  Hi Michael,
  
  Your contribution is great.
  
  I have one suggestion, could you rename de functions on your lib.php?. It is just to follow the Moodle coding styles on (http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding_style#Functions_and_Methods).
  
  I could be great, because it makes easier refactoring when people are creating blocks using yours as a base, it avoid conflicts.
  
  If the suggestion is not pertinent sorry.
  
  Again thanks for your hard work,
  Daniel.

  Hi, Daniel.
  
  Thanks for suggesting that. The block is older than that aspect of the standard, but that's no excuse. I've created CONTRIB-4748 and I'll fix and test that later today.
  
  I have to re-upload the latest version as my most recent updates have been lost with the data of the last few weeks.

  Hi, Seth. Someone asked me the same question just recently.
  
  The percentage, when shown via a block instance setting, does go away when someone mouses over a section of the bar and the activity information remains. I suppose there's a few options here:
  * show the percentage complete all the time (I think that might be confused with marks for activities),
  * return to the initial state on onmouseout (that would be a change of behaviour and would mean people couldn't compare info between bars/blocks or between the block and something else), or
  * leave the current behaviour as the overall percentage is not that important.
  
  At this stage I'm leaning to leaving it be, although I'm open to opinions. Perhaps another option could be added for this. I'd consider the behaviour on the block and overview page separately.

  Hi Michael,
  
  I submitted French and Japanese strings through AMOS, they were accepted on Nov. 1st, but they seem not to have made their way into your Nov. 15th version.
  I'd like to use them but I can't find a way to generate the lang file directly from AMOS, and I don't feel like copying each string. What would you suggest I should do ?

  Never mind ! I found the langpack download page (http://download.moodle.org/langpack/).

  Hi, Sebasitan.
  
  Thanks for confirming that.
  
  For others who might be looking for translations for plugins, if the are created using the AMOS system (with other Moodle translations), then they are distributed in language packs. This is the case for the Progress Bar block.

  Hi,
  
  Thanks so much for an awesome plugin!
  
  I was wondering if there is a way that allows you to restrict progress to the topic (you may have many activities per topic)? It would be awesome to setup and track all the activities you want over the entire course and the progress bar displays progress based on the current active topic.
  
  The current work around would be to adjust the progress bar for each topic, but that is quite manual.
  
  Thoughts?
  
  Thanks again!

  Hi, Ryan-Neal.
  
  Well the workaround is hopefully easier now.
  
  I have just uploaded a new version that orders items in the configuration page to match the sections and ordering of the course.

  We have a Moodle course that has no real date limits for completion, somewhat self-paced. Can the Progress Bar be set without a date for completion of assignments? Ho many assignments can be added before the width is too short for the sidebar? Thank you, this looks like an awesome plug-in. We hope it may work for our application.

  Hi, Michael.
  
  With a self-paced course you can use the option to order the bar items to match the order of the course. There's no hard limit to the number of activities that can appear in the bar, but once you start gettiing 20-30 activities it can start to look a but too crammed on small screens. At that point you could consider using multiple bars.

  Hi, Seth.
  
  I've replied on that forum. I was going to suggest using the Activity completion settings, but I assume you ended up doing this.
