Timestat
Jorge C.This block measure time of real activity done by Moodle users.
Installation
Install block in standard way (copy it to '/moodle/blocks' folder and click 'Notifications' in admin panel) or install it directly from the Admin panel.
Usage
The block only counts the time on the pages to which it has been added, so you need to add the block on the pages where you want to count the time. If you want to add the block on the course page and on all activity pages at once, please refer to the following documentation: https://docs.moodle.org/400/en/Block_settings#Making_a_block_sticky_throughout_a_course
The block accounts for student inactivity, identified by no interactions such as clicks or scrolling. To prevent counting time during periods of inactivity, the tracking feature automatically pauses when a student is inactive for an extended period. You can customize the maximum inactivity time in the settings. It's also possible to adjust how often the recorded time is saved.
The block offers a visual time counter, visible to users with specific permissions (block/timestat:viewtimer) or to all users enrolled in the course, if enabled in the settings. Time is tracked even if the block or counter isn't visible to a student. Additionally, the block includes a link to a detailed report on time spent, with filters for course, activity, and user. Initially, only roles such as editing teachers, teachers, course creators, managers, and admins can access this report. The 'block/timestat:viewreport' capability allows extending access to other roles.
To use the block within the Quiz attempt page, configure the quiz settings to 'Show blocks during the attempt' by going to Quiz > Edit Settings > Appearance > Show more.
You can access the plugin settings from Site Administration > Plugins > Blocks > Timestat.

W moodlu mam włączony raport błedów ale nic sie nie wyświetla.
I have installed Timestat block on the course page ("on any page" in settings) but I get no results. No Records to display. Am I missing something please ?
Many thanks,
Ray
1. I changed the code in moodle/lib/outputrenderers.php to " public function standard_end_of_body_html() {
global $CFG;
// This function is normally called from a layout.php file in {@link core_renderer::header()}
// but some of the content won't be known until later, so we return a placeholder
// for now. This will be replaced with the real content in {@link core_renderer::footer()}.
$output = '';
if (!empty($CFG->additionalhtmlfooter)) {
$output .= "\n".$CFG->additionalhtmlfooter;
}
$output .= $this->unique_end_html_token;
require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/blocks/timestat/lib/timestatlib.php');
return $output;
}"
2. Java is enabled in Browser (Chrome)
3. I added a block called "timestat" to every course. I can click in this block on the word "calculate", then a new page will open and I can change some settings (Period) and I have to push the calculate bottom again. But it says "no results". What is wrong?
What is wrong? Thanks!

Timestat is now recodring times accurately thanks. BUT it creats a problem at login. I get xxxx/blocks/timestat/update_register.php?id=43318&time=8 and it just hangs there.

I work with Moodle 2.8.2+ (Build: 20150115).
I have installed the block, enabled Legacy log, followed the modification of core file mentioned in readme, and checked Java is enabled in Browser. I added the "timestat" block to every page of my course.
I logged with a studend count, opened a SCORM activity, a pdf document, and answered a quiz.
I looged back on my admin/teacher count.
Like Heinz Schmolke, when I click on “calculate”, whatever the settings, it says "no results".
I activated the Debugging mode. Now when I click on “calculate”, it shows this message :
add_to_log() has been deprecated, please rewrite your code to the new events API
line 48 of /lib/deprecatedlib.php: call to debugging()
line 140 of /blocks/timestat/index.php: call to add_to_log()
Help, What should I do ?
I need time stats, and your time traker is the only one with the 2.8 stamp. So I hope you’ll tell me how to fix it
Thanks
Have You set time constraints in timestat report correctly (including time when Your student worked)?
You don't need to add this block to every course, it works everywhere when after modification of core function.
The warning with 'add_to_log()' is displayed because this is a legacy log function, please ignore it.
When I log into Moodle appears a blank page:
/moodle-27_actualizacion/blocks/timestat/update_register.php?id=&time=11
I have to delete from /blocks/ to get into the platform.
thanks so much i have moodle 2.8.5
I installed this plugin and everything work fine. Just a question is it possible to export the result in .csv or .xls file?
Thanks a lot
