I do not seem to be able to enable Workshop in 2.3 (we upgraded from 1.9 over the June/July recess.

See screenshot

 

I go into settings and have tried default settings and changing them, but it is always disabled.

Any thoughts?

Hi John, this is known usability issue. Unfortunately at this "Plugins overview" screen, plugins are just reported to be Enabled or Disabled and the "eye" icon is just a picture, not a link. I know it is very confusing and should be fixed (by removing the icon).

You can enable the Workshop module at Site administration ► Plugins ► Activity modules ► Manage activities page.

David,

Thanks so much.  That was it.

By the way, I remember you getting feedback years back as you were writing this module.  Just wanted to say thank-you.  I am attending the MoodleMoot in Hong Kong and offered to present a couple of different workshops/presentations.

I offered to do one on your workshop module which I describe as "the best kept secret in Moodle". I reallly think that this is the case.  Your re-write has taken the concept that was available in 1.9 to a highly useable and educationally effective learning tool.  Thanks so much for your work on this.

Thanks for these nice words John. In free software world, such a feedback is the most valuable reward for a developer. I really appreciate.
