Dear Lukasz,

I have uploaded your timestat block to my moodle site lib folder and added the code to the lib.php file. Now what do I need to do to activate it?

It does not show up on my Manage Blocks list

I have managed to resolve my own problem - I did not know that I had to to load the module in the 'BLOCKS' folder - I copied everything only in the 'LIB' folder.

I've tested it and it seems to work OK - it seems to be registering current usage - but is not able to gather data on usage before it was installed.

I think this is going to be a very useful tool. Up to now time time stats and usage were very difficult to collect efficiently - and those two elements seem to me to be fundamentally important infomration for an on-line course.

Very well done and many thanks for creating this! I look forward to using it.

Regards,

Nick Russell

Dear Lukasz,

I successfully installed timestat in my Moodle 1.96 website - and it works perfectly. I now want to instal it in a Moodle 2 website - but I have hit on a problem. The Coding in the Weblib.php file in moodle 2 is different from Moodle 1.9. and I don't know where to paste the piece of code. I tried guessing - but received error message when I logged into Administration.

Is the timstat compatible with Moodle 2? If so where do I paste the code?

Kind regards,

Nick

Hello

At the moment there is no Timestat block version for Moodle 2.0.

If You know Moodle 2.x API You can try to convert it to new version. I do not have time for doing this nowadays.

Lukasz

I followed the readme.txt instructions and got it installed on my site http://scm.moodleace.co - MANY THANKS and it works!

I noticed that it started calculating the time starting from when I
installed it. WOW! I wish that I could have had this block back in
November 2010 when my college semester started!!!

Anyway, this is a much welcomed block to monitoring student usage
of my Moodle site.

It causes a problem with the "Login/Logout Block". After logging out from the Login/Logout block, I re-type my user name and password and then click on the Login link of the "Login/Logout Block" - I can't login. LOL!

Anyone else face the same problem?

Hello

This is weird. I understand that your Moodle platform with Timestat block works everywhere except login block..

I can not reproduce this error on my platform, so its difficult to point what is the problem.

Lucas,

My problem is when I click on the Login button, I get thrown to a blank screen. The address bar on my Mozilla Firefox reads:
http://scm.moodleace.com/blocks/timestat/update_register.php?id=115445&time=46

Since you TimeStats block was so simple to use, EFFECTIVE and simply BRILLIANT, I had to TRY to solve my login problem. So I reinstalled your block.
I then revisited the problem and this time, I removed this line:
require_login();
from the update_register.php file, and the problem went away!
Now I can login with no problems.

However, this is NOT how I should solve it because the block
keeps recording my time spent online even after I have logged
out! So I am back to square one....by the way, I am using
Moodle 1.9.7.

Frankie Kam, Malaysia

-------------------------------------------------

<?PHP
require_once('../../config.php');
global $CFG;
//require_login(); <-- I commented out this line!
//now I can login without any problems
//but the block no longer gives
//an accurate record of time spent!!!

require_once($CFG->libdir.'/ddllib.php');
require_once($CFG->libdir.'/dmllib.php');

//Pobierany jest rekord o przeslanym ID oraz dodany do niego zostaje obliczony czas, przeslany w zmiennej TIME.
//Get record with sent ID and add to it counted time, sended in variable TIME
$record=get_record('log','id',required_param('id', PARAM_INT));

$record->count=$record->count+required_param('time', PARAM_INT);
update_record('log',$record);

?>

Hi,

Block appears to be caluculating well, but I get error message 'This block has not been implemented correctly and thus cannot provide a configuration interface' when I try to edit the block.

Have I done something wrong? I have installed twice.

Tukasz, thanks for such wonderful block, this is exactly what we are looking for and it should be added to the Moodle core blocks!!

By the way, I noticed that in the "readme" file, it mentioned that "Measured activity time is incremented only when user perform operations using themouse or keyboard." Can you explain a little bit more about how the time is calculated (what "counts" and what does not count?)

Also, if there are a lot of "resources" (e.g. videos or SWF files, etc.) linked under a course, is there a way to track how much time students are spending on using these "resources"? We only care about when they "opened" (clicked) on a certain resource, and when they"closed" the resource, and would like to track the time between and would consider that they were using this "time frame" for reading.. If we want to do that which part (function and php file) should we modify the codes? Thanks a lot!

Judy

If You want to measure time only using 'clicks' - opening a pages, You can use Course dedication block, You don't need such advanced application as block discussed here.

by Lorenz - - Tuesday, 31 January 2012, 7:53 PM

Hi Lukasz,

Your block is very interesting, and it will be useful to use it also in "Course dedication block" mode. This block use only the Log DB table to create time intervals. Many actions doesn't create a record in Log table (SCORM action, ect.). So time measurement in many cases (long scorm lesson) it's very inaccurate.

Your block can resolve the problem. How can i adapt the block to use it like "Course dedication block"? Your block use a DB table to record user action?

