Approval issue created: CONTRIB-9169

Hi Stefan, I have a question if you don't mind.
Applied to a section of my course, your plugin will allow the section to be open for a given duration.
Question: when the time is up, will the section be automatically closed to the student?
More precisely, currently in moodle, you can put restrictions on access to a section for a given time. However, when the time is up, unless the course page is refreshed, the section will remain open to the student...
Will your plugin automatically close the section at the end of the specified time?
Thank's for comments.
All the best.
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
that's an interesting idea! Right now, availability_time does not support this kind of feature. But the restriction is effective for all activities in the section, so even if the list of activities is still visible to the students, the activities can't be used by them.

Thank you for your comment Stefan.
But then, what is the difference between your plugin and what moodle allows to do with date and time restrictions to sections access, I don't see.
Sorry if my question is stupid...
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
the plugin allows to do that for every day. So you can make some content visible only from 8:00 to 9:00.

Can we define different time for different groups?

You can achieve this by using restriction sets (one group restriction and one time restriction per set).

I have been looking for a plugin to dip just this, and was so happy when I found it yesterday

I do have a problem as the times I enter for availability dosen't seem to get registred correct. It keeps showing " Requires time from 00:00 to 00:00 (hidden otherwise)"

Any suggestions?

Kind Regards Flemming
Running Moodle 5.0.3 (Build: 20251006)

Seems that if I toggle the eye-icon for visibility on/off then the times get registret correctly.

Hi, on Moodle 5.1+ (Build: 20251030) the plugin displays the classic error message
"deprecated style in use..." in the configuration panel with the hour times.
that occurs when a plugin or theme uses the old Bootstrap versions (and classes),
How to fix that?
also, it would be great to mix also conditions related to day of the week, (just like the opening hours panel in Google Business activity). They add in the setting panel all the 7 days of the week as buttons that can be active/non-active. That is useful to allow activity access, for example only during working days in the week.
thanks!
