Hey!
How come Moodle.org's Recent Activity block shows New Users but my Recent Activity block only shows Forum Posts and Journal Entries?
No fair! I want my Recent Activity block to show New Users too!
No way! My Recent Activity block does not show new users! Are there settings I have to change? I tried:
1) Turning editing on and examining the block
2) Going to Configuration-->Blocks and looking at Recent Activity... it does not have a 'settings' link like some other blocks do
3) Randomly clicking around admin areas like a crazy man trying to see where the block may be editable
I was always good at hide and go seek as a child, I don't know why I can't find it!
I'm running version 1.3.4+ and the only thing my block will show is journal entries and forum posts.
Hi! Thanks for writing!
Yes: in fact I had 3 new students sign up on Monday and at various points throughout the day I logged in as different instructors and sample students.
I even used the 'login as' feature to login as real students to see if they were seeing it.
Nothing. It's definitely not showing new students in the Recent Activity block.
Hmmm, that's what I figured. I don't know what I'm doing or not doing either, since I'm a 'straight-out-of-the-box' moodle user (i.e., I don't have any customizations or anything. I use the application as-is)
Maybe if I upgrade it will take care of the problem. Thanks to you, Martin, and to everyone else who responded to me on this discussion!
Hey Jan,
My recent activity block doesn't seem to be doing that. It seems to be showing everyone's Recent Activity from 2 days ago instead of from the last time they logged in. If they have logged in less than 2 days ago, only then does it show from their last login. Any ideas why?
I wonder if this has anything to do with why my NEW USERS thing is not showing. Do you think so? I upgraded to 1.4.4 yesterday and, my test site shows NEW USERS now (I was very excited) but my live site still does not! I was crushed!
Anyone know why this is happening?
(p.s. if you're confused about my comment regarding the new users, please look higher in this message trail for previous discussion about it)