Thanks

By the way, have anyone tested this block with the latest Moodle 1.9.11? It seems that there are some bugs with the permission. In 1.9.11, if I login as a teacher, I could add this "Time stats" block, but I could not configure it (but with admin permission I could)... just a quick FYI...

Also, I noticed that with Moodle 1.9.11 (maybe some 1.9.x versions as well?), now I'm getting a lot of redirect to http://localhost/blocks/timestat/update_register.php?id=xxxx&time=xx AFTER I login, and the page will just go blank.. any idea why is that? Thanks!

Hi Judy,

I have the same problem, some time ago I send this comment and the block creator told me that may be a problem with file and folder permissions, I modify the permissions and the problem had not fixed.

If in the blank page (with the URL you mentioned before) you enter the URL of the main page, you enter to the system and the block operate well, but you have to do that every time you login.

I tried to modify the lib to redirect to the main page, but it doesn't work well and for job problems I couldn't continue working on it.

This is weird, because application works perfectly on both of my Moodle instances. I installed completely clean version of Moodle 1.9.11, and I noticed 'login blank page error' there - so now I can try to solve Your problem - be patient.

Which version of Moodle do You use (where login blank page error occurs)?

Please download latest version of block from server. I think that I resolved problem with blank login page. Addidtionally there were some security improvements made, and all files are placed now in /timestat/ block folder.

Please give here a feedback if blank page after login still ocurrs after update of this block.

Hi Lukasz,

Before all, thanks a lot for your support in this problem, unfortunately, I update the block, but the problem it's still present.

I'm using Moodle 1.9.9 Build 20100609, PHP 5.2.9 and mySQL client version 5.0.67

After login, a blank page appears, and I have to enter the main page addres to access Moodle, after I do this, the block operate well.

But there is something diferent from the last version.

The problem only occurs when I try to login in an open browser after I logged out from Moodle.

If I logged out and close the browser, then when I open a new browser and I login into Moodle, the block works fine.

I will suggest my Moodle users to do that, when they logged out from a Moodle sesion and want to login again, they have to open a new browser sesion.

Thanks again for your great block.

Martin.

The problem with the blank page was fixed, but it's still present the problem with the "teachers" configuration and usage of the block.

When I login as Teacher, I can add the block, but I can't configure or use it, is this normal?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Nope, there is no such a feature included.

If You want to allow teachers using this block, You need to edit permissions for teacher role, and set parameter 'block/timestat:view' to 'Allow'.

Hello

This block was developed on Moodle based on Mysql server. It has never been tested on Postgres. I actually still use mysql Moodle database only. This problem most probably comes from different syntax of query mentioned by You. You can try to change this query to satisfy Postgres syntax.

I do have an observation. When I clicked the download button to download
the stats in Excel format, there was no feedback that the file had been downloaded. Actually it did but I had to do it twice before i finally checked my "My Documents/Downloads" folder. Am using MFirefox. Just thought I'd let you know that if it gave some feedback on screen, that would be better.

Probably, You have Your browser set up to automatically download files to folder "My Documents/Downloads", without asking. File is small so it takes very short time.

I don't see necessity of creating a page 'You downloaded a file' ;)

Cool, I'll give it a try and post feedback. It's a shame Moodle doesn't have this sort of functionality already built in, we badly need a reporting mechanism that gives us total time spent by students in courses, and later what activities they spent most of their time on.

Hopefully, the Moodle developers will get round to including this in future builds.

I'm working with Lukasz on raising funds to have this block upgraded for Moodle 2.5 and 2.6 and have pledged about 20% already. If you're interested in making this happen (It will be released at Moodle.org) please help by contributing at www.moodlegarage.com.

1) I copied timestat block to moodle/blocks folder successfully

2) I copied the line given in readme file into moodle/lib/weblib.php

Odp: Timestat Block - Measuring real time of users activity

Czześć,
pobrałem sobie timestat ale coś nie chce mi zliczać. Czy mógłbym Cię prosić o małą pomoc?

Wtyczka zainstalowana, dodana do katalogu z kursem (kurs w formacie paczki scorm - stworzony w Articulate Storyline2, otwierający się w nowym oknie) w samym kursie dodane również forum. Po przejściu kursu i wpisach zrobionych w forum timestat nie wykazuje żadnej aktywności, na koncie Administratora przeprowadzana próba jak i na koncie User-a

Co może być przyczyną nie działania timestata ?
Czy ja coś źle robię?

Pozdrawiam
Marcin

Got the plugin installed from https://moodle.org/plugins/block_timestat . Based on that it works "experimental" with 2.9.

Updating -> (moodle dir)/lib/outputrenderers.php with -> require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/blocks/timestat/lib/timestatlib.php'); was I little tricky.

What exactly does "experimental" mean?

Planning on a 3.0 version?

I've been wanting to create a lock based on time spent in previous activity, possible with the data you are collecting in timestat?
