but I haven't audited all the places where dates are used in the code, some of the local lang strings could probably be converted into using the standard core lang strings.
Your plugin is great. Congratulations.
But it would be better if the dates could be linked to the calendar or there would be a possibility to import lecture dates and times.
My university is willing to support the development of these features if you see a change to implement it.
Thanks!
Imagine that I have a Course Within this course but I have 3 Groups and want Each Take control of the United Nations Assistance Separately without seeing users when they want to select. Can you implement?
SPAIN: Hola me encanta el módulo de Asistencia Pero veo Una Pequeña limitación no se pueden dividir en Grupos.
Imaginemos Que Yo tengo un Curso Pero ese curso lo tengo en 3 Grupos y quiero Cada Uno Llevar el control de las Naciones Unidas de Asistencia por Separado y sin ver a Los Usuarios CUANDO quiero seleccionarlos. ¿Podeis implementar eso?
It also appears to be showing up in the Upcoming Events block on students pages....
I was informed today that the students attendance across 4 separate courses (which was showing up fine previously in the Attendance Block), all now say 0/0 and 0%....
The teachers are taking attendance but the link seems to be broken to the Block to pass that info on to the students pages.
Anyone else having this problem??
Are the 2 bugs related?

It also appears to be showing up in the Upcoming Events block on students pages and the notifications appear to be have been added to the Moodle Calendar (according to the 2 I just got in my inbox)

Thanks for the response. Yes, I am using the latest version of the plugin
Is there a way to remove the link between the attendance block and the calendar? Our Moodle version is 3.2.1 (Build: 20170109).
I've just installed the latest Attendance block update today so we'll see if that makes any difference as well.

On another note, this was sent to me by office admin staff in relation to the Attendance:
"Following on from our conversation yesterday, I was just wondering how possible it would be to have a percentage from total sessions from each individual group. At the moment the attendance is worked out over all sessions taken, either for that week, month or year.
For example:
If you go to the Report tab or export it all into excel, you can see the taken sessions, total sessions and percentage for all classes (See below). Is there any way for us to extract the data from just the chosen group?
So in the screenshot below I have chosen the group ‘Ballet – Chisato Ohno – F1 – Term 2.’
When you go to the summary page it says that there have been a total of 245 sessions, when actually there should only be about 18 sessions for that group. It would be great if we could see how many sessions of that group each student has been present in (so how many ballet sessions out of the 18 sessions they have been present/absent in)."
Unfortunately I can't attach the screenshot she sent due to the forum limitations here... But I think you can get the gist of what they are asking. Is this possible?
Cheers
