Here is what students see when they view their overview report. Is there a way to get the full names to appear instead of the short names?
I tried looking in Site Admin - Grades - Report Settings - Overview Report, but didn't see an option there.
I do have my breadcrumbs displaying the full names of courses. I'm using Moodle 2.6.10
Thanks,
I didn't reply right away, because I thought there may be an easier way. I made this work by going to the file on the server path/to/moodle/grade/report/overview/lib.php . Then I found a line of code (see pic) and I changed "shortname" to "fullname". This worked just fine for my production site.
Thanks Steven -- I will give this a try.
I sometimes feel a little embarrassed when the kids and their parents are looking at the overview report and see those short code names. It almost seems a little shady, as if it's not a legit report. The kids get used to it, but when they see it for the first time, I feel that they shouldn't have to decipher what classes the grades are showing for. Maybe I'll write up an improvement tracker suggestion.
Again, I appreciate your input and can't wait to try it out.
Found a tracker for this: MDL-49694
It only had one vote. So I added a vote to it. I assume the majority of people would rather have full names for student/parent view scenarios.
Were you able to apply the fix I shared with you?
Yes, that was a easy-to-do fix. Worked perfectly!
