I'm not sure how it's happen, but my assignment 2.2 plugin has become disable. Since the only action is "uninstall" on plugins overview page, so I decided to uninstall this plugin anyway.
Then, what is the replacement of assignment plugin on moodle 3.6.1? How do I get it?
Thanks in advance.
Assignment 2.2 has not been used for some time. You should have upgraded to the regular assignment plugin several releases ago. You should not need to install anything else - the new Assignment is part of core and already included.
How can I access the new assignment? I cannot find it anywhere... O
Please point me in the right direction. Thx.
As you can see as attached, I don't have Assignment when trying to add activities or resources.
How do I reinstall or re-enable it?
Check Site admin -> Plugins -> Activity modules -> Manage activities, and endure that it is enabled.
You may as well check to see if the assignment folder is in your moodle.
D:\Moodle\server\moodle\mod\assignment
There's no assignment folder in my moodle.
How can I get it? Do I need to reinstall from scratch, or can I copy from another moodle instance?
Think you can take a chance here and download a copy of moodle 3.6 - which is now 3.6.3+ - your version 3.6.1.
Unzip it locally. Find the mod directory in the un-archived code on a local machine.
Should look like:
[root@server mod]# ls
assign choice forum label quiz survey workshop
assignment data glossary lesson README.txt upgrade.txt
book feedback imscp lti resource url
chat folder index.html page scorm wiki
Note there are 2 ... the 'assignment' directory is the old version. The 'assign' directory is the newer.
Upload both 'assignment' and 'assign' or the one you are missing. Check ownerships/permissions to match other directories/files in mod.
Let's hope that moodle recognizes there is something to install as one doesn't normally re-installs core components this way.
This is somewhat guessing it will work as there is version file in everything now. So the version file in the one you will upload is actually newer than all the rest of the mods on your system.
You might want to purge caches.
Lesson one should take away from this 'experience' ... don't delete core mods ... if you don't want to use them, hide them instead of deleting. BTW, could be the initial installation of moodle really had issues.
If that doesn't work, one will have to do a minor update to make sure **all** the versions of code are the same.
Best of luck!

Nice to see cli again.
Do you think it's reasonable to assume that whoever wanted the attendance plugin just overwrote assign?
Just curious.
I'm not sure, maybe not.
In my case, I manually installing theme by copying folder mytheme from another instance to theme folder. Possibly this is ruining assignment plugins, I don't know
Thanks Ken, it works
What I did is:
1. Copy folder `assign` and `assignment` from another moodle instance.
2. Paste to ../moodle-installation-path/mod/
3. Recheck folder permission
3. Purge all cache (Site Administration > Development > Purge Caches)
4. Go to: Site Administration > Notifications ---> then start upgrade.
5. Done.
