    A new version of the plugin was released a month ago (15th February) and it should work with the most recent Moodle versions.

    Of course, there are still some remaining issues, but you can search and report them (if they don't exist) in the tracker (https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-7655?jql=project%20%3D%20CONTRIB%20AND%20component%20%3D%20%22Block%3A%20Configurable%20report%22). Any help will be appreciated and patches are always welcomen wink

    If you're experiencing any issue, I would suggest to check if it has been reported previously in the tracker and, if not, create it smile
    If you have any question, you can send it to the community forum: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=7979 (in order to make it easier, please, avoid to send them duplicated to several places).

    Thanks in advance for your compresion and help!

    Yvan, could you explain a little more how to reproduce your problem. Therefore, let's request an Issue on the plugin tracker..

    Could anyone kindly recommend an SQL developer who could help build a dashboard of reports for our Moodle implementation using this plugin? It is fully configured, I just need help realising its potential and I would prefer a referral than finding someone of Freelancer. Please feel free to message me privately.

    I need an academic plugin for Moodle 3.7 that will take in calculations the promotions (that are formed from 3 universitary years, i.e.: univ. years 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022 will make part from promotion 2019-2022), the universitary years like in above example, courses from universitary years by semesters and users that access/have activities (or not) on that courses. Reports that I need to display and save in csv, MS Excel or pdf are: Numbers of courses per semester in a selected universitary year from a selected promotion, how much users participate/had activities on each course, role (student, teacher, etc.), and of course in a timeline. The plugin would be great if will work with already acumulated logs.
    Can anyone help me with that? This plugin can be customized to do what I need?

    Hi Sunriser. I think this is a plugin properly for doing that. One doubt about your requirements is what does it mean "work with already acumulated logs"... Have you got some special LOG tables different to the "official" ones? If so, maybe the challenge would be a little bit more complex, but anyway possible. This is my opinion.

    Hi,

    I need an academic plugin for Moodle 3.7 that will take in calculations
    the promotions (that are formed from 3 universitary years, i.e.: univ.
    years 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022 will make part from promotion
    2019-2022), the universitary years like in above example, courses from
    universitary years by semesters(sem.1, sem.2) and users that access/have
    activities (or not) on that courses.

    Reports that I need to display and save in csv, MS Excel or pdf are:
    -Numbers of courses per semester in a selected universitary year(i.e.:
    2019-2020) from a selected promotion (i.e.: 2019-2022), how much users
    participate/had activities on each course, role (student, teacher, etc.),
    and of course in a timeline (from beginning of logs until present day).
    The plugin would be great if will work with already acumulated logs.

    Can anyone help me with that? This plugin can be customized to do what I
    need?

    Of course I need that graphics displayed to be in form of bars & pie for
    an unadvised audience.

    @ Mr. Miguel González Laredo

    I installed Moodle in october 2018 and from then we had various activities and in its logs/journals are recorded that informations until in present day, now from the beginning I opted to save logs in files on hardisk, NOT IN DATABASE.

    I hope to fully clarify you this answer.

    Hello @SUNRISER SETH

    The main purpose of this plugin is to make SQL queries that could potentially be exported as reports. Since you have those logs stored in external files, that can't be done directly. that being said, maybe you could create a new logs table in the DB and then create a SQL report. If done properly, i think it could give you the desired results. Other than that, custom plug-in is your answer.

    Hello and thank yall for making this plugin. I am currently having our Moodle admin install this plugin to our server and by the looks of it, this seems to be able to do everything we would like. My only question is concerning surveys / questionnaires. Will this plugin allow us to be able to create reports for surveys / questionnaires?

    I think it's fair to say that, if the data is in the Moodle database, then you can report on it with Configurable Reports. You just need to know how to get at the data. There are no built in report templates for activities like surveys and questionnaires. Just to say, those activity modules do have their own reporting capabilities for users with elevated rights in the courses in question, though.

    Good day,

    I would have a query for this filter %% FILTER_COURSEMODULEFIELDS%. Does anyone know its exact syntax in SQL? I try to integrate it into the SQL query, but after entering the filter nothing happens at all. Specifically, I would need to filter out all users by institution. I use the Configurable Reports module.

    Thank you for your help.

    Subj. Custom template bug in latest version.

    Not sure if this is the correct place to message this but I'm really enjoying the flexibility of this tool but I believe there is a bug in the latest version whereby choosing custom template simply generates the following in the report view:

    ArrayArrayArrayArrayArrayArrayArray

    Is this correct?
