thanks for the reply, I've voted the scroll/wrap issue, meanwhile your tip of making more progress bar block is a precious workaround I will use!
best regards

Thanks for the quick answer. But can you tell me, where I can find it? I have looked in Site administration, configuration of the block, configuration of the course. Best regards Ralf
Logging settings are controlled for each logging plugin at Site admin > Plugins > Logging. Assuming you are using the Standard logging plugin, the setting for that is "Keep logs for" and I assume you have that set to "365 days". Again, this is not necessarily a bad thing if you course runs for less than a year.
It was under Site admin > Server > Cleanup. PS: The courses runs for lifetime.
Thanks again. Ralf
We have put the progress bar block on our Dashboard but staff don't like the fact that they have all red crosses. Is there a way to configure progress bars so only students, not teachers are monitored?
There's no configuration option to hide progress bar contents from teachers. I know that most teachers want to see the bar, even if they are not completing the content of the course themselves, so that they can test that it works. I would also be hesitant to add such an option as the notion of a "teacher" is not always clear in a course; with capabilities, a user can be both a teacher and a student.
An easy workaround for people not wanting to see the block content is to minimise the block.
This has been requested before. I created an issue for it...
https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-4964
It would be good if you could contribute your ideas there. What aspects of the overview page could be exported in a spreadsheet?
If that doesn't resolve your problem, please turn on Debugging in Moodle and check your error logs to see if there is any additional information that might point to an error taking place.
Regarding Anita's questions above about an excel export and your request for ideas regarding the issue..
An export of the "student overview" page would be very helpful. The idea for these exports would be to have more filter options and then also creating specific statistics with those exports, because sorting the users / percentage gives us less options in that aspect. We have users in many different countries and we would like to filter users by country and by progress.
Or can you recommend another way to use the "students overview" page so that we get more specific data?
Thank you! Tiffany
I'm not sure what that error relates to, but I doubt it is specific to the Progress Bar. Have you turned debugging on on your site? It might reveal more relevant information.
Any ideas to why I would receive a 403 forbidden error after upgrading from the 2015051200 version of the plugin?
I'm running Moodle 2.8.9 (Build: 20151109)
Thanks,
Steven
