Moodle in English: Official Facetoface 2.0

Hi Everyone,

First off I'd like to thank Jeremy Schweitzer and Dongyoung Kim for their effort in porting Face-to-face to work with Moodle 2. Dongyoung's work was funded by Iowa State University Child Welfare Research and Training Project and my work on the module is funded by Totara LMS.

The new F2F designed for Moodle 2.1 and is upgradeable from the existing 2.0 version and has all the bug fixes included from the latest 1.9 version. Currently there are a few issues with the backup and restore functionlity. Moodle 2 backup and restore works apart from the custom fields and Moodle 1 restore has problems restoring session dates.

Because of these issues I am not going to submit it to the plugins database yet but will do so once the backup and restore issues have been resolved.

Please let me know if there are any bugs found and I'll try to get them fixed as soon as possible.

The module can be found at:
https://github.com/totara/facetoface-2.0
or a direct download from:
https://github.com/totara/facetoface-2.0/zipball/v2.0

Thanks,
Alastair

Hi Alastair,

thanks for the great news!

I have a little suggestion in the conditions form:

My suggestion is to add in the context above: consider the activity as completed, when

1. session is over (session date/time < current date/time)

2. attendance has been taken

Hi Alastair,
I have installed this plugin in the latest version of Moodle (2.2) and there is a critical bug. I created few face-to-face activities and after creating the next one there were DELETED ALL other EVENTS and the only events in the whole server were the ones created by the last face-to-face session. I tested this behavior again and it was first repeatable and second I traced it in MySQL table mdl_event and the older records were deleted from the table.
Additionally, I mean, that there should be created the global event only but in the fact, there are created both, the global and the user event for every session for all users regardless they are booked for this session or not, or they have any role in the course.
Please let me know, if I can be helpful by removing this bug.
I can create the report, if you let me know, where the right place is.
Thanks
Ivo
__________
Anyway I find this plugin as a crucial for anybody, who want to use Moodle for on-site training support and it is very pity, that such functionality it isn't in core Moodle. Thanks a lot for it.

Hi Ivo,

I have had a look into this issue and have been unable to replicate it. I have tried both Postgres and MySQL without any success. In both cases sessions from other F2F activities and other events were not deleted. Also I had no issues with user events being created for every session. Would you be able to give me more details on your setup and steps you took when these problems occured?

Thanks,
Alastair

Re: Official Facetoface 2.0

Hi Alastair,
It was really tough. I spent more than half a day to be able to replicate it, i.e. to get the step triggering the problem. And bless the VMware .
So the crucial point is, that in the course should be enrolled a teacher. This leads to new section "Session roles" in session setting form. For the first view, there is a problem, because of there are two checkable items for one user with one role (e.g. teacher/user_1). The exact point, when all events are lost is, if you check any of these two items. That is behavior, what at least for me is really repeatable. I checked it more times.
During the testing, I have found some more bugs or strange behavior.
1.   If you change the f2f activity name for calendar, it is not applied to the event generated by the sessions.
What is interesting and maybe can help is, that after deleting process the only one event is finally renamed (applied the long time ago changed name for calendar in the activity setting).
2.   As mentioned above, the items in "Session roles" are doubled.
3.   After you click to calendar item for the f2f session and then click to Sign-up for this Face-to-face session, you get an error. The address is "http://yourserver/calendar/\", what is sure wrong.
4.   After creating new session, the person, who created the session get an user type event in her/his calendar. Imagine that the session is often created by some assistant, so it is not her /his event. What is more uncomfortable is that the name of this event is the name of the activity. This practically means, that having many courses of the same type (e.g. on-site courses) with f2f activity of the same name in each of them. As a result this assistant has tens or more events with the same name, which is very confusing.
(it is not a bug, but I would suggest considering a change)

So, I hope, it was helpful and let me know, if I can do more for you.
Thanks for your work and hopefully, it will be one of the best plugins .

by Ivo Šmelhaus - Friday, 13 January 2012, 4:55 PM

Hi Alastair,
There is another one bug.
1. If you hide the course, which contains f2f activity with session, the appropriate event is still visible in calendar. So if you consider, that the user_1 is not allowed even to know about the existence of the course, it is enough to put inside the course an f2f activity with session and this user_1 knows about the existence of the course and its name and additionally the information about at least one detail of this course, i.e. the f2f activity. And that all despite nobody of the users (e.g. course creator) has the capability to set the course visible. Or you are just working on a new course in hidden area, the course is hidden and you put inside an f2f activity with some secrete information inside which never should be published but in fact, even the guest can see it. So this is a very bad security issue.
2. And just before sending this post, I’ve got some message "PHP catchable fatal error" and lost of the last event in calendar. But I don't know how to analyze it.

Thanks and a good luck
Ivo

I tried it both, just downloaded the zip and replaced the folder facetoface with the downloaded one and then uninstall facetoface module with all instances and install again. Unfortunately the deletion issue is still there. Please look at it. May be there isn't the latest version at github .
The duplicate issue is fixed.

