Thanks Peter, we'll look into this as soon as we can, follow-up details will be through GitHub.

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,

Michael Milette

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.

Thank you!

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.

Hi Troy,
Thanks for posting. I'm glad the latest fix corrected the issue for you.

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".

There is a bug in the settings of the groupchoice activity,
when we click on settings, we can see the selected groups a duplication of groups we have already selected...

Hello, Concerning the problem of duplicate groups: have you found a solution? a fix for Moodle 4.2 ? Thank you for your help.

We use this plugin extensively and it is functioning well (Moodle 4.1) In some cases we have huge lists of groups, over 700 groups. It is a chore to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list to click "Save my choice"

Is there any way to add a button at the beginning of the list? Thanks!

First, thank you for maintaining the Group Choice plugin—it is a valuable tool for our institution.

I would like to suggest a feature enhancement that would significantly improve flexibility in managing group selections. Currently, the plugin allows us to set a deadline for choosing a group and an option to restrict changes after selection. However, there is no way to allow students who have not yet chosen a group to still make an initial choice after the deadline, while simultaneously preventing those who have already made a selection from changing their choice.

Proposed Feature:
A new setting that allows students to make their first selection even after the deadline, while still preventing students who already selected a group from making changes.
This would provide a middle ground between strict deadlines and complete flexibility.
Use Case Example:
A school wants students to select a workspace group by Monday at 8:00 AM.
After 8:00 AM, students who already made a choice cannot change their selection.
However, students who did not yet choose are still allowed to pick a group after the deadline.
Would it be possible to implement this feature in a future update? We believe this would be a valuable addition for many institutions using your plugin.

Thank you for considering this request, and I appreciate your time and effort in maintaining this great tool!
Best wishes, Malte Ohlsen
