Hi all,
The "Partecipant" addon enable the app to view all the users enrolled into the same course.
In Moodle if I'm enrolled into a course that is tagged for "separate group", I will see only the students of the my group.
Why this "practice" is not replicated into MM?
Do you know if exists a workaround?
Many thanks, Claudio
The Mobile app uses the core_enrol_get_enrolled_users method for retrieving all the users in a course.
This method checks groups settings, so you should see only the users in groups you can see.
In the Web Interface when you see the participants list you can see them filtered by group, so maybe that's what happening in your instance (you see only the users in a group but you can select other gorups), in the app all the users are listed (without the filter possibility)

Hi Juan, it is very strange because in the App I see all the partecipants enrolled into the course even if the student is part of a group.
Also the course is tagged as: "Group mode": separate groups, "Force group mode": yes.
Should I change something into the role permission?
Thanks, Claudio
Hi all, I made all the possible tries but MM2 still show me all the partecipants enrolled into the course (even if the students are in different groups).
In the Web Interface one student see the partecipant list fitered by group. So I think that the permissions are properly setted.
Any thoughts? Regards
Hi all, if I use the console inspector during the fetching of the users (on my moodle instance) I see always:
0/13/2015 3:40:29 PM $mmaParticipants: Get participants for course 4 starting at 0

Viceversa, if I try it on school.demo.moodle.net

Why my site force the compatibility method?
Thanks
What moodle version is your site? I assume that demo site is on 2.9, so if yours is older that might be why. Also do you have the moodle mobile extras plugin installed on your moodle site?
One of the app developers will likely know more, but putting your site's moodle version number in quickly makes narrowing things down easier.
Hi Dave, sure. My moodle instance is the 2.8.5+ (Build: 20150424)
I installed the latest version of moodle_mobile_additional_features (build:2014101012).
Do you mean that the app use "compatibility" calls only when it use the WS declared into the additional_features plugin?
Thanks
Hi Claudio,
that "compatibility" thing means that your Moodle version lacks a certain WS, but the local_mobile addon has it. In your case, the WS core_user_view_user_list was introduced in Moodle 2.9. In any case, that WS is just for adding a log entry saying that you have viewed a user, so it shouldn't affect the participants list.
I'll perform some tests to see if I can reproduce this issue. It could take a while though, I'm pretty busy atm
Cheers,
Dani
Hi Dani,
Many thanks for the well explanation. Now it is more clear. Looking forward to fix the issue with the group/partecipants.
Regards, Claudio
Hi All,
any update about the partecipant view? Even if I set the course to separate group, into the MM (2.3,2.4,2.5) all the partecipant can see all the course partecipants instead of the people of the same group.
I tried it with different versions of MM and different version of Moodle (2.7,28).
Is it working for you?
Thanks in advance
Hi Claudio,
this has been fixed but on Moodle site. To fix this you'll have to install one of the following Moodle versions: 3.0, 2.9.3, 2.8.9, 2.7.11.
Kind regards,
Dani
Hi Daniel,
many thanks for the update. Unfortunately I can't update the production environemnt (2.8.5).
Do you think that I can't apply a patch to this version?
Best Regards
