This block allows instructors to perform actions upon multiple resources or activities, rather than having to perform repeated actions on individual items.

To use this block, Javascript must be enabled in your browse and you must be in editing mode in the course home page. The user must have capability "block/massaction:use". The block should work in most course formats.

Supported actions include mass selection, indentation, deletion, hiding, showing, making available, duplicating, and moving. To select items to perform actions on, simply click the checkbox next to the activity or resource or use select functionality from the block.  Then click the action you would like to perform in the block.

If you encounter bugs or have suggestions for improvement, please use the bug tracker URL and I will work on those as quickly as possible.

    As a workaround for mass deletion, move the activities to a new section, then delete the whole section. (Source: https://support.sou.edu/kb/articles/faculty-delete-multiple-items-at-once)

    Please can you update the version this supports to 3.11 so that it automatically installs during an update?

    Hi, sorry to bother you again. Is there any chance you can change the version number that is supported to include 3.11 I have just updated moodle again and it has not installed your plugin during the upgrade as moodle thinks it will only work on versions up to 3.4. If you can change the version it supports to 3.11, the next time we update it, which we do most weeks, it will install automatically. Thank you.

    I just tried this plugin, and subsequently the unofficial plugin from github, and neither one shows tick boxes next to the activity items. I assume that this is what people mean when they say that it "doesn't work"?

    Hi Sarah Poulin,
    At least on Moodle 3.10, the unofficial plugin seems to work fine. Did you uninstall the official plugin completely before installing the unofficial one? Make sure the plugin folder onserver is removed completely after uninstall, and I would also do a "Purge Caches" action and also clear my browser cache before installing and checking the new unofficial plugin.

    Hi, I am testing this block in an environment where crons are disabled (bu can be manually run). None of the copy options (in the same course, to another course) seem to happen, is this depending on any core cron?

    This is a great tool for managing courses! Question: Is there a permission to set for Moodle administrators so they can find, and duplicate course content to, courses they are not added to? Our Learning Technicians would like to use this, but they are only added at category level.

    I mean, find and copy content to any course in the category they are added to,

    I'd like to add this very useful block to all course main pages on our site. But how can that be done? Previously, I have added blocks to the site main page (or category level), but Mass action can only be added on course level?

    I think that this is a great plugin that should be part of Moodle core. Perhaps I am missing something but is it possible to use this plugin for restrictions? That is, in a course with groups, is it possible to mass "Restrict access"?

    Hi Matthew

    So happy to see this plugin living and breathing again! It's a game changer.

    However, like Peter, I am having issues copying content between courses. I am full site Admin and when I go to Duplicate to another course, the dropdown menu is completely empty.

    Any ideas?

    It has been made configurable, if the available courses to duplicate to are limited to the courses you are enrolled (default: you have to be enrolled). Unfortunately, there has not been a release yet since the change. However, you can download directly from github (please make sure to use the correct branch) and install it from there.

    @Peter Diederichs: This should also answer your question?