Hi Alastair,

I successfully installed facetoface module thanks. However, after following your discussion with Ivo I decided to dowload that latest version. So what I basically did was deleting the old facetoface from the /mod directory and copying the new version. When I went to notifications nothing happened, but facetoface is functioning. Did I install correctly?

The other thing I am confused about is that it is not allowing me to enrol student to a new facetoface activity.. the message I am recieveing: "Could not enrol Amr I into the course. Could not add Amr I to the session.". I am using Moodle 2.2+ (Build: 20111223). Thanks for your support.

Hi Alastair,
sorry for being so late. I promise managing my time better next time .
Today I install the latest version and tested the bugs, I have reported.
1.   The bug discussing in this thread (i.e. reported by Amr 20.1. 13:10) is Fixed
2.   The bug No.1 reported by me 13.1. 1:19 changed but it isn't fixed completely.
- After changing the name for calendar in f2f (not visible), all events disappear from calendar but after opening and saving a session, it appear again with the new name. (sure for the same user, particularly admin)
- After changing the name for calendar in f2f (visible), all events remain in calendar with the old name but again after opening and saving a session, the name of the particular session changes to the new, i.e. correct one.
3.   The bug No.2 is Fixed
4.   The bug No.3 and 4 reported by me 13.1. 1:19 didn't change, i.e. are open.
5.   The bug No.1 reported by me 13.1. 4:58 didn't change, i.e. are open.
6.   The bug No.2 reported by me 13.1. 4:58 never happened again, so suggest closing it.

Thanks a lot for your work and good luck for the next steps.

This error is shown if the capability 'mod/facetoface:view' isn't set for a role. Both Teacher and Student should have this role as it prevents any viewing of Face-to-face sessions if it is turned off. It is by default set to allow for those roles.

Hi Amr,

I've rechecked and both these bugs are fixed in the latest version of the module. Can you check in your mod/facetoface/index.php to make sure that line number 10 is:

if (!$course = $DB->get_record('course', array('id' => $id))) {

If in your code there isn't the "array" part at the end of the line then you don't have the latest code.

To make the "Session date/time known" default to yes you will have to change line 234 of session_form.php from:
$mform->setDefault('datetimeknown', false);

to:
$mform->setDefault('datetimeknown', true);

Hi Alstair,

I think there is a layout bug in the current face to face. Usually moodle will display blocks (normally) on the left and right side of an activity. But facetoface uses the whole page and there is no way to display blocks.

E.g. if you on course level add a block and in the setting select "show on all pages" then it should also appear in all activities. But in facetoface this block won't be displayed.

I'm not sure if its a layout bug or not. I encountered the issue you are experiencing but on changing themes the block was displayed. The theme "Fusion" is one I found to not allow blocks in the Facetoface module and Binarius did allow blocks in the module. If you still think this is a bug let me know and I'll look into it.

You are currently not assigned to a manager in the system. Please contact the site administrator.

As this happens even when I am looged in as an administrator, i understand the managers email profile field but I wouldnt think that an administrator needs to have a manager assigned to them

Also when a session is created it only shows the date annd not the title. I suppose it would be usful to use the title of the session to put it a room number or location

I've run into some problems with Facetoface on Moodle 2.1.5 (Build: 20120312).
Facetoface is successfully installed and working. Several sessions have been set up.

However when I click on the seminar link (as admin user) to see who has signed up for this seminar I get a system error.
For example if you click the link on Attendees
/mod/facetoface/attendees.php?s=7&backtoallsessions=1

I get an error saying the face to face module cannot read from the database.

I haven't seen any updates on the restore/backup issue related to Moddle 2, but I assume this is still an outstanding issue as it is not in the plugins database. Is that the case? Can you give an example of what would not be backed-up? I am just teying to understand the risks of using it in its current format.

Thanks in advance

Melissa

Melissa, When you backup/restore a course the facetoface instances just won't be backed up and won't be restorable. You can backup those tables manually using PHPMyAdmin or similiar still if you're worried about data loss.

Hi Alastair

Any idea when you will be ready to commit this new version of the plugin to the plugin database?

I have tried this plugin out on our test server and would very much like to bring this onto our production server following multiple feature requests.

Thanks again for the taking the time to work on this

Alistair

I've installed the latest Face-to-face plugin on both Moodle 2.2.x and Moodle 2.3 and in both install I get the error below when I try to create a new session.

"ERROR: Incorrect number of query parameters. Expected 1, got 0."

Has anyone else experienced this or has been able to rectify it?

Eric,

There is a separate thread on this one. http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=204382

I don't believe it has been resolved. I'm running moodle 2.1.5 and the coresponding F2F version right now because of this.

Hi Eric,

Sorry for the slow response on this, I've been away on holiday for 6 weeks.

First off which version of Face-to-face are you using. There is the version that is on the plugins page and also a version that can be downloaded from Github. The bug you are encountering should be fixed in the version on Github. I am in the process of fixing a few issues that came up with changes in Moodle 2.3 and hopefully will get a new version onto the module plugin page within the next week.

Cheers,
Alastair
