What version of Moodle is this?
Moodle 2.7. Any idea what may be the issue? How to fix it? This wasn't happening in the past 2 to 3 weeks but only now. Its urgent. Pls help. Thanks
In a default setup, students can only reply to a question posted by a teacher. Then the editing period must elapse before they can see other students' replies. Here are some questions for you.
Editing time = 30 min
Permissions have not been changed.
So this means students can still only see others reply if they attempt to post, right? But this is not the case, students can see all replies posted to the teacher before they post anything themselves. Is this a bug?
Thanks
I have not the 2.7 branch. if it is a bug, it may be with the particular vesrion you are using. It has worked as expected for me since 1.9 through 2.8.
Just to rule it out, can you go back into the Forum settings and double check it is a Q and A forum and not a standard forum? I don' t know of any bugs reported with the 2.7 Q and A forum - although that doesn't mean there isn't a bug; we just need to eliminate every alternative. Does the course have guest access enabled?
Thanks. I found out it was not a bug but the permissions issue. All good now.
Coming back to this thread to help Google if anyone finds this in the future: there is a capability Capabilities/mod/forum:viewqandawithoutposting which, if set to Allow for the students, will mean they always see the posts even when you are not expecting them to. Worth checking.
