We have recently upgraded our university moodle site from 1.6 to 1.8 and I am only today realizing that the Activity Report facility seems to have disappeared from student mode.
Looking forward to help on how to restore this facility.

More info about this problem (using 1.8.2).
Logged in as admin, at Site level, I edit the Student capabilities as follows and get these results.
Case 1

logged in as Student inside a course, click on Participants (if Participants block has been added by teacher), on list of participants, click on any name, including my own name, then you see the tabs: Profile / Forum posts / Blog / Activity reports
then click on Activity Reports and get error message :

logged in as Student inside a course, click on Participants (if Participants block has been added by teacher), on list of participants, click on any name, including my own name, then you see the tabs: Profile / Forum posts / Blog / Activity reports
then click on Activity Reports and you can view the activity reports of everyone enrolled in the course, including the teacher!
---------------
What is missing is something between the two, i.e. the ability for a student to see their own Activity report and their own report only -not others'.
What is also missing is the Activity Report link in the student's Administration block, as illustrated in my previous screenshot (from moodle 1.6).
Would be grateful to anyone finding a solution out of this dilemma.

Hi Joseph,
Administration -> Users -> Permissions -> Define roles
Edit Students role
Setting
See user activity reports
to Allow and
In Core system
View reports
to Allow
might be enough
No, Mauno, this is my case #2: student can see ALL activity reports!

Strange - it works with my moodle 1.8 so there must be some other "role mixture"...I will check all my settings if I could find some explanation.
Yes, please, Mauno, it would be nice if you could find an explanation to this strange behaviour.
Thanks in advance,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Did you make changes to the course roles? Make sure the student roles are all set to inherit. Then, under Admin>Users>Permissions click on Student, hit the Reset to Defaults button. Then, make sure Show Activity Reports is set to Yes under your course settings. Students should see the activity report tab in their profile (only their own) . Also, remember to logout before testing changes to roles. I don't know why the link isn't in the admin block anymore
-- but the code is still there. So, in blocks>admin>block_admin.php delete the two // in front of lines 179-182 under "/// View own activity report".

Many thanks for giving the perfect answer to my query. I had not noticed the (new to 1.7/1.8?) "Show Activity Reports" setting in the Course settings. I am surprised that it is set to No by default, hence all my problems.
As regards the missing link(s) in the student Administration block, here is a copy of my bug report MDL-11382, which I encourage moodlers to vote for:
View own activity report and Edit your own profile should be re-activated in Administration block. These two links have been commented out in 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9, preceded with this comment: "Should the following two be in this block?" Unfortunately they have never been re-located to any other block so far. Having only recently upgraded from 1.6 to 1.8 I am missing this link very much and I am surprised that no-one has ever raised the question since 1.7 was introduced... anyway, please can someone *urgently* comment out those lines in in blocks>admin>block_admin.php to restore those links?
All the best,
Joseph
