Can't add group events

Can't add group events

Hi All

Ive got a course with 3 teachers each in charge of a group. However when i sign in as a teacher and try and add a group event to the course it doesnt accept it. Just says "Now event for this day". Any other type of event, course and user etc works fine. Anyone got any ideas why?

Thanks

Neil

Got the same issue here. User, course, and site (admin) events work fine; group events are not visible. They are in the database (MySQL), just not displaying on the frontend. We're using 1.8.2+ (2007021520).

This happens in both old and new (before 1.6 -> 1.8 upgrade) courses. Only MDL-9059 comes close to this issue, but that bug states admins can see events - however, no one can see the group events in what we're experiencing (admin, teacher, nor student). Roles are set to allow manage entries.

Definitely stumped and need some advice on this one!

Seeing also MDL-10353 issues in the calendar whereas the calendar wants to display "all courses" rather than the course in which you are browsing.

The groupid=83 in mdl_group for the course in which I am working.

If I change in mdl_event from groupid=83 to groupid=43, it works and the group event appears in the calendar within the class.

mdl_group id=43 is another group in another class.

If I create a group event for group 43 in the class where group 43 exists, it places the event in the course where group 83 exists. And after adding the event, it takes me directly to the calendar for the gid83 course though the breadcrumb (navigation) indicates I'm still in the course where gid43 exists.

I hope I communicated that effectively... apologies if not. I can really use some help -- I'm at a loss!

Try looking at MDL-10578, as I reckon that is at least part of the problem.

I cannot access mdl-10578; is that the right project key?

MDL-10578 is the Moodle Tracker key, and can be accessed directly or found in the Moodle project under the Groups component, as the issue is really a group as opposed to calendar issue.

Here's what I'm seeing now: It seems 'somewhere' (I don't know where) it's trying to call the id rather then groupid in mdl_groups_courses_groups.
