    sure - personally I think this should be a feature within Moodle core - allowing us to hide events from particular modules, I'm not sure if there is an existing tracker issue for that but there is a lot of work going on at the moment which is adding even more events into the calendar - see: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-55611 (make sure you login to the tracker when viewing that as the linked bugs only show when logged in)

    @Zeid - That's not something that is currently supported. I would like to improve the reports to allow better filtering/searching at some point though. Pull requests or funding are always welcome.

    For some reason Attendance did not show in Calendar over the last five months, but it does now. Is there a way to remove it? It does clutter the calendar and since we've disabled student ability to take their own attendance, it's not relevant to them. Please advise, thanks. smile

    Clay - try looking at the admin settings and you might find something relevant: admin > activities > attendance

    Hello,

    There's quite too much information for the students on the attendance block.

    Is it possible tor filter the stats? If not, is it possible to segregate them. My client doesn't want students to be confused with too many numbers.

    Regards

    Hi Dan. We are running Moodle 3.6.5 and are getting this error. Do you know how we can resolve this?

    sorry to hassle...
    do you know of an compatibility issues with Moodle 3.9 with this plugin?
    I suspect that, with the broad compatibility (3.4 thru 3.8) of the current version (3.2.4) "probably not" is the answer.
    Seeking confirmation / clarification / reassurance smile
    advTHANKSance,

    I'm not aware of any issues. I haven't flagged it as ready for 3.9 due to a behat test failure that i cant reproduce when running the steps manually - I'm hoping to find some time in the next month to chase that down. But pull requests are always welcome!!!

    Hello Dan, I can't find the Attendance Block in the list of Blocks. I've downloaded the plugin, moodle 3.9. Many thanks. Additionally, we'll probably need a specifiic report and we can fund a development.

    this Block is an optional extra - you must have the attendance activity installed as well. For installation help, the best place to ask for help is here:

    If you would like to fund development I work for the Moodle Partner Catalyst IT, feel free to get in touch privately for information on our rates.
