Facetoface

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.

    I've setup face to face ver 2.6 on a 2.7 site and have not yet picked up any errors.
    What is the extra code in the renderer.php that John Papworth refers to ?

    Hi, I was wondering if this plugin would be made to work on 2.7 at all? Im really keen to try it out.

    Hi Stacey,

    We would like to use facetoface but we are using Moodle 2.8.1 and there are errors during the installation. So I am wandering if/when you are planning to update the plugin? We would really appreciate it.

    Hello Stacy,
    I'm having an issue with F to F events not appearing on the Calendar. It appears to be random. I'm using a course for students to sign up for a series of in-person sessions. I have 29 F to F instances, each with 3 sessions to choose from. (overload maybe?)

    The Calendar display settings for each instance is set for “Course”, so all available sessions show on the Calendar in (Orange), and Sessions that the student “signed-up” for are in (Blue) (viewing as a student). However, not every session that is signed-up for is showing up on the Calendar. The orange, available sessions are there but the blue (signed up for) are inconsistent. In admin view, I can see that the student is signed up - in the respective session's “attendees” list but “some” of the event’s they are signed up for are not appearing.

    The settings are identical in all instances. I really need to get this ironed out, do you have any idea why this is happening? Anywhere within the moodle I can look to determine the cause?
    Thanks!
    Mark

    In the light of Mikhail's comments: any indication if this is stable with 2.8+

    I've just tried it with Moodle 2.8.2+ 20150123

    It gives me an error message
    Error: Required Moodle version 2014111003

    Never seen this before. It seems to be wrongly reporting the Moodle version.

    I've just tried to follow the integration steps on the following page:

    https://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Integrating_Face-to-face_sessions_on_the_course_page

    Unfortunately the course/lib.php is so different these days that the references as to where to insert the code don't exist anymore.

    I am trying to integrate it with Moodle 2.6.10.

    Any guidance you might be able to provide would be most appreciated.

    Best regards,

    Michael

    Just noticed that the documentation for Moodle 2.5 at https://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Integrating_Face-to-face_sessions_on_the_course_page has important extra information that is missing from the version for Moodle 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8. Looks to me like the documentation for Moodle after v2.5 was not copied from the correct source or the Moodle 2.5 documentation was updated after it was copied for subsequent versions.

    Strange thing is that this integration information isn't included in the README.txt installation instructions.

    Could someone please update the integration document so that it works in each version of Moodle?

    Best regards,

    Michael

    For anyone who sees errors in the course page after adding a Face-To-Face module, you will need to add a global $CFG in front of the following line:

    include_once($CFG->dirroot.'/mod/facetoface/lib.php');

    That should not only get rid of the error message but actually make it work if your Moodle installation is anywhere but in the root of your webserver.

    Stacey, can you please make sure that this gets added to the updated integration instructions as well?

    Best regards,

    Hi Stacey (or anyone else who can help).

    We are having a small issue with the Facetoface plug in and would like to reach out to you for help.

    It appears that a custom field we created isn't getting translated when we switch from English to French.

    Any help with this would be really appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Just installed the 2.8 version on Moodle 2.8 and when I tried to add an event I got
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function facetoface_instance_created() in "mod/facetoface/classes/observer.php on line 80"
    Sounds like it is happening a lot.
    Any ideas?
    Need it up and running last week and still can't get it to work.

    Help!
