We desperately need the username to be a part of the exported datasets again. In former Versions of Moodle, there was a column "username" on the "detailed"-sheet of the Excel file. The new export formats such as .csv are great, but some automated processing of the results that we are using rely heavily on the username. Is there any way to get it back? Thanks in advance!
I had not noticed that before. They actually took out the overview page as well which I think I like...I am guessing you would have to hack the core files to get the username back. I don't see any settings for that. I would also suggest adding a tracker request.
Thanks for your reply. I have added a tracker request as you suggested: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-55317
According to the tracker, this is fixed, but even with the required permissions set, still can't export data with the username field.
Actually, it is not. The issue is closed, but it is not fixed. On the contrary, it says explicitly that there won't be a fix, unfortunately. Exporting the username seems to be regarded as a security hole or privacy issue.
Oh I see. I though this "However in 3.1 feedback export all user identity fields are exported if the current user has 'moodle/site:viewuseridentity' capability." meant that it should work.
Hi,
Upgrade moodle from 2.8.3 to moodle 3.2.1
and missing username to datasets in exported files.
I really need username to do some work.
If anybody help me where to hack, then I can hack and download the csv file with username. I will delete the hacked code soon after download file.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you . Hacked it and find the solution.
Hacked file:
www/mod/feedback/classes/responses_table.php
function init(){
/* hacked below 3 lilnes. just add: username with existing code */
$tablecolumns = array('userpic', 'fullname', 'username');
$tableheaders = array(get_string('userpic'), get_string('fullnameuser'), get_string('username'));
$fields = 'c.id, c.timemodified as completed_timemodified, c.courseid, u.username, '.$ufields;
}
Its temporary solution. If that helps some people.
