I am new to Moodle and have recently set up a complete course. It includes all topics and assignments. I have hidden the assignments and grades from students until I want them to be available. However, a quiz that is set to show at the assignment level, will not show in the gradebook. It is grayed for me as the teacher, and not visible at all for the student. I have clicked on the eye to show it in gradebook, but it won't stay on. I have even tried un-checking the hidden box in the edit pane. It keeps going back to hidden.
Please advise.
Hi Celise,
it's a little hard to tell from the description what you have hided and where: on the course homepage vs the gradebook. May be you can provide some screenshots of both areas?

I have found this bug report - MDL-15715. "The problem is that if a ending date is not set for the quiz, and the option for showing scores during a quiz is not enabled, then the gradebook item is hidden." Additional discussion: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=101573
Please try some of the suggestions there (like changing quiz settings). Hopefully it will help.

If, in your quiz settings, you have 'unchecked' the options (in the Review Options section) to show the students' scores or responses, the item will become 'hidden' and every time you make it unhidden and another student does the quiz it becomes hidden again.
This makes sense because if you want the scores to be hidden from the student it makes the entire item hidden.
This drove us crazy until we realized this.
