Moodle plugins directory: Enrolment Timer

Using ver 3.0.0 2016031700 of enrollment timer on a moodle 3.1 platform (but the issue was also noted for moodle 3.0).
When a participant clicks on a link to open a course, the page that is opened contains the following extraneous text, located in the page immediately after the line starting with "

Hi all.

Can anyone please tell me if using this plugin creates a Java dependency on the end users browser? If so, are there any particular Java / JRE versions it needs?

Cheers

Uso a versão 3.0, e instalei esse plugin, mas não aparece o contador e, não aparece no curso.

I would like to change the font color for the timer numerals. In my installation they have white color, but I want the to be in black or at least have the squares around them showing in dark color as in the images above. How do I do that. I'm using moodle 3.1

I have enabled email to students reminding them that enrollment is coming to an end. Admins are also getting an email every single day reminding them of this fact. Can this be reconfigured so as to get only one email, at the value of "Days to alert on" before the end of the enrollment period?

Hi Josiah,

We have changed the logic so that the plugin will email anyone with an enrollment end date where the end date minus days to alert occurs between the current date and the next cron run. This means a user should only be mailed once per course.

Hi

I have just installed the plugin but noticed that it is throwing a console error. The plugin still seems to work as expected but because of this error it starts to impact other plugins that are also dependent on javascript. The error that is being generated is

Uncaught Error: Mismatched anonymous define() module: function ($){var options=[],arrayKeys=[],timestamp=0,forceTwoDigits=false;$(document).ready(function(){function getDisplayedOptions(){var children=$('.block_enrolmenttimer .active .timer-wrapper').find('.timerNum');for(var i=children.length-1;i>=0;i--){var arrayKey=$(children[i]).attr('data-id');arrayKeys.push(arrayKey)}}

Should I create a ticket on the repo for this? Is this something that has been noticed by others?

I am using the latest version 3.3.0 2017051200. Issue in both firefox and chrome.

Hi James,

What version of Moodle did you install the plugin on? We will look into this error and try to find a solution.

Mathew

Hi James,

The Javascript issue you were encountering should be fixed in the latest version

I have some questions about how flexible Enrolment Timer be set in different courses.

While setting up Alert Email Notifications in Enrolment Timer settings, is it possible to set a different number of days (‘Days to alert on’) in different courses? The setting seems only one specific number of a day for all the courses.

Also when we enable ‘Enable Time Warning Email’ setting, Is there way to control which courses will receive this particular email? What if we want only send a message to a few courses but not all?

Hiro

Hi,

Any update to Moodle 3.4?

Ricardo

Hi,
Any update for Moodle 3.5 or with privacy api intregated?

Deependra

Hi Deependra,

We are still investigating how to best implement the privacy API within the block, until that time there will not be an release for 3.5.
We appreciate your understanding.

Mathew

Hi Aaron,

Your plugin is great. However, is there a way to make it work with the course end date?

Hi Antonio,

There are no current plans to include that functionality yet. We are however currently implementing the privacy api so it is 3.5+ compliant. We are open to pull requests for functionality if you wish to see it in the block.

Mathew
