Part of set Auto attendance.
This autoattend block is modification of the Attendance block by Mr. Dmitry Pupinin (v1.0.8, 2007).
In addition to the original manual mode, automatic attendance mode (from the access log of Moodle) and semi-automatic attendance mode (user clicks a link) are also possible.

These Auto Attendance block and module are modification of the Attendance block/module of Mr. Dmitry Pupinin (v1.0.8, 2007).
In addition to the manual attendance mode to take attendance manually the original, automatic attendance mode (from the access log of Moodle) and semi-automatic attendance mode (user clicks a link) are also possible.
I strongly recommend a combination of Auto Attendance block (autoattend) and Auto Attendance module (autoattendmod).

Our network staff has given me a much simpler way of writing Allowed IP (10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0) which works for us. So I am pulling the request to give the Allowed IP field more characters.
This might still be an issue for others - but my problem is solved. I am sorry if I caused you to work on this issue.
I corrected allow IP filed length to 250 now.
But it was very easy work!
Thanks.
I'm doing some test of the newest version of your plugin, specially the new backup feature (Great!!). Now backing up a course with autoattend activities doen't break the grades, congrats!! But i can't get the autoattend sessions to be restored into the new course ¿?¿?
The autoattend block and activity are restored succesfully but empty: autoattend item in gradebook is there with all users grades, but there is no sessions defined in the block in the restored course, and there is no data about users states in each session.
Tested in Moodle v2.6
please check line 43 of [MOODLE]/blocks/autoattend/backup/moodle2/backup_autoattend_stepslib.php. I'm not sure of the meaning of "backupblock" field in DB, but its value in the table autoattendmod is always 0. In the line 43 there is an "if" that aborts all backup process returning an (almost) empty xml.
...
36 //$block = $DB->get_record('block_instances', array('id' => $this->task->get_blockid()));
37 $courseid = $this->get_courseid();
38 $backup_block = $DB->get_field('autoattendmod', 'backupblock', array('course'=>$courseid));
39
40 //
41 // Define each element separated
42 $autoattend = new backup_nested_element('autoattend', array('id'), null);
43 if (!$backup_block) return $this->prepare_block_structure($autoattend);
...
Removing the "!" in line 43, Moodle executes all backup script correctly.
Can you confirm this fix??
Regards.
Autoattend's main data is managed by Autoattend Block rather than Autoattendmod Module.
If you want to backup block data, please check "Backup of Attendance Data"
Backup of Attendance Data" is at "Setting of Autoattendmod" (module) -> "Options of Auto Attendance module"
Thanks.
Now i know what is the meaning of that field XD
Sorry for my lack of attention!
Thanks!

Thank you for your good work.
I would like to ask you what do you do in relation to summer time (daylight saving time)?
I discovered that if I create sessions that - cross the date where we are supposed to reset the clock - all sessions are pushed one hour forward.
(That is in the Fall - in the spring sessions will be moved one hour later than intended).
If I take this into account and compensate this hour - will the "session start" remain correct when we pass 30th of October 2016?
Thank you!
Thanks.
