We are on Moodle 3.5 with Adaptable version 1.7.3.
When returning to the normal role when using the "Switch role to.." function, the user is brought to his course list instead of to the course he was viewing. Is there a way to fix this so the user is redirected back to the course he was in instead of to his course list? Thanks!
Can't replicate it. Switching roles doesn't change the page you are.
Can you explain from which role you switch to which one?
Hi Fernando. Logged in as an instructor of a specific course, I then switch my role to student to do content review. Then when I am ready to return to my normal role as instructor, instead of taking my back to the course page, when I click to the "return to my normal role" it shows me the list of courses instead.
Can't replicate it.Adaptable returns always to the same page.
Please, can you test using Clean instead Adaptable?
Switched to Clean and did not have the same problem. When returning to normal role, I am in the course I am viewing. Switched back to Adaptable and again had the problem of being brought to list of courses instead of the course I was viewing. Got this result whether I used the "return to normal role" link at the top banner or using the link from the dropdown under the username. Would a screencast help to show you the issue?
Can you try to replicate it in our demo site: https://adaptable.ws/demo
The demos site is updated with moodle and Adaptable versions and looks like it works well switching the roles.
Just tried it on the demo site and it does the same thing we are experiencing in our instance. It takes me back to a list of courses instead of the How to Moodle course I was in as instructor viewing as a student.
Can you explain the steps to follow to replicate this issue? Please explain any change you applied to the site including roles or custom code
On the other hand, try to update Adaptable to version 1.8
I updated the theme to version 1.8 and then tested again, but got the same results.
Steps taken:
1) Login using an account
2) Click on course where user is assigned Instructor role
3) Hover on the dropdown menu in the upper right corner and click on "Switch role to..."
4) Select "Student"
5) View course as student
6) Hover on dropdown menu in upper right corner and click on "Return to my normal role"
7) Course list page opens
*When I click on the browser's back button (tested on Chrome and Firefox to same results), I am taken back to the course in the instructor role
No big changes to site - I don't know code so I have not added any custom code save for some custom CSS I added:
.editor_atto_menu .open ul.dropdown-menu {
right:inherit;
}
.btn, .btn a {
background-color: #848484;
}
We do use custom roles and have 23 total.
But I did get the sameon your demo site (https://adaptable.ws/demo/). I used the steps above after logging in as a teacher. When I clicked on return to my normal role after switching to a student role, I was directed to the course list instead of the course I was viewing.
Thank you. We will investigate it and you can follow up the issue from our repo: https://bitbucket.org/covuni/moodle-theme_adaptable/issues/985/return-to-normal-role-doesnt-returns-to
