I am struggling getting this to work. I know it's a very limited role but I recall getting it to work in 1.9. This is what I have done so far - any suggestions would be welcome:
- created new Parent role and assigned it in the USER context
- allowed it to "read user blogs/read user posts/edit profile/viewuseractivitiesreports
- assigned Homer Simpson the Parent role in the student Bart Simpson
- added the mentees block
Like this, I got Bart's name appearing for his dad Home on the front page but when I clicked on it, I got the message "the details of this user are not available to you" Bit useless ..so I went back and
- added the ability to view user details, ie view his profile
This then allowed Homer to get into Bart's profile - he could see site wide blog entry but when he clicked on a course in Bart's course list he couldn't access any forum posts or assignment grade -this is where I am stuck, because in 1.9 when you click on a child's course and then click on their activity report tab you can see their grades etc. But not in 2.0 - am I missing something? Or have I forgotten something in 1.9 that I haven't yet done in 2.0?
