This block allows instructors to control AI functionalities inside a course. By default this plugin disables all access to AI functionalities via the local_ai_manager plugin for all AI tools which are accessible inside the course unless the teacher enables the functionalities. The teacher itself (usually having the capability to use the control center) of course will not be restricted. This plugin is only compatible with the AI Manager plugin (local_ai_manager) and does not work with the moodle core AI subsystem.

    I have the block installed, enabled, but I don't see it in the list of blocks within the course to add it to the page.

    You will find it in the course settings, section "AI functionalities", see https://github.com/bycs-lp/moodle-block_ai_control?tab=readme-ov-file#using-it-in-a-course

    We disabled the possibility to add it via the block menu on purpose, because our users were not able to find it.

    Unfortunately, the AI ​​Control Center is not displayed to the student in Moodle version 5.1.1+.

    It is configured to display in AI Functionalities, but even selecting all checkboxes and checking all display options, the block is not shown.

    This also prevents the Chat from working, as it returns an error:

    "An error occurred with code 403

    AI functionalities are not available in this course. The course does not have an AI control center or the AI functionalities are disabled in the control center."

    I'm trying to get the AI ​​Control Center and Chat Bot working, but there seems to be a problem with the plugin in the AI ​​Control Center or somewhere in the AI ​​Tools Administration.

    This plugin has a great chance of being the best AI plugin for Moodle, but it needs this small code fix.

    Thank you for reaching out! The AI control center works flawlessly on Moodle 5.1 for us. You realize the control center is a block, thus will show in the block drawer? After enabling it in the course settings the teacher will still have to enable the AI functionalities in the control center block. Enabling it in the course setting will add this block to the course page in the block drawer which you will have to expand to see the control center. If this is not the issue you are facing, please try to provide further information. Please provide a screenshot from your course settings and the expanded block drawer.

    Thank you. Yes, it's a block, but it doesn't appear in the block options.
    I've already enabled it in the course settings, but it doesn't show up. I've already expanded it, but I can't find the control center. It really doesn't exist.

    When I'm a teacher, everything works fine:

    https://prnt.sc/LrbtrhM0fzvO

    But in the student profile, it doesn't appear, it shows an error:

    https://prnt.https://moodle.org/plugins/block_ai_control#sc/f2n3gi35_177

    The error says that it's necessary to configure the AI ​​block, but the block doesn't appear to be selected when we add a new block.
    Can you help us please?
