Hi Daniel. Thanks for the updated variant of your originally submitted local plugin. I am happy to see you managed to convert the plugin successfully and I can approve it now. You are cleared to land, welcome to the Plugins directory!
It wont sync grouping?
Basically I wish to use one group in multiple courses and your module did that and thanks for that but as it is not sync group overrides
Fantastic plugin, especially for meta-course enrollments and cohorts!
Any chance you might make an update to this great plugin for 3.5 / 3.6?
Thank you for sharing your great work with the Moodle community!
I'm glad you enjoyed the plugin.
If you have any time to test this on a test server and report any errors or malfunction it will accelerate the process of update.
Best regards,
Daniel
If I may echo Joseph in his request to have an updated version for 3.6...we use this plugin a lot, it has been absolute game changer for our administrators and saves them the hassle of manually grouping large cohorts of up to a 1,000 learners...we have just upgraded to 3.6...please let me know anything I can do to speed up the development...
I made available a new version that should be compatible with 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.
It is the same code, the APIs didn't change for what I saw. Let me know if you find any problems using it.
I'm not aware of this "main Course Management menu". Is it something the Fordson theme provides? Or is it Moodle core?
It may be a change in Moodle or on the theme because for what I remember, I made the tool appear under Course administration -> Users -> Groups, at that time Moodle used the navigation block.
With the removal of navigation block by default and the new menu on the cog icon, it may have being rearranged.
I'm afraid there's nothing the plugin code can do to add itself to somewhere else more convenient.
