Hi Mary,
I guess it might make sense to change the color of the "Replies" color to something else, like blue or something, then for the "Unread" column maybe use a little bit stronger red color or higher contrast type of color so that it would stand out. Just my humble opinion.. thanks!
Can you also share with me about which file (and where in the codes) you will touch to get this done? I want to learn more about this as well. Thank you for your help!
Hi Dave, you didn't say which version of Moodle you were using. If you are using Moodle 1.9.x, you will need to install a 3rd party plugin called "Activity Locking" which will allow you to do that. If you are using Moodle 2.x, then Moodle has something similar build-in now called "Conditional activities."
Now that said, I found them to work differently. Somehow I had a Moodle site which I upgraded from 1.9 to 2.4. There is only one course on this Moodle site and the course has one SCORM package and a certificate (using certificate module). When it was on 1.9, I was able to set it up so that ONLY after the students completed the SCORM package course, then they can click into the certificate link to get the certificate. However, after I upgraded to 2.4 and switched from "activity locking" (no longer available in 2.4) to "conditional activities," I could NOT set it up this way - to force students to complete the SCORM course first before they can click on the "certificate" link. It seems that the new "conditional activity" module is NOT able to directly communicate with the SCORM package and know whether students only clicked on ONE page in the SCORM package, or they have completed the SCORM package. Does anyone know why is that and how to fix this issue? Please let us know. Thank you for your help!
It really sounds crazy that just to hide one or two items in the breadcrumb we have to dig into the code levels to do this. Is there a "feature request' ticket somewhere in the Moodle bug tracker that talks about implementing this so that admin users can easily customize this at the UI level? Please let me know and I'm going to vote for that ticket. Thanks!
For my case, I JUST want to hide the "course category" in the breadcrumb and that's it. For example:
In Moodle 1.9 we used to see this type of breadcrumb:
CCC > PM (course name) > SCORMs/AICCs > Course Content
Now on Moodle 2.4 we are seeing this breadcrumb:
Home > My courses > [Course Category] > PM (course name) > / > Course Content
1. Is there a easy way for me to just remove that [Course Category] from the breadcrumb in 2.4?
2. Why is there an empty breadcrumb for the SCORMs/AICCs?? Is there a easy way to fix this (hopefully just remove it all together instead of showing '/', or at least let's put back the SCORMs/AICCs in the breadcrumb.
And yes this is a course using SCORM package. Thanks again!
Yes I'm glad that I found this old discussion.
We just had a case that the instructor setup an "upload a single file" type of assignment with both "Allow resubmitting" and "Prevent late submission" set to NO. The instructor did set up a due date for this assignment though. When one student submitted twice (one before the due date, the other after the due date), Moodle ONLY kept the time stamp (for the assignment view) for the 2nd submission so the instructor thought that the student was turning in late and gave him late penalty. The student was so mad and claimed that he did submit the assignment BEFORE the due date. Then we looked into the course "report" (log), and it did show that he uploaded the assignment twice (one before due date the other is not). However, there is no way we can tell whether his first submission was uploaded successfully, and why he wanted to submit the same assignment for the 2nd time (before the teacher started grading). Any thoughts or comments about such scenario? Is the latest Moodle 2.4.x and 2.5.x still behave the same way?? Thanks!
While Googl'ing I found this old thread. Just curious, did this patch actually get implemented in Moodle 2.4.x and 2.5.x? Is it possible to implement some sort of course size quota policy in 2.4 and 2.5? Thanks!
