  Hi yes I will do further tests in February to ensure that it is working properly for version 3.7 and 3.8, but it seems there is no issue so far for those moodle versions. Some new further are planned but not sure yet, what will be inlcuded in the next version.

  We have version 3.14 of this plugin installed on moodle 3.3 version. Can you clarify whether student's should be able to see the other members of the group in the members list rather than 'members not available' please. If they should, how do we enable this, thanks.

  Hi Sara, it depends how your activity is set up. Separate groups means, that members of other groups are not visible in that activity for the students. This is a basic moodle feature for all activities. You could find this under "common moduel settings" as "group mode". But yes member of the own group should be always visible.

  thanks Roger. I've tried it with group mode, 'no group', 'separate group' and 'visible groups' but the members names still don't show to students. Is there a permission they need to see them?

  Hi Sara another reason might be the capabilies of "course:viewparticipants" are set to "no" for the students or the role of the students. Check this under user persission of the course or set it global as a moodle admin. The plugin is checking this property for visability of the group members.

  Hello, Roger,
  
  I think I've found a typo in
  component: mod_groupselect
  string: hidegroupmembers_help
  
  Instead of: "or if the can access all groups", maybe it should be: "or if they can access all groups".
  
  Thank you,

  Hi the current version will be tested for 3.9. I expect it should work for moodle 3.9 without a change.

  Bonjour,
  I installed it on Moodle 3.9.1 but I face an issue : a student cannot create a group.

  We use Moodle in a work environment (very techie) and one of the things we like to do is ensure pairs are created so that we have both a techie and non-techy person involved. Can anyone think of a way that it might be possible to tag yourself as techie or non-techie? Doing this manually is terrible, cross referencing job roles and the like is time consuming even for a small number of users. It would be great to get users to do this for themselves.

  Hi @Roger Barras I'm hoping you can shed some light on this. I have the plugin installed and working in 3.9. No mater what setting I use for groups in common module settings, the students cannot see who is a member of each group, the plugin just says "Member list not available". Is there a permission issue, or a setting somewhere else in the site or course administration that I need to change so that they can see who is in what group?

  @Julian Howarth There could be 3 potential settings leading to this:
  1. It could be that you set the activity as "seperate groups"
  2. You set the option "Hide group members for students"
  3. the capability "moodle/course:viewparticipants" of the users are set to no
  please check that otherwise i need some more details about your setup.
  
  @Chris Swinney: Good point one way could be a group select joining a group for techie and another groupselect to join a non-techie group?
  or the usere set a tag by themselve in their profile,
  or you create 2 separate roles in moodle for techie and non-techie,
  
  But a good point is to automatic create groups based on a tag or a group membership for a future development.
