  No red colours when order = sorting in course
  
  Hi there
  
  We have some open courses, where we set individual assignment deadlines for each student.
  
  Besides that, we have a lot of activiteres between assignment where we don't set deadlines.(and it would be too much workload if we should set individual dates for these aswell)
  
  When we set the ordering af "Expected coompletion date" all the assignment are grouped in one end of the progressbar, wich confuses the students.
  
  In this ordering, assigment turns red when the expected hand is passed (as we want)
  
  When we change the sorting mode to 'sorting in course' there are no red markings on the assignments where the deadlines are passed.
  
  I suggest the use of red colours in both sorting modes, so teachers and students can see if assignment is not handed in before deadline.
  
  Could that be possible?
  
  Yours
  Lars Kristensen

  Hi, Lars.
  
  Two options...
  
  Change the ordering so it doesn't use expected completion times. It can follow the order of items in the course, assuming you have ordered appropriately.
  
  Another option would be to change the colours, which can be done in the global settings for the block.

  @Michael de Raadt
  
  The problem is , when we use 'sorting in course' the activities doesn't turn red when the due date is passed - they stay blue nomatter what.
  
  And changing colours globally doesn't affect it.
  
  Another problem we encountered:
  
  The 'now' date is controlled by the 'expect completed on' (under Activity completion)
  
  And not the 'Due Date' under assignment settings.
  
  We use individual deadlines for each student with the override feature under assignments https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/Using_Assignment#Overriding_assignment_deadlines
  
  But the individueal deadlines doesn't affect the progressbar
  
  The students can not see thier own individual deadline in the progressbar.

  Hello,
  
  I would like to extend the progress class (completion/classes/progress.php) that currently calculates the progress based on the number of completed activities.
  I would like to introduce the concept of duration for each activity and once the activity is done it could calculate the percentage of progress based on that value.
  Example:
  activity1: duration 10 (Done)
  activity2: duration 3 (To be Done)
  
  Currently, the progress percentage is 50%, instead, it should be 10 / (10+3) =  76% since the duration of the first activity is longer.
  Is there any possibility to extend this feature using a local plugin? How should I name the class and where should I place it inside the plugin folder?
  I have already added a custom field to hold the duration value for each activity and directly modified the progress.php file but I would like to produce a clean solution, by writing a local plugin.
  
  If you consider this feature as a candidate improvement to be included in the core I would be happy to contribute and to receive suggestions on how to include it.
  
  Thank you,
  
  Albana

  I have a bunch of quizzes that for some reason display with a yellow status 'Not completed (Submitted) and no matter how I change the settings it does not seem to update the status. The Completion Tracking settings are set to: "Student must view the activity to complete it" and "Student must receive a grade to complete this activity". Any idea how to fix this issue so that it shows as completed or what is causing the yellow status.

  Is there any way to exclude users with a Suspended course status from being shown the list? (I know that I could create a different role for them and do it that way, but that seems unnecessary when there is already an option to change their status from 'active' to 'suspended')

  I'm using moodle 4 dev and got an error notification 'Exception - Class 'core_user\fields' not found".
  How can I solve it? Please help me.

  Hello, it would be interesting if the visualization of the pending forums to be qualified is implemented in the block, since only those that have a qualification with an assigned color appear.

  We love using the progress completion bar for our students. We have our parents login in to an associated account so they can track student progress as well. Is there any way to get that progress bar to show for the parents of an associated student? At present, when the parent's login we can only get the parent progress bar to show - which is not particularly helpful. Getting that student progress to show next to the grade for each student would be AWESOME.

  This has been suggested before and I agree that it would be great to show the block to mentors. That would be especially useful for K-12 were the mentor role is used for parents. If someone is not an enrolled student, but is a mentor of a student, it would be good to show the mentee's content. It wouldn't require too much checking to establish the identity of the student and after that, showing that user's progress is the same in code. It might be a bit more complicated on Home/Dashboard.
  
  I'm not in a position to develop that any more, but hopefully Jono can look into that. Shelby: you might want to write this up in the Moodle Tracker on on the plugin's Git repo.

  Yes. This would be a brilliant addition. This would really help us as well

  @Steyn Grobler: What PHP version is being used? I presume PHP 8.x to be getting that error, because <= 7.4 doesn't fail in that way for me. Either way, as a workaround try changing `method_exists($cm->url, 'out')` to `is_a($cm->url, 'moodle_url')` on lib.php:306.
