Moodle plugins directory: Mass Actions block | Moodle.org
Mass Actions block
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.
I am not aware of a block or plug-in that could do this for you. I'll bring the idea up to our analysts and see how useful they feel this might be for our users. If they like the idea, then I'll see about getting work on that prioritised, whether that is my coding such a thing from start to finish or merely contributing to someone else's work. I'm not sure how you could set such a thing up to affect multiple courses and multiple activities within those courses simultaneously. Obviously, you probably could, but it would probably be easiest to make it work at a course level. Also, how often would changing these settings across multiple courses really be useful?

The problem she reported should be fixed. The block was previously coded to work only with certain course formats. The latest version available does not possess this limitation.

I just tried to translate some strings, but your plugin doesn't seem to be integrated into AMOS. Do you know wether this is normal? Is it a bug?

I would like to know if "...and AJAX must be disabled" is relevant for moodle 2.7.
Thank you.
This appears to be a regression for a fix I requested two years ago See comment posted below by Huy Hoang Thu, Apr 4, 2013, 2:42 PM (Uploaded version 2013040400 that tries to parse the section names, as requested by Michele.)
