Greetings Giovanni
I can see from the Administration page that it is possible to upload reservation activities from CSV file. But is it possible, to upload reservations with users and grades from a CSV? The scenario is that teachers at a firm go out and teach on trainings. Then come home and want the training and its results for the students to show in Moodle (We would like to use the Reservation activity for this). But it would be a pain to add about 10 students to each Reservation activity one by one out of about 200 enrolled students each time.
So is there a possibility to let's say create the attendance sheet in az Excel and then convert it to a CSV and then upload it to a certain reservation activity?
We use Moodle 3.5, and reservation activity 3.4 (2017110300).
Thanks!
Mariann
I'm not implemented it in reservation plugin because you can already do it with assignment plugin.
See to https://docs.moodle.org/35/en/Assignment_FAQ#Can_I_grade_work_that.E2.80.99s_been_done_offline_outside_of_Moodle.3F for details.
HTH,

Please can you help with this?
I have this plugin installed on a Moodle 3.6 site, and am having problems with sending out messages to all reserved students. I think that the error has to do with the deprecation of print_textarea() (https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-50225).
Is there anyway to get this plugin to work with Moodle 3.6? (Can attach error_log but it is quite long).
i'm working on it in these days. I hope I can release a new version this or next week.
Roberto.
Great to hear, looking forward to getting the plugin back up and running again.
Regards,
Bligh.
Just checking around what time you think the update will be available, or if you know a work around. The site we have is live at the moment, and this plugin is used quite frequently by the lecturers.
Regards,
Bligh.
the 3.6 release it's out on moodle.org.
If you want take the last release and help me to debug it you can get it from github.
I'm still working on reservation plugin in these days.
Next release on moodle.org will be in May.
Stay tuned.
Cheers,
Roberto.
3.6 is a full code review to meet latest moodle UI and structure.
There's no new features, just small fixes and enhancements.
I'm working now on new things: moodle mobile support and multiple rounds in a single reservation are the big news.
Regards,
Roberto.
The team is testing the plugin now, will tell you if we come across any other big errors.
Kind Regards,
Bligh
Is there a way to take attendance for only for people that reserved a specific timeline, maybe creating a specific group automatically? We have several timelines to choose from and right now we see all the enrolled users.
Thank you,
Nico
