    Hello, could this be used for face to face bookings? I ask as the current face to face plugin is no longer supported.

    The plugin can be used to signup to any type of activity (not just tutorials). It does only handle the signups and allows you quickly message people who have signed up.

    The Moodle 3.8 version of the plugin will call itself Signup sheets.

    Hi! I'm using Tutorial Booking in 3.7. Works ok! But I'm tryng to translate this plugin to another language. I translate all tutorialbooking.php language and I create a new folder inside /tutorialbooking/language/
    They don't works. Any idea?

    Thanks!

    You would need the language files to be in a directory like lang/ inside the plugins directory (i.e. /lang/en/ for English)

    Hi all. Is there an overflow or waiting list function in this plugin?

    Hi Ruan,

    There is no waiting list.

    There is a capability that can allow Teachers to add students even if it breaks the sign up limit.

    When I use 'Message participants' (under the actions drop-down), all html is being stripped from the sent email. This does not happen with other emails sent by my Moodle install. Is there a setting that I'm missing somewhere? We're using the atto editor

    I ran a test (on my development box) and html was not stripped from the e-mails sent, i.e. a piece of text I made bold retained this in the e-mail. We do not appear to have made any changes to how messaging is handled for a while.

    The messages go through the Moodle messaging/notification system so I guess it could be possible that your configuration there is stripping the html.

    Hi Neill,
    We have this installed on a production server running Moodle 3.11.7+ and on a dev server running 4.0.1+. We see an update for the plugin on the Moodle 3 server, but not the 4.0.1+ server. We plan to move the production server to 4 this fall and are wondering if there are plans for the plugin to be supported on Moodle 4.0+.

    Either way, thank you very much for all of your work on this plugin to date and for sharing it with the community.

    Hi Russ,

    We have just finished our Moodle 3.11 upgrade (unfortunately the delays to the release of Moodle 4 meant that we did not have time to upgrade to it this year), so it may be a little while before we have a chance to look at a full Moodle 4 upgrade for the plugin, normally we would likely start our next upgrade cycle in December or January.

    If you do find any problems with it on Moodle 4.0 please do feel free to raise a ticket on our Bitbucket tracker for it, we may be able to find some capacity to fix issues.

    Hi Neil,
    is it possible to add fileds to an excell file when I expror it? For example I need to export the Tax ID code that's an additional user filed I forced to be mandatory.
    Thank you in advance.

    The user fields that are displayed and exported should be controlled by the normal Moodle settings for which fields are used to identify users, see the following settings:

    1. showuseridentity
    2. hiddenuserfields

    Hi Neill,
    I have been running this as a plugin on a test system of 4.2 (I appreciate that this isn't yet supported, but it has been working). However either Moodle or the plugin have just been updated (or both?... I am using git to shedule updates) and I now get an error when trying to update the database that Signup sheets requires Moodle 2023100400. Any ideas?
    Thanks Geoff

    It sounds as though you are getting our code directly from the repository, rather than from the Plugins directory.

    The MOODLE401 branch will contain the code that is currently in the plugins directory.

    The other option is to take commit 98871241717fc3a32db769673820250e86fce4fa which should have changes that are compatible with Moodle 4.2 (these changes have been tested, but against Moodle 4.3)

    We have pushed changes into the master branch of the plugin to upgrade it to support Moodle 4.3, these are not yet in the plugins directory yet as we have not put them through testing.

    Neill,
    That fixed it, many thanks! I will follow the 401 branch in future!
