with the new values, though). It is possible to show the updated labels in the summary too?

2)How do I use cvs to update my installation?
I tried :
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@moodle.cvs.sourceforge.net:/contrib/block_attendance login

but I got:
cvs login: authorization failed: server moodle.cvs.sourceforge.net rejected access to /contrib/block_attendance for user anonymous



thanks,

with enabled visible groups i have some inconsistency:

when i select to show all users, i see all students
but when i select some group, i see all users in a group - and students, and teachers.

i forgot what i need to make teachers visible, for example, in assignment's senders list but i think here must be same situations.
