    Hi Amanda,

    I am not sure if your fix is already in version 2.2.1, but when I install this version:
    * from the front page, I can still access all (face-to-face) events although I don't have access to the course where the event is part of
    * on course page where (face-to-face) events are scheduled, "no more events" is shown. Only when I add an event by means of + New Event in block it is shown in the list

    Hi Ronald,

    What is a face-to-face event? Is this another type of plugin?

    Yes it is ( https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_facetoface ). Events scheduled in this plugin are displayed in core Moodle Calendar and Upcoming Events lists, but only the Calendar block on front page show them in context, the core Upcoming Events list show all events. I wonder now if the bug is not in the face-to-face plugin.

    I'll try and have at look at this this week. Calendar and the core upcoming events block have some settings that a user can choose to display different types of events: global, group, user, course.

    In our block we do not use these preferences. We show course and group events in the course page and all types of events on the front page. If face-to-face is a user type event then it would not show in our block on the course page. I need to have a look at face-to-face before I could say where the issue is.

    Hi Amanda,

    Thanks for creating this plugin - I'll be adding it to our site more than likely when we upgrade to 3.0.
    One of the things that make this really useful is that it displays events that occur today (i.e. not just from tomorrow) including events that happened earlier in the day. So it'll be great for adding a 'Today's Events' block to users' dashboards.
    However, I would like to display only today's events, and not tomorrow's also. Would it be possible perhaps in a future version do you think?

    Thanks,
    Catherine

    Hi Catherine,

    Yes, that sounds like a good idea for a new setting. I'll implement that but it may not be until May.

    Catherine, the setting that you requested has been implemented now. To display only today's events, set the lookahead to 0. This can now also be set at instance level.

    Does this work with Moodle 3.1?

    I heard from Amanda via a PM in August to say they had not tested it yet with 3.1. smiler Now I am interested in 3.2. I've PM'd back to see if there is anything likely to happen. I am interested in this as it is unique: there are no other blocks that do this. Course menus, tabs and formats have options: not this.

    Any update on this being available for Boost themes?

    Hi, Sorry I hadn't realised that comment was still in the description. It does work with Boost. We use it with a child theme of Boost.

    Thank you for updating the Activity Stream block Amanda. We can now add it to the Dashboard.
    Can this Upcoming Events block also be added to the Dashboard, or just to courses? I'm not seeing in the block list for the Dashboard.

    Just wondering if the plugin has been tested on 3.11.3 as I think the plugin maybe be causing problems with my upgrade from 3.11.2 to 3.11.3.
    Thank you.
