I'm using your fantastic Progress Bar plugin for Moodle, but I don't understand the diferences between the states "notattempted" and "futurenotattempted".
How can I mark a resource as "futurenotattempted".
Best Regards!
Can you advise on viewing the Overview of the Progress Bar? We have 500+ students on our course, and it would be great to either search for them or find via the usual A-Z first name/surname options.
Is it possible to add that?
Thanks!
The difference between notattempted and futurenotattemtpted is judged from the activities due date/time in relation to the current time. The determination of whether something is attempted or not is done through queries on the activities involved, so you can't manipulate this through the Progress Bar itself, you need to go to the activity and possibly change a value there.
Hi, Dan.
Adding a language filter bar could be possible in future. With a large class, that does make sense. Perhaps you could create an issue for that in the tracker and I may be able to find some time for it in the future.

I'm not sure exactly what you want. You can allow students to see the Overview page by changing the capabilities for that for the site, course or block. If you want to modify the code to do something else, go for it.
Michael.
Hope all is well.
Just want to let you know that i have installed your progress bar in my environment and it is a great tool for students and for staff to track progress.
I do have a little bit of an issue with the Student Overview section where not all of the monitored activities are being shown.
Is it something that i haven't setup correctly or is it more of visual thing or is it capped to a certain amount?
Thanks again, look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Mile
There could be few reasons why you are not seeing all your course activities on the Overview page.
* Student progress bars only show what the student can see, so if an activity is hidden from them in the course (for any of a number of reasons), it won't appear in their bar on the Overview page.
* Not all activities are understood by the Progress Bar block. If you're using an additional plugin and the block doesn't know about it, it won't be able to be added to the bar through the configuration and won't appear on the bar for anyone. (I don't think this is your problem.)
* There could always be a bug. If you are sure the activity should be shown and you can create a set of steps to reproduce your problem, it would be good of you could add an issue on tracker.moodle.org so I can look into it.
For a longer-term solution, I'm working on a new version of the block called Completion Progress, which relies solely on Activity completion. You can check it out at https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=332078

Do you know if it's possible to set a state to in progress for SCORM resources? E.g. The learner has accessed the SCORM package but has not necessarily completed it.
For SCORM activities, the possible actions are attempted, completed or passed (as judged by the SCORM module, not the Moodle Gradebook). Perhaps attempted is what you want.
Michael
Thanks for your prompt response. I was wondering if it's possible to configure the block to "change" states. One state that will indicate that the user has accessed but not completed, then a separate state once the user has actually completed the activity.
Sorry, that's not something that's currently possible. I also think it would be less intuitive.
Thanks for your feedback. Do you know if it's possible to implement the progress bar on a site wide level?
Yes it is possible to add the Progress Bar to the site front page or to people's dashboard. When you do this a combined view is given (see screenshots above). This is also a means of consistently adding the block to all course pages.
Michael
Thank you for a wonderful plugin. It works very well at the course level. However when I did add to the default dashboard and reset to all users it does not show at all. It does show when I click the customize page button but dislays the message "no progress bar blocks are setup for your curses. When I go the course level I do see it functioning as expected. Am I missing something? I am in ver 3.1+.
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards

I suspect what you're seeing is due to the fact that you are not enrolled in any course that has a Progress Bar in it. When you're in a course you will see a Progress Bar as an admin, but on the Dashboard, it checks your enrolments and constructs the bar based on that.
If you are enrolled and you're still not seeing anything, then perhaps that's a bug, but I doubt that's the case here. Let me know if I'm wrong.
