Hi, everyone. I installed both attforblock and attendance programs. However, I found the following strings on the moodle course:
modulenameplural and modulename
I read the attendance forums and I found how to fix this problem. But, after I moved the attendance and afforblock files into moodle/lang/en_utf8/
It still appears on the screen modulename
Any ideas ?
TIA

Greetings, Monico!
I believe you might have misunderstood the installation instructions.
The name of the block is attendance. The attendance folder goes in moodle/blocks
The name of the module is attforblock. The attforblock folder goes in moodle/mod
The lang folder content goes in moodle/lang/and whatever language pack you are using.
Then you have to go to the admin menu and click on "notifications" in order to trigger the database changes.
You should not put the block and module files in the language folder.
If I misunderstood your post, I apologize!

Hi, Wyatt. I appreciate your time to help on this. I read your comment, I reviewed my post information and I found that I wrote something wrong in the last line, I meant:
I put the lang folder content into the /lang/en_utf8, but the following string stills appear on the moodle course
modulename
Cheers

These are the help files (inside the language folder)
My recollection is that the moodle core has an attendance folder, so that is why it looks like there are two different ones. But I am not 100% sure! Dmitry's attendance block is the one called block_attendance.
If you have the language files in the right place, I cannot think what might be causing the string problem. Mine does work properly!

This might sound silly, but did you view the contents of the block_attendance.php file in lang/en_utf8? It should look like this:
$string['Aacronym'] = 'A';
$string['Afull'] = 'Absent';
$string['Eacronym'] = 'E';
$string['Efull'] = 'Excused';
$string['Lacronym'] = 'L';
$string['Lfull'] = 'Late';
$string['Pacronym'] = 'P';
$string['Pfull'] = 'Present';
$string['acronym'] = 'Acronym';
$string['add'] = 'Add';
There is one thing that puzzles me, however. The files in en_utf8/help/block_attendance should all be html files, not php files. In your screen capture, they appear to be php files.
