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.
Thanks for the plugin.
Obrigado desde Portugal. PT-PT translator.
I just made available a new version with a master checkbox to select/unselect all groups.
This requires Moodle 3.8 onwards.
Um grande abraço do Brasil!
Thanks and keep healthy.
Are there any plans to update this plugin for moodle version 4.0/4.1?
Why do I get:
...
Group exists
Adding members
User not enrolled (userid: 633)
User not enrolled (userid: 2204)
User not enrolled (userid: 2338)
User not enrolled (userid: 2291)
Removing members
Done
Group is coppied by with no students (it is empty).
You may be synchronizing members that are not enrolled in the destination course.
Are members who are added to the first group later automatically synchronised with the target group or is it necessary to re-run synchronisation every time we add new members?
You'll need to re-run synchronisation every time you add new members.
