Moodle plugins directory: Group self-selection

Hello. Some students set the password for the group, and they forgot it. They have asked me for the password recovery. I tried to manually change the group password, but the change doesn't work. So, is it possible to change or to reset or to recover the group password?
Thank you

Hi Sidd. Actually there is no option to change or reset the passwort. The goup Passwort is associated with the activity. So one option is to add a new "Group select" activity with the same settings and the group password is gone. Another option is to delete right row in the database table groupselect_passwords. I will add a issue for adding an "edit Password" button for Editors. Best wishes Roger

Where should issues for this plugin be raised - https://github.com/marinaglancy/moodle-mod_groupselect or the one linked as "bug tracker" in "useful links"? It's not clear!

apologies for confusions, this plugin changed maintainers several times

I'm on Moodle 3.3.2, I cannot upgrade to the latest version of Group Select plugin. I get this message:

Debug info: SELECT * FROM {role} WHERE shortname = ?
[array (
0 => 'teacher',
)]
Error code: invalidrecord

Did you rename or delete the teacher role in your db?
Does it appear durring installation or wenn using the plugin?

Could you possibly make this so that a new group can be created by a student even if they are already in a group?
My course has several groups that students can be a part of but I also want them to be able to create their own groups.

Will this activity be available for versions beyond Moodle 3.3? We'll be upgrading to 3.4 shortly and are hoping we'll continue to benefit from the Group self-selection activity after we upgrade if possible!

We work for a release 3.14 that will support moodle 3.3 and 3.4 with their, we fixed some bugs and made some smaller but usefull improvements. Eg. we now support the timeline overview in moodle or it is possible to create more than one group for students.
A test release is available in the github repo, but only use it for testing.
The official Release will be probably available next week.

Hello Roger,

Thanks for this useful plugin.

I'm just wondering if is possible for the students to upload a group image. It would be great.

Thank you!

Hi, this is a great activity. Solves a big problem I am having this year but after setting it up I have noticed a few things that could be included. If possible, could the completion settings include mark complete if the user is in a group? Also is it possible to hide the "Members" column so that users (in my case students) cannot see the names of other students in each group/option?

Impressed. Very useful plug in. However it seems as though the completion has to be manual or none at all. Would it be possible to make the completion automatic when a student chooses a group?

@Marga yes i will review this requirement and added the issue
@Lee Using seperate groups will hide the members of other groups. Do you also like to hide the members of the same group?
@Lee and @Dave Yes it makes sense to add such a rule for completion I added the issue

Thank you for your input

Hi. I have some students that could not found a group with their friends. I want to randomly organize them in groups. Is there a convenient way to: a) show a list of yet un-grouped students and, b) auto-create groups for these students. Currently, I have only found a way to list self-grouped students and auto-group/re-group already self-grouped students.

@Dmitry
a) You can use the participants page and filter for Group:no groups
b) I think you could use the Auto-create groups feature of moodle for this.
