Activities ::: mod_facetoface
Maintained by Catalyst IT, Dan Marsden
Face-to-face activities are used to keep track of in-person (e.g. classroom) trainings which require advance booking. Each activity is offered in one or more identical sessions. These sessions can be given over multiple days. Reminder messages are sent to users and their managers a few days before the session is scheduled to start. Confirmation messages are sent when users sign-up for a session or cancel. This module may be of interest to administrators looking for a way to provide event management support for blended learning environments.

    Hello. I am having an issue with automated reminder emails being sent to participants if a course has been cancelled or deleted from the system by administrator only. Not when participant cancels themselves. Currently on 3.2 of the plugin and using Moodle 3.5. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    @Tristan - a better place to ask for help with this plugin is in the facetoface forum here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=999 - thanks.

    I've just filed a pull request for a version that I've got working and tested on Moodle 3.9. You can get it from:

    Thanks Andrew!! - I've merged that in, removed some lang strings that are no longer used as a result of your patch and bumped the version in github to reflect those changes.

    Hi Dan, are you able to tell me if there are any plans to implement support for the Moodle App?

    @Keenan - I'm not aware of anyone working on adding mobile app support - typically feature development requires someone interested enough in the feature to fund that development - feel free to reach out if you're interested in funding it. Also may be useful to point out that Moodle Workplace has a similar feature in their release, and they have a Moodle Workplace App that may support their version.

    Hi Dan,
    It would be super nice, if there was a place to upload the roster's pdf files to a session. Some of us still need to retain the paper roster and it would be nice to store it in the same place as the training records.

    Hi everyone. When I sign up for an event or cancel it, then I am supposed to get a confirmation email in both occasions. However, I get an error saying:
    "There was a problem sending the confirmation message to your email account. Debug info:
    Error code: error:cannotsendconfirmationuser.
    Stack trace:
    • line 1957 of /mod/facetoface/lib.php: moodle_exception thrown
    • line 133 of /mod/facetoface/signup.php: call to facetoface_user_signup()"

    Does maybe someone know why this happens or maybe a possible solution?

    there will be another errror in the mix there - try setting your debugging level to "Developer" with display errors turned on to see what else it's reporting - lots of different reasons why Moodle might not be able to send an email.

    Hi @Dan Marsden. Thank you for the reply. I have been able to resolve that issue.
    Another question, is it possible that a student can signup for more than one event? Cause the moment I signup for one the other one becomes unavailable.

    Hi @Dan Marsden - thanks for a potentially very useful plugin! I suspect you might ask me to post in the forum, but my issue is that when a user signs up (or cancels) a session they get a 'There was a problem sending the confirmation message to your email account.' error message (error/facetoface/error:cannotsendconfirmationuser) - I'm suspecting this is a Moodle configuration issue, rather than your plugin, and even worse it probably can't be resolved because of the unique way our users are created onto our Moodle - assuming I'm right then is there an easy way to configure the plugin *not* to send any emails at all to avoid this error message? Thanks again!

    Hi, I'm having strange issue with fact-to-face plugin. I'm using plugin to setup a meetings for online courses. The number of user that can sugnup for meeting is limited, rest goes to waitlist. But when a user which is resgistrated will resign from this meeting, first user on waitlist should jump to his place. But in my case users on waitlist are signup at random. There are cases where a user at the end of the list is assigned, or somewhere in the middle.
    This issue is a bit annoying, can you help me with this?

    Hello,
    We have been using this plugin for a while now. Recently, it started deleting spaces between words in the confirmation emails sent out. Any idea of why it would do this?

    Hi,
    it's a really great plugin - I used it in my Moodle 3.9 and it was brilliant. From my perspective - "must have".
    Recently a decision was made to upgrade our environment and also Moodle has been updated to version 4.0 (I'm testing it now to see if we can move to version 4.0 or if we need to stay on version 3.9).
    Can I count on any information or tips regarding the face2face plugin for this particular version of Moodle? I know that there is a branch for 4.0_stable on github but I assume that the plugin has not been officially released for some reason (and I am asking because I have a comment about the need to take care of this plugin on the "Plugins Check" page). Thanks again for your huge effort smile
