    Hello, I wrote an Italian version for the activity information page (mod/choicegroup/view) and it has waited for approval for a while. Could anyone approve it, please?

    Hi Chiara,
    Thanks for taking the time to make an Italian translation!
    This is not something I can approve myself, this should be the job of the IT language packs maintainer(s). Could you confirm where you posted this translation? This is normally done on lang.moodle.org.
    Here are some already availaable IT translations for mod_choicegroup: https://lang.moodle.org/local/amos/view.php?t=1671700975&v=l&l=it&c=choicegroup&s&d

    Hi Nicolas, I am not talking now about the language pack (that was already approved), but the description page on docs.moodle.org (the page that opens when you click on "more help" in the activity help in the activity selector!)

    I have reported a severe bug in the GitHub. Having tested in both our Moodle environments with the same result, it would still be good if someone else can verify:

    When having backed up a course using mod_choicegroup, without backing up users and user data, the new course's choicegroup still contains the names of students from the backed up course. There is a link between the choicegroup modules when copied, making the copy show the members of the original.

    Using Moodle 3.11.10 and Choicegroup 1.39 for Moodle 3.9-4.1 (Build: 2023010300)

    Hey, Nicolas.

    We've found a bug in the timing configuration. The plugin allows the closing date to be earlier than the opening date. This setting doesn't show any error or warning while setting up the group selection.

    Can anything be done about it?

    Thanks a lot.

    Hey Gonzalo,
    Thanks for reporting this. We'll follow up on GitHub where you posted too. But in short, we can confirm the issue and will fix this.

    Hi Nicolas, do you have any thoughts on when a Moodle 4.3 compatible version might become available?

    Best regard,

    Sadly, this latest update breaks the group choice activity on our installation of Moodle 3.11.8. There is a call to get_page(), which doesn't seem to exist. Is this new for 4.x?

    Sorry about that Terry,
    We pushed a change that was not correctly tester on 3.11. We have now reverted it so that Moodle 4 users can use the fix, but your Moodle 3.11 should now offer you to update the plugin to 2023110900 version, which does not contains this code.

    Hm. I've just installed this on a Moodle instance running v 4.1.3 and am getting unexpected results. When I set up a Group Choice activity, the screen refreshes and stays on Group Choice. No error message, but the Selected Groups box is now empty. Since I'm not getting an error message, I'm not sure where to look to troubleshoot.

    I have made sure that I made selections in each section. The only required entry is the Group choice name.

    I've also installed it on an instance running Moodle v4.3.1. It runs fine there.

    Any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting?

    Thanks. The latest release (1.44 for Moodle 4.2-4.3 (Build: 2024010400) (2024010400) fixed the issue that I was having with Moodle (v4.1.3). Yea!, I now have Group Choice available again. Stunning work that is much appreciated.

    Hello,
    I've installed Group Choice plugin version 1.44 for Moodle 4.2-4.3 (Build: 2024010400) on a Moodle 4.3.2+ (Build: 20240125), Theme is Moove.
    I'm using mod_choicegroup with the options : No inscription at more than one group, authorize choice modification, not showing responses and no limit in the number of users in a group.
    After the first choice, if the user choose to delete the choice made (clicking the button "delete my choice", page is refreshed (with action=delchoicegroup) but the choice made is still there (even in the report). I tried with Boost theme with the same result. If connected as an Admin, it works. Connected as a student (standard role of Moodle, witn no change), it doesn't work. The only capacity linked to student and groupchoice is "mod/choicegroup:choose". I don't see a capacity like "mod/deleteownchoice" but maybe this is not a problem.

    Thanks for this really great plugin that I use for a long now but I have never tried the option "autorize modification".
