    Hi instlled this plugin, does not seem to be working on moodle2.2.1 install. It installs into db on mdl_blocks but theres no record for it in mdl_block_instances. I followed the install instructions as written here. Any ideas? no error messages.

    Hi, Our teacher really like the Progress bar ever since 1.9. we have been using it in 2.12 and 2.2 now, but had a few errors with the overview of students. Since you have a new version for 2.2, will the update affect all the currently running Progress Bars? Will they be retained or will the bars have to be recreated?

    Hi, Gary.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    The recent update includes a fix for errors that were reported from the overview page. Updating the Progress Bar block code will not cause data loss in existing instances.

    If you experience any further problems, please report them as issues on the Bug tracker (link above).

    Hi, Romano.

    You might want to check that you have extracted the files correctly. There should be a folder called progress in the blocks folder and the block files are inside that (and not in another nested folder).

    If you are still having trouble, please launch an issue on the Bug tracker (link above).

    Hi Michael
    I extracted the files in the correct folder, that was a frecuent mistake a few months ago. Perhaps the problem is that I had the previous version of the plugin, so I renamed the old version and tried to install the new, with the above result.
    Any suggestion?

    Hi, downloaded the block and installed in Moodle 2.1.1 and on the course page all works. However, if I click the overview of students button I get the following messages:

    Warning: usort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/moodle2root/moodle/blocks/progress/overview.php on line 167 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/moodle2root/moodle/blocks/progress/overview.php on line 169

    Realised that my problem was that there were no students enrolled on the course - but guess that's a valid scenario. Enrolled students, the overview now works.

    Hi, Romano.

    You don't want to have two versions of the same block (or any plugin) in a directory at the same time. You would need to delete the old version, rather than renaming the folder. Alternately move the folder out of the Moodle folder structure.

    Hi, Simon.

    Thanks for reporting that problem. Even if it can be worked around, it should still behave better than that. I've launched a bug to deal with that.

    People, if you are seeing bugs, please launch bug tracker issues so they can be fixed. This is not the place to report bugs.

    We have loaded the 20120202 version with the Mario Wehr fix, but only administrators can see the "Student Overview" button. Teachers cannot see the button at all. I have started a bug tracker for this. Thanks for all the efforts.

    Hi, Greg.

    Thanks for launching that issue. There's no need to report it here also, the tracker notifies me of those issues.

    Hi, Gwynfor.

    Feel free to look at and modify the specific query for assignments in lib.php in the block directory. You could modify the existing query or add another that looks for a passing mark. Unfortunately this requirement varies for different teachers/institutions, so I've been reluctant to add such a check.
