Ok either I am missing something very obvious here( and I hope I am) or something is wrong with my Moodle: a colleague in another school and myself noticed on our respective Moodles (recently upgraded to 1.9.3) that course totals for older courses made last year are not showing, while course totals for recent courses show fine -the settings are the same; I've checked everything I can think of. I know there was an issue with this (saw the tracker) in upgrading from 1.84 to 1.9 but we were upgraded from 1.9+ - and I prefer to think it is my not being very 'good' at the gradebook that means I have forgotten t add something in. But then- so has this colleague on a different Moodle (set up by the same company though) Any ideas please?

Re: Course totals not showing
I don't want to cross post (in General) to see if anyone else has an idea as this is specifcally a Gradebook issue, but I'd be really appreciative if someone could offer some suggestions please?
We are having the same issue with a course copied and restored within version 1.9 Original course has course total column, copy does not. This is not global within our site, just occasional
We´re experiencing the same after updating from 1.8.4 to 1.9.2. Courses created in 1.8.4 don´t show proper course total. In addition to that, manually created "categories and items" don´t change anything. Backing up and restoring in fresh course doesn´t help.

is closed, does anybody know if the issue is solved when updating to 1.9.3?

No it is not solved; because I posted earlier to say we are on 1.9.3 with the same problem.
Having the same problem here, not a clue what is wrong.
Hi guys. I've scanned your posts and I think I suffered from the same problem a while back. Eventually I found a YouTube video that showed that you need to set the calculations for the course total to show. Can't remember the details, but play around on the gradebook page and when you see a calculator icon on the course total column click that and then set the calculation you want. For me it was a simple (A+B+C)/3.
Hope that helps
Not sure if this will help or not, but when we migrated from 1.8 to 1.9, I noticed this as well, and then went into some courses and found that the overall course aggregation method seemed to be set at "Mean of weighted grades" or something like that which gave nothing in the course totals column. But when I changed that to Simple Mean of weighted grades or Mean of Grades, then the totals showed up. So it was just a matter of changed that aggregation method.
This can also be done in the administration panel for grades sitewide- but the thing is, there's a "force" checkbox, which means that you can force everyone to use the same setting (and they have no choice). Then there's a pulldown menu for choosing one method, and my hope is that this then becomes the "default" aggregation method across the site for those who haven't made an aggregation choice yet, but I can't confirm this for sure. What I wanted to do was make Simple weighted or mean of grades the default so that people who had no clue about the aggregation method would still see something in the course total column, without forcing everyone to use the same method. I'm still not sure if setting these settings does that or if it needs to be done in code.
Best,
