Hi,
We are in the process of upgrading from 1.9 to 2.3.4 and whilst going through and testing, I have noticed that my teachers aren't able to see the "add a journal" option in the activity picker. As an admin, I am able to see this, and all the Journal settings in user definitions are turned on.
Can someone please help me. I read somewhere that perhaps this activity is not longer around. Is this why I can't turn it on?
Hope someone can help.
Thank you in advance.
Amy
Hi Amy,
This is because the plugin no longer comes as default with newer moodles. https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=mod_journal
Ive just successfully installed this plugin onto my test platform - it was alot easier than expected if you download the zip file from the link above and have a look at the text file inside, there are clear instructions to get it working.
I havent yet got to the bottom of what staff should be using as an alternative, but it would probs be handy for both of us to know
Thank Oliver.
I have worked it out, it's actually a problem with the activity chooser between the legacy courses and the newly created courses that is making the "add a journal", plus many other options not available. Have had to post on a forum about that one to try and get some answers.
Thanks for your help however. I've been a long time reader of the forums and help but never posted and since we started this upgrade, I have been posting and its amazing how many people out the world of moodle are willing to help.
Amy
