Forums have been used for well over a year in my school and they have worked brilliantly. However, I recently added a forum and now students cannot reply. The site admin/teacher can reply but the only action available for students is "show parent." I have searched the forums for hours and am coming up with nothing...
This forum was not created as a News Forum.
Group mode is set to No Groups.
Group mode is not forced.
Any help is much appreciated!
Cheers!
Which type of forum is it?
You say group mode in the forum is set to no groups -what is the setting for the course ? Which version of Moodle is it?
Versions (not sure which one):
Type of Forum:
We've tried each one but we would prefer the: A single simple discussion.
The course is set to "No Groups" as well.
Just found this:
Moodle version: 2012120304.07
Update: I logged on with my test student and finally saw the reply button. However, when logged in as SiteAdmin and switching my role to student, I still see no "Reply" link. The students that are enrolled in the class are automatically synced from RenWeb (cloud based school management service) and also cannot locate the “Reply” link.
When I manually enroll students, the "Reply" link is magically there! So, I'm thinking that I either need to manually enroll students (not fun) or look at how Moodle syncs with RenWeb.
Spending far too much time on this...
Mark and Mary,
I'm not sure if you resolved this issue. I have been struggling with the same problem, however some students are able to reply while others are not. I have a mix of self and manual enrollments, mostly manual. Is there some sort of time delay for replying? I am using the "each person posts one discussion" forum. Also spending too much time. Students as well. Would appreciate any new information you come across.
Thank you!
Came across this, not sure if there is a solution to our current problems. But I did change my settings from "separate groups" to "no groups" albeit too late according to this.
