Hello Albert. We're sorry for your troubles. Can you please go to your Site administration > Server > Update notifications and check the setting "Required code maturity" (updateminmaturity). I suspect you will have there "Stable" which is why the new version is not reported by your Moodle (even the recent 34.2.0 is still declared as Beta maturity). Even when the auto-update would not work for some reason, you should be always able to replace the directory admin/tool/policy/ with the one from the 34.2.0 ZIP. Visiting the administration Notifications page then should trigger the upgrade (I just tested and it works for me). HTH
I've send Catalan strings to help translating the plugin into other languages, not sure if I'm done it right, but if you need help with translation just drop me a line
@King Hernandez - there is a little trick on how to make the bottom black modal shown automatically for all visitors of your site. Configure your site to automatically log in guests (
autologinguests
) and also force then to log in (forcelogin
). As a result, all anonymous visitors will be automatically logged in as guests and the policies will be shown to them. Please note, to avoid re-displaying of the modal, a cookie is stored in the user's browser to keep track of the given consent to guest policies. When testing, it works best to either close the browser, or test in incognito windows.Please refer to https://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_plugins
Thanks and regards...Paul
Thanks Paul, good to hear you found it all working well in the end.
Thanks
@Veronica - Normally it should be enough to give the permission to accept policies to Authenticated user role. If the problem persist, please use the Moodle Tracker and report a new issue (project MDL, component "Privacy"), describing step by step how to reproduce your problem, attach screenshots etc. Thanks in advance.
@Salvador - Moodle stores the user's agreements during the new account creation in a cache with time-to-live set to 1800 seconds. So after 3 minutes, the cache invalidates and the user is asked for agreements again.
