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.
It's in: ../blocks/massaction/block_massaction.php ...line 39.
Add:
'course-view-courseformatname' => true
replacing courseformatname with the appropriate course format (I've only tried it with grid).
Disclaimer: I am not a developer and I've not rigorously tested this for problems.
It has already made my life so much simpler.
To move a single resource/activity position within a unit, you have to clear this add-on block.
Hope anyone can confirm or show me other ways to make this two task can work together. Otherwise, hope the future version can address this problem
But i can't find it in AMOS to make/upgrade the french translation...
Invalid get_string() identifier: 'massaction:addinstance' or component 'block_massaction'.
Perhaps you are missing $string['massaction:addinstance'] = '';
in ../moodle/blocks/massaction/lang/en/block_massaction.php?
And indeed that file is missing such a line...
In debug mode, I've got an error easy to fix : (Moodle 2.5)
Invalid get_string() identifier: 'massaction:addinstance' or component 'block_massaction'. Perhaps you are missing $string['massaction:addinstance'] = ''; in /var/www/moodle/www/blocks/massaction/lang/en/block_massaction.php?
Can you add a line like this in lang/en.php ?
$string['massaction:addinstance'] = 'Add a new Mass Action block';
Thanks !
Running 2.6.4 and can confirm it's not appear in Blocks list, though has installed.
Any ideas? Would be a huge help!
Thanks!
Do you know any way to do something similar with activity settings? I need to change the "Allow access from" and "Allow access until" settings to a series of activities in one go.
Even better: being able to do this across many different courses, instead of just one at a time.
