Thanks Marina for the answer.

Here in the description, you said that " "Course ratings" plugin allows students to add ratings and reviews to the courses, and teachers and other users to read them."
But I could not find any option to rate teachers. Where is the option to rate and teacher? Or How can I rate teachers?

Hello,

I have just installed the plugin and looks quite well. Thanks for your contribution.

Regards

Hello,

I have just installed the plugin.... i cant see any ratings... i am using moodle 4.2 version and latest version of plugin. Please guide me all the steps after installing the plugin.

Hello! The plugin may require additional configuration if you are using a custom theme. I suggest you to create an issue in github and attach screenshots and details about your theme. https://github.com/marinaglancy/moodle-tool_courserating/issues

In the settings I left the rating mode on default and enabled "percourse". So now it should be possible to determin for each individual course that I do or do not want to show ratings. But I don't see a field for this in the course settings. This is in the most recent Moodle 4.1.11 version with tool_courserating v1.7.

Hi Guys

Firstly, I like the plugin and well done for the hard work. Not sure if i am missing something but once rating a course, this can be edited at a later date. I want the course ratings to not be editable after the rating has been made. I have tried defining role as student and looked for disabling the editing but its not available. Is this possible? I can see from your screenshots that i cant see the "Edit" ability. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Andy! Please use github issues to submit an improvement request. There there could be a capability or a setting for the allowed interval when user can change their rating

Hello. I´m using the Lambda theme with Moodle 4.3 and the course ratings doesn´t appear. Thank you.

Hello, this is a very good suggestion. Can you please create an issue on GitHub (bug tracker link above), so we keep the conversations in the correct place. Thank you.

Hi! I downloaded the plugins and uploaded it in our LMS. However, when I am using the Edwise course format, rating section/block is not showing. How can I address this?

Error: “Call to undefined function tool_courserating\external_format_text()” on Moodle 5.1

After upgrading to Moodle 5.1, the Course Rating plugin may display the star ratings correctly but fail to load the reviews page, throwing the following exception:

Call to undefined function tool_courserating\external_format_text().

Cause:
In recent Moodle versions, the function external_format_text() still exists in the core file lib/externallib.php, but the plugin’s helper.php file runs inside the namespace tool_courserating.

Because of that, PHP tries to resolve the call as tool_courserating\external_format_text() instead of the global \external_format_text() function from the core library, which leads to the error.

Solution:
Edit the file /admin/tool/courserating/classes/helper.php and, just below the line
namespace tool_courserating;, add the following statement:

use function \external_format_text;

Optionally, for full compatibility with Moodle 5.1, you can also include:

global $CFG; require_once($CFG->libdir . '/externallib.php');

Then purge Moodle caches using the CLI command:
php admin/cli/purge_caches.php

After that, reload the course ratings page — reviews will now appear correctly alongside the star ratings.

The begining of the file helper.php should be in this way:
<?php
namespace tool_courserating;

defined('MOODLE_INTERNAL') || die();

use function \external_format_text;
use core_customfield\data_controller;
use core_customfield\field_controller;
use tool_courserating\external\stars_exporter;

// Carga explícita por compatibilidad con Moodle 5.1
global $CFG;
require_once($CFG->libdir . '/externallib.php');
