Modify assignment submission page to show user ID rather than full name

Modify assignment submission page to show user ID rather than full name

Is it possible to achieve this? Our students use their matriculation number as a login. We would like this to be visible as a column in the submitted assignments view instead of their name.

Could someone point me towards the files I would have to edit to achieve this?

Thanks

Hi John

You can change two lines of codes in /mod/assignment/lib.php.

Line 1151 in display_submissions()
Add your desired username or idnumber in the sql command.

$select = 'SELECT u.id, u.firstname, u.lastname, u.username, u.picture, u.imagealt,

Line 1302 in display_submissions()

change the below line

$userlink = '<a href="' . $CFG->wwwroot . '/user/view.php?id=' . $auser->id . '&amp;course=' . $course->id . '">' . $auser->username . '</a>';

Then you will have username instead of fullname.

Best regards
