    Thanks for sharing this, i'm sure it will be useful to many.

    This installs fine for me.

    Could you consider adding some urls here such as:
    - code repository url (eg:github)
    - bug tracker url
    - any documentation link (if any)

    Also consider using the rename README option in your next upload smile

    Btw,is the only difference between this block's page and the course participants page that there is a print ready format?

    I also thought these might be relevant here :

    Thanks Aparup. Those are added now. Yes the main difference between this block and participants is the generation of printer friendly collections of user profile pictures. Any recommended enhancements welcomed!

    Hi Daniel en Kyle,

    Thanks for this great plugin.
    I have two questions.
    1] I do NOT want that my students can see this faces-overview. I do not know how I can realize that.
    2] I have groups of 32 students and I want them on ONE page smile.

    Thanks a lot!
    Kees.

    Hello Kees,

    Thank you for your comments!

    I have updated the Wiki for this block, on how to hide the block from students:

    http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/blocks/faces#Hiding_The_Faces_Block_From_Students

    As for putting even more students onto a page, this will be future progress!


    Thank you again for your feedback, much appreciated
    - Kyle.

    Great, thanks! That works for my course.

    Question: how can I disable the viewcapabilities not only within a course but over THE ENTIRE SITE with one setting?

    Thanks a lot!

    Kees.

    Very useful. Would it be difficult to make it display ONLY the groups that the teacher is enrolled in?

    Also, the ability to display other fields in addition to the name, idnumber in particular, would be very useful!
