  I have the old version of the attendance module. It has been working well. If I upgrade, am I not going to be able to work with the attendance records I already have? I have not upgraded yet because I am afraid that I won't be able to view attendance reports generated by the other plugin.

  HI Heather,
  
  the code does perform an upgrade/migration of the data but the version here in the plugins db doesn't clear the course cache after doing the migration so the old content won't appear unless the course cache is cleared.
  
  The latest code in my github repo does clear the course cache though and I'll be updating the code here in the plugins db with that version sometime this week.
  (but - always good practice to run test-upgrades on a test system before running upgrades on your production sites to make sure)

  I have previously downloaded this module and had some difficulty. Having identified what I believe to be the problem, I tried to uninstall the module & block and then hoped to reinstall correctly. I receive an error message that tells me that a mod_table has previously been installed and a new installation cannot take place. Is there a way to completely uninstall all evidence of the module and block and restart the installation sequence?

  Hi Dan,
  
  The most recent version of this plugin, 20130700302 was released on March 15, 2014. It does not include the following string definition that was added in February 12, 2014:
  
  $string['attendance:addinstance'] = 'Add a new attendance block';
  
  See the following page for details:
  
  https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-block_attendance/commit/2a3c323c0590879c29d3c540f2bffcd96d75bea0
  
  Could you please add this string to the plugin available for download on this Moodle plugins site?
  
  Best regards,
  
  Michael

  Would not it be nice to celebrate the Moodle 3.0 release by adding some longer description here?

  Thanks David - it's pretty simple but I've added a longer description

  I have changed the code a bit in order to support the computation of max_grade based on the values of the set of status for each session of the students, instead of just using the amount of sessions multiplied by the value of the first status.
  
  This allow for status set with different max values to be taken into account when computing both the max_grade and the relative score.
  
  Anyone interested in such feature?

  grades management in attendance could do with some further improvements - I'm always keen to receive well written pull-requests that improve things! - there are a few grading related bugs in the issue tracker here that would be good to keep in mind with any changes:
  https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-mod_attendance/labels/bug
  
  It would be great to see a pull request to improve some of these!

  Would it be possible to add in a filter option to view single attendance per class? The teachers can download a students attendance, but it shows the attendance for all classes on the course rather than just their own module. When a student has many classes the teachers find it impossible to make sense of it when they are doing one to ones with students.
  Thanks
