    I'd love to have an option that would list everything on one page in a course that has a due date attached from assignments and quizzes to TurnItIn and everything between. The less clicking to navigate would be best.

    The Activity Type "All" thing is because we were having problems when the form got too big. Therefore, if the course has too many activities, that option is not available. If you want to risk it, you can change this constant to something bigger than 20 https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-report_editdates/blob/master/index.php#L29

    what kind of risks do you mean?
    Can I change the value to 60?

    Hi Tim,

    Minor one.
    class=activityicon does not seem to be set anywhere in bootstrap based themes, so icons can be odd sizes.
    Probably worth adding iconlarge or another class which is in Moodle Themes.

    Cheers

    The class name seems to be used in core: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=activityicon, including in theme/bootstrapbase/less/moodle/course.less - thought no size is set there.

    In many places in core, the activityicon is set without any other class name being specified.

    Hi Tim
    I too need the plugin to control showing dates of files (or "ressources"). I installed it and used it normally in 2.5. So there is no way to have it work in 3.1 too for files ?

    Thanks

    It would be very hard to make the conditional availability dates editable in this plugin since the changes to the conditional availability system in Moodle 2.7, which added the ability to have arbitrary and/or logic. I am not saying it is impossible, but if you want it, you will have to get it developed yourself. Patches most welcome.

    Hi,
    in fact, for that, it would certainly need a new plugin, like "View/edit all course restrictions", that would allow, in a single page/place, to see and edit all restrictions (sections, and resource/activities) of the course. Such a plugin should of course take into account all installed restriction plugins, even if not standard.

    Yes, that sounds like an awesome idea for a plugin.

    Hi Tim,
    You made a fantastic job with this pluing but as Moodle 2.7 user and maybe someone can correct me what's is happening on fordward versions, everytime I change a date from a assigment taks or forums and I some idnumber already configured on them, the plugin remove the idnumber and introduce some number that I really don't know from where is getting and even for what. I need the idnumbers to make my formulas on gradebooks but as I said is generating some problems I have to fix it on the background.

    If that is happening, then it is a bug. I can't immediately think why that would be happening, but when I get time, I will try to fix it.

    Thanks Tim, I'm looking into the code to see if it's your plugin bug or moodle 2.7 bug but today I'm gonna try it on moodle 3.1 and I will let you know what's going on there as well. Thanks!

    Hello Tim, I was trying to find out why is removing the grade_item idnumber but I can't see it. The idnumber on mdl_course_modules is ok after update the dates, but the idmodule of this table mdl_grade_items dissapear writing there the id of the mdl_course_modules. Could you check please, the plugin is so great but is impossible to use if you are working on course with advanced grading methods. Thanks!

    If that is happening, it is a bug, and a very strange one. It is not obvious to me what could be causing it. I will try to find time to investigate.

    ello Tim,

    As far as I see, if I comment the line update_gradebook on mod/assigndate.php the idnumber on mdl_grade_items is not changed. So I decided to act in this way with /mod/assign/locallib.php on line 873 and /mod/assign/lib.php on line 1073. What your plugin need has to be in between this two functions, but I think that we need to send the idnumber as well as we send the dates otherwise we lost them and moodle let the module idnumber on the mdl_grade_items as new idnumber.

    I repeat again it's a big problem and I would like to help you to find out exactly what's wrong but as much as I check I can't get in the solution. I'm suprise to be the first one having it as well.
