Thanks for the bug report.

That is certainly incorrect.
I have now fixed the problem.
To fix it, please uncheck "Use Timeoffset of the Timezone" in the block settings or download a newer version using SVN.

# svn co http://www.nsl.tuis.ac.jp/svn/php/autoattend/trunk/ autoattend

Thanks.


Correct code
--------------------------------------------------------------
$TIME_OFFSET = 0;
if (property_exists($CFG, 'use_timeoffset')) {
if ($CFG->use_timeoffset) {
//
$ver = jbxl_get_moodle_version();
if ($ver>=2.7) {
if (is_numeric($CFG->timezone)) {
$TIME_OFFSET = $CFG->timezone*ONE_HOUR_TIME;
}
else {
$dtz = new DateTimeZone($CFG->timezone);
$now = new DateTime("now", $dtz);
$TIME_OFFSET = $dtz->getOffset($now);
}
}
} else {
if (jbxl_is_admin($USER->id)) {
if (is_numeric($USER->timezone) && $USER->timezone!=99) {
$TIME_OFFSET = $USER->timezone*ONE_HOUR_TIME;
}
else if (is_numeric($CFG->timezone) && $CFG->timezone!=99) {
$TIME_OFFSET = $CFG->timezone*ONE_HOUR_TIME;
}
}
}
}
}

Thank you very much. I changed it to the new code, and it is not complaining anymore. One more question. At the beginning of the semester, I defined all sessions I would have with students. But after the time switch (winter time /summer time), those session times are wrong, and I have to fix them manually one by one. Will this behaviour continues?

Hi,
Please be more specific.
Do you mean that when you checked the summer time setting in the attendance module, and attendance block is not reflected?

Thanks.

Thanks. I did not used that summer time setting, as I recall because of some errors. Maybe this timezone error and summer time issue are connected. I will check summer time setting in my next classes and see if it is resolved.

Something is yet wrong. Every time I do something (adding sessions or changing settings), I got an error: "Otkrivena je programerska pogreška, mora ju ispraviti programer: The 'name' value must be set in other." The first part is something like "Programming error has been discovered, it must be corrected by a developer". Another issue is incorrect timing (it is closed 2h before it should), but I need more time to investigate this and I will let you know if this is something of not my fault.

About timing for sessions. They are 2h ahead, so by the time session begins, the attendance module marks it as completed. I am in the timezone of +1 (Europe/Vienna). If I want to add a session so it works correctly, I must use +2 offset. I realized that the attendance module is in line with universal time, not the local time of the server.

@Fumikazu Iseki
After investigating the incorrect time issue, I found that the above code (fix) is still not correct, since if I comment it out, the time which is used by the module is correct again.

Hello, I have noticed that sometimes this plugin does not register student attendance. We have our Moodle courses setup in a way that the students need to access their course in order to join the videoconference to attend class. We have cases where, for instance, 3 students appear as present and 2 as absent. We know for a fact that they all accessed their Moodle course. Otherwise they wouldn't have been able to join the videoconference. My question is: could this be somehow related to the Internet browser they use? (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, etc.). Thanks.

Hello, please check "Activity report" of each student. It is log of student's activities.
"User List" -> click user -> top right "Activity report"

Hi,
Could anyone update the "Source control URL" to https://github.com/moodle-fumihax/block_autoattend ?
Thanks.

Thanks.

I changed it, too.

The same error here (as @Mosaab Alsiddig).

I came across the same error. ( mod/autoattend also)

sorry.
I have re-update them now.
Thanks.
