  I managed to work out how to add dataforms in for myself. If anyone else wants those modifications, just message me.

  Does anybody know if there are plans to update this to be compatible with 2.9? This could be a make or break with staff during our upcoming upgrade!

  I just upgraded the 2.9.0.0 Grade_me block onto my noodle 2.9+ version. It seems to be working correctly but I do have the following debugging lines at the top of the page.
  line 103 of /blocks/grade_me/block_grade_me.php: call to has_capability()
  line 288 of /blocks/moodleblock.class.php: call to block_grade_me->get_content()

  Can you let me know if this block works with the marking workflow and, more specifically, the allocated marking or if it works on the cangrade permission?

  Is it possible to get Grade Me to only show unmarked work in the Group that the Lecturer belongs to in a course? We have multiple lecturers sharing the same course. They use Groups and Groupings to ensure only the relevant lecturer receives email notifications of submissions. However, Grade Me is showing all work awaiting grading in their shared courses.
  
  Thanks for Grade Me. Such a neat add on to simplify life for our lecturers.

  I'm having some issues where one item to be graded shows multiple times on the Grade Me block. I'm looking at one right now where the student submitted one rtf file, yet the submission shows 3 identical entries in Grade Me, all for the same assignment at the same time from the same student.
  
  The assignment uses a rubric for grading.
  
  Moodle 2.7.7+ (Build: 20150505), Grade Me 2.7.1.6 2014051206
  
  Any thoughts?
  
  Thanks!

  I have found what I think is an inconsistency between the Grade Me block and the way Moodle Assignments are handled. When a teacher goes to view an assignment and clicks Edit and then Grade, the assignment module inserts a record into the assign_grades table for that students assignment, setting the grade to -1. This happens just by clicking Edit and Grade, before the assignment is actually graded. However, the Grade Me block is seeing that grade of -1 and then not displaying the assignment in the block as outstanding.
  
  My teachers are clicking on the red check mark which takes them to ../mod/assign/view and as a result of that action, sets the grade to -1. If they do not grade the assignment immediately, when they go back into Moodle the assignment has disappeared from the Grade Me block. I need the block to continue displaying the assignment as outstanding until it has actually been graded. The teachers usually open the assignment and download it and have a few days before they are ready to give a grade - but when they go back in the block does not show the assignment any longer and they have to go through and manually locate them. Interestingly, this does not happen on assignments that I converted from pre Moodle 2.3, only on ones I have created since then.
  
  I am using Moodle 2.8 and the Grade Me version 2.8.0.5 and the assignments are set up with a customized scale that has two grades possible - 1 for resubmit and 2 for completed.

  I guess I spoke too soon. I have not been able to get the Grade Me block to work on my 2.9+ Moodle Version. I have tried everything. Making sure teacher and students are in the same group, changing course formats, looking from a teacher rather than administrator point of view. No matter what I always get "nothing to grade". Is there some secret I'm missing for this block to work or do I just need to wait until a newer version of the block comes out?

  Hi Marc, please make sure you run the Moodle cron at least once after installing Grade Me. The Moodle cron will find markable assignments (and other activities based on settings) and set up the Grade Me block so it can display assignments waiting for marking.

  Thanks for your response Tyler. That is something I have been trying also but to no avail. In a course although I am an administrator I have put myself as the teacher also. I also made another account as a teacher and another account as a student. Whether I'm logged in as admin or the teacher account I cannot see anything in the grade book to be checked that the student account submitted. When in the admin account I get a smiley face with "Nothing to Grade". When in the teacher account I can't even see the block unless I turn editing on. Then the block shows but I don't even see the smiley face and message.

  Tyler, I think I have foudn the problem I was having with assignments disappearing from the block. If a student uploads a word document as their assignment, the teacher can click the check mark and view that assignment no problem - the assignment still appears in the block until the teacher grades it.
  
  But, if a student uploads a PDF file as their assignment, the assign module puts an entry into the assign_grades table with a grade of -1 - this means that the assignment no longer appears in the block. So if the teacher simply views an assignment that had a PDF file uploaded it now disappears from the block altogether as if it has been graded even though it has not been.
  
  I have checked on the forum for the assign module and apparently pdf files are treated differently than other files and this behaviour is expected. The problem is that the grade me block is thinking the assignment is not outstanding even though it is.
  
  Can some kind of fix be done so that regardless of the file type that is uploaded by the student, the assignment remains on the grade me block until it is actually graded? this is causing a huge problem for my teachers as they cannot find assignments after they go to view them and we cannot stop students from creating pdf files for their assignments.
  
  Thanks! Nikki

  Thank you for great update to 2.8/2.9. I have just finished thorough testing on M2.9 and plugin works great! There is a HUGE improvement in performance (compared to 2.5v). There is only one issue I have experienced, where quiz plugin was showing some old (already graded submissions) as well as automatically graded as incorrect ones. I've fixed this by adding AND qas.state = 'needsgrading' on line 53 in sql query for quiz_plugin.php

  Hi Tyler
  We are having lengthy start-up times of about 1 - 4 mins when we login to Moodle. I firstly logged a support request with our Moodle provider and they have said it is due to the logic in the GradeMe plugin. We are on Moodle 2.7. - This plugin is great and my teachers love it, however are you please able to shed some light on the issue and/or assist me in fixing it?
  Thank you, Andrew
