Exporting Forum content to a spreadsheet

Exporting Forum content to a spreadsheet

Hello All,

I am sure that in a previous institution I was able to export the content of Forums (student posts, etc.) to a spreadsheet format in order to be able to have a record, see how many posts were made by students, the content, etc.

I am aware that posts can be graded in the Forum itself, but I am trying to recreate what I did before because it was much more practical for me.

However, I cannot find a way to do this. Could it be an admin function that needs to be turned on?

Thanks for any pointers,

Julian

I don't think that there is any way in the standard Moodle to export posts to a spreadsheet.

However, there are some alternatives:

1) Use the Advanced search tool to get to the desired information (statistics.)
2) Write custom SQL.
