Hi friends...


I have the next problem...

In the front end i have the avaible course, each one with the name of courses and teacher's name.

My problem is when i click it in one course i need to get the name of course and the teacher and put this information in the header of moodle.

I have the course name but i can't get the name of teacher.


In the header i put this query 

    $nombrecurso = $PAGE->course->fullname;

    $teacher_name = $DB->get_recordset_sql("SELECT ldm_user.id, ldm_course.newsitems, ldm_user.firstname, ldm_user.lastname,        ldm_course.shortname, ldm_course.fullname

    FROM ldm_user, ldm_course WHERE ldm_course.fullname = '$nombrecurso'");      

    foreach($teacher_name as $teacher){

    echo "Asesor(a):". $teacher->firstname; echo " ".$teacher->lastname ; 

    };

I'm using moodle 2.7 

Somebody can help me please...

What you are actually asking is, "who is assigned the role of 'teacher' in the course context for course xyz?"

So, if you have the course id number, you first need

$context = course_context::instance($courseid);

then...

$users = get_enrolled_users($context)

(there may be more than one). Check lib/accesslib.php for the full definition. 

All this is from memory (so check). To generalise this a bit more, you might also want to look into 'course contacts'.

OK...

- what else do you need to know?

- what do you plan to do if the course has more than one teacher?

I just told you above. If you have the course object then you have the id ($course->id probably). From that you can get the course context and from that you can get the people enrolled with the teacher role. You may only have one teacher but Moodle can have many, so the function will return a list of user objects. To get the name do something like...

if ($users) {
    $teachername = fullname($users[0]);
}

Thanks Howard Miller...

I have another question....

How is posible that in module Avaible course can get the course name and the correspond teacher?? (image 1)

This method can be used to show it in the header of the course?


 $coursename = $chelper->get_course_formatted_name($course);

        $coursenamelink = html_writer::link(new moodle_url('/course/view.php', array('id' => $course->id)),

                                            $coursename, array('class' => $course->visible ? '' : 'dimmed'));

        $content .= html_writer::tag($nametag, $coursenamelink, array('class' => 'coursename'));

        // If we display course in collapsed form but the course has summary or course contacts, display the link to the info page.

        $content .= html_writer::start_tag('div', array('class' => 'moreinfo'));

        if ($chelper->get_show_courses() < self::COURSECAT_SHOW_COURSES_EXPANDED) {

            if ($course->has_summary() || $course->has_course_contacts() || $course->has_course_overviewfiles()) {

                $url = new moodle_url('/course/info.php', array('id' => $course->id));

                $image = html_writer::empty_tag('img', array('src' => $this->output->pix_url('i/info'),

                    'alt' => $this->strings->summary));

                $content .= html_writer::link($url, $image, array('title' => $this->strings->summary));

                // Make sure JS file to expand course content is included.

                $this->coursecat_include_js();

            }

        }

        $content .= html_writer::end_tag('div'); // .moreinfo


Thanks again Howard Miller...
