General plugins

That sounds very interesting - will download and have a play with it

Wow I am really enthusiastic  about this plugin - I downloaded it and began to play immediately  - although my Moodle 1.9 is quite old -1.9.8 I think -and I can't get it to work Maybe it is the way I am doing it- I set up an assignment no problem. Then in firefox I logged in with one student account and I went to Internet Explorer and logged in with a different student account and started typing in both - I expected to see the typing of both on both my FF and my IE screens - but I didn't I only saw each student's contribution. Also - there seems no way to exit the activity as a student (ie, no "save" like normal assignments) You just have to click back to the course. I then logged in as admin to look at the results and it said nothing had happened - however; the tabs the teacher/admin gets like the image below don't have  a breadcrumb trail to lead you back to the course so I had to use the back button -which isn't ideal. Screenshot below. Happy to keep trying though - and perhaps this time I should read the instructions

Hi Juan,

German translation and I´m still testing your interesting plugin.

So this is the official entry for the plugin: http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=4621

By the way if you are using the plugin I recommend you to update to the latest version using the download link in the plugin entry, there are some bugs fixed and improvements in the rich text editor. Remember to clean your browse cache

Have you thought about extending this plugin to work a bit like a wiki, with multiple pages (creating pages when users type a word /phrase in [square brackets] ).

It strikes me that this would be a very powerful way of creating shared notes, without the restrictions that wikis have (due to locking entries, so only one person can edit at a time).

Hi,

I have uploaded a new version of the plugin that adds full support for reviewing texts created with the RTE editor and fixs small bugs

Regards

Hi Juan,

I am excited about your idea of a collaborative assignment. Are there any plans for making it available in Moodle 2.x?

With kind regards,

Hartmut

Hi Juan,

I was looking for something like this and I had just written a message asking for information about something similar this morning when I saw your plugin.

I wanted to give my pupils a document for them to complete online (something similar to a form they have to fill) . Will this work for what I want?

I can see that you all stopped sending messages in October and I was wondering if the version to download works fine or if it could have any bugs. We are using version 1.9. I became a Moodle administrator last September and I'm a newby at installing plugins so that's why I am a bit scared of trying new things. 

 Thanks for all your work to offer us tools like this. It must be hard to develop such a thing.

I have moodle 2.21 and this mod/activity will not install, is there anything that can be tweeked so it will run on the latest stable version of moodle?

FYI if I put trcollaboration in /mod/assignment it is not recognized. If I put it in /mod it errors and says it cannot find the db.

Hi, I'm new to Moodle and am interested in your plugin.

I made what I'm sure is a dumb newbie mistake, but I am not sure how to right it and hope you might point me in the right direction.

I didn't see the install instructions at first and was searching in Moodle for info about where to place the plugin directory.  I mistakenly put it in the /repository/ folder and did the update.  It installed it, but I couldn't enable it -- and there was no install option.  So I deleted it and then found your instructions.  I then put the folder in the /mod/assignment/type/ folder and tried installing.

However, it appears to have a problem because your plugin is already installed, but in the wrong place.  I get the error below.  Is there any way to completely remove the previous install so I can install it correctly?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

UPDATE: I suppose I could just manually delete the table?

UPDATE 2: That worked!

Hi, thanks for this great plugin.

Can we expect a new version fully compatible with Moodle 2.3 and the coming 2.4 some time soon ?

Thanks.
