I've put it in /contrib/attendance and it's available from the Modules download page: http://moodle.org/download/modules/
I'll tell Russell about this thread - he may want to say more about it.
I installed the attendence module----the current lang packs for en does not contain the required "attendance.php" file. I copied the attendance.php from the /mod/attendance/ folder and placed it into the lang/en folder. But I cant find any way to access the attendance functions....Where is it and how does it function????
Rob
It seems to be somewhat functioning---but I'm getting the following error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in c:\program files\easyphp\www\mod\attendance\view.php on line 63
I didn't find the attendance.php file ???
Thanks
raf.
Most of it seems to work ok. If all students are marked as "P" I get this error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/moodle/mod/attendance/view.php on line 63
But with one or more students marked "A" everything is OK.
Russell:
Great job!!!!!
We have been looking for exactly this. Will the students be able to see their attendance. Also we have a different number of hours to post for each assignment, will that be a feature?
Thanks for all your hard work,
Tony
Russell:
The only thing we will have to do is to eliminate the students from seeing everyone elses attendance. Privacy laws require that we do so.
Tony
Yes!!!
We would like to be able to take roll, per topic (class) and based upon the student attending, award some amount of points that will apply tward the final grade in the gradebook----Rob
Russell:
Bravo!!!!!! Encore!!!!

I looked in the CVS and could not find it ![]()
. Can you tell me where it is?
The one under optional Modules is still the old one.![]()
Russell:
Updated my install of the module, the upgrade of the db went fine. Click on View All Attendance Rolls and I get:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/virtualhosts/denver.heritage-educationonline.com/html/mod/attendance/viewall.php on line 96

Just FYI,

Russell:
It works...great job.
Tony
Russell:
I am trying to create a hack of this great module. We would like to be able to have the instance setup the week then allow the instructor to enter the number of hours (with either a drop down box or an entry field).
The amounts in each day would then be totalled up at the end of that week to give the overall attendance for the week.
Thanks for tackling this.
Tony
Russell:
Thanks. I am newbie to php/mysql so I know I would make something blow up if I tried to do it.
Tony
Russell:
Thanks, I took a few days "off" and wanted to get back and thank you. We will proably use it day by day, since each day's required attendance varies in hours.
Tony
Yes I still get that same error.
If, however, you change it for one student to "T" or "A" the error will go away.
That fixed that part
. But now an other error is present in the "View all" option:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/moodle/mod/attendance/viewall.php on line 96![]()
This problem also goes away when at least one "T" or "A" is set
Hello...
I'm getting an error in the Attendance module which says:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tally_overall_absences_fraction() in /home/wolfpsy/www/moodle/mod/attendance/viewall.php on line 261
Can you look at this and let me know what is wrong? Also, is there a resource which explains how best to use the attendance module, e.g., what is autoattend, etc. Basically some docs about the module?
Thanks a bunch. Good module, I think, but I'm still wondering how to use is effectively.
Thanks!
Bob Lee
I got
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/tim/mootim/moodle/mod/attendance/view.php on line 125
When I viewed an attendance module. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that there are no students enrolled on the course. I was just trying to check out the module.
Tim
Nice modul!
We are moving form classes with closed doors to open learning landscapes.
Brings new resposibilties for our schoolteachers: "Are all the students in the house?" They started to count them on paper.. This modul fits their new "sheep countin need" THANKS (So i would propose to replace the current icon with a white sheep
)
Another "new need" is that the teacher needs to know if students have the choice to be present in an offered meeting. (if no student will coem, the teacher can help other students..)
The same for exams: students can choose from a list the date they will take their first exam. Thinking how I could use your modul for this, I got a brainwave: I can use poll for that, all the functionality is there. Just clone poll and give it a informationmark icon, changing the text a little...
Question to Martin: is worth to make a new modul of it, or is it to close to poll?
Hi Martin,
Maybe this follow on should be in the choice forum, but anyway...
When trying to use the choice module to book students there are two obvious limitations that might be easy to fix (but again it might be more related to the attendance module than the choice..)
So take it as an idea for further improvement of an already excellent package.
Thanks
Roger
Hi Ger,
If you still have this need, you may want to try my hack of the choice module. I posted it in the choice forum here.
Roger
Thanks, it is already useful in it's current form:
Nice, very nice..
Glad you liked it.
We are using the limit figures to set the available seats, say 30. When 30 students makes this choice it is "sold out". When the 31 student tries this choice he will be asked to make another choice.
Russell:
Food for thought.
It would be sweet to be able to have the code give attendance "credit" for participation in forums or taking quizes, etc. Something that is able to be set for different values for each activity.
I don't know if this is a major kernal change or just changes to the modules.
ok, now I will shut up ![]()

Hi
Has there been any development on the Attendance module? The last I heard it is still unstable.
I'd be interested to hear how you are tracking attendance without this module. Do you use the logs?
Great to have you back Russell

It would be nice to use it.
