Thank you Ray. I can confirm that selecting 'Yes' in the 'Hide picture' menu within the 'Edit group settings' removes the group icon from forum posts.

So having to do this for every group in a course is going to be a pain. And not just new courses. This new 'feature/bug' means that all forum posts in existing courses are now displaying group icons if those course contain one or more groups. I hope this can be fixed.

Moodle in English -> Forum -> How to remove group icon images forum forum posts

I have just upgraded a Moodle site from 3.7.2 to 3.8.1+, and noticed that forum posts now display an image (icon?) for each group that the poster belongs to. How can I hide/remove these 'group icons'? To be clear, I am looking at posts made prior to the upgrade, which at the time did not display the 'group icons' but now do. The only change has been the upgrade to 3.8.1.

In many of courses within the above mentioned Moodle site, students belong to multiple groups within a course. This causes a large number of 'group icons' to be displayed down the left-hand side of every post. This will be particularly be annoying when posts are short; the 'group icons' go well beyond where the message text ends, resulting in a lot of empty space. I have attached a image to display how this looks.

forum post with lots of group icons and empty space

This did not happen with 3.7. No 'group icons' were displayed in forum posts. However, it seems that this has been an issue in the past for other users:

https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=349205

and here

https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=378837

Note that the displaying of 'group icons' happens in forums even when ' Group mode' is set to 'No groups' in the forum settings. Also, this happens with either of the themes used in the Moodle system; Boost or Fordson.

So, how can I either:

  1. not display the 'group icons' at all?
  2. or, display the 'group icons' horizontally as they are displayed in this moodle.org site?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I can also confirm that, having just upgraded to 3.7.2 from 3.6.3, course creators are no longer automatically assigned the role of teacher in the courses they create. I hope this bug (MDL-66683?) can be fixed soon.

Hello Mary,

Thanks for your reply. Until the bug is fixed fixed, I'll manually assign the role of Teacher to Course creators.

Hello,

Since upgrading to 3.7.2+ from 3.6.3, users with the role of Course creator are not automatically being enrolled as Teachers in the course they have created.

This is despite creatornewroleid being set to Teacher (editingteacher).

See: https://docs.moodle.org/37/en/Course_creator_role#The_course_creator_role

Could this issue be related to this issue? https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=391031#p1576205
