Hello,

you must have Legacy Logs disabled to use this plugins, since for some reason,
the sql_reader does not count correctly from standard log if you have legacy log enabled too.

also, you must try to use the plugin with a non-admin user or with an user that cannot view hidden activities,
since in these cases moodle has an strange default of "false" for "is_available_for_all" function that makes the activities
"dimmed" by default. i think it is not a good default because conditiosn like groups does not have all the parameter available
for "is_available_for_all" that we have for "is_available" so, groups restrictions also show dimmed by default. the date restrictions
does not show dimmed because it does not need any information about users and course_module info, it just rely on the current date.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel, those sorts of complexities should be well documented within the plugin and possibly in the description above but ideally it would be better to modify your code to work without the complexity. Many existing 3rd party plugins rely on legacy logs so many sites will have them enabled.

I was previously testing with a student account that had not made any views to an activity and set the maxviews availability setting to "1" both with "Must" and "Must not" settings but it did not seem to allow the student access to the activity to make the first view. (I'll test with your version from github tonight)

leave the core strings as-is for now - but make sure you have a different string in your plugin for the "Must" and "Must not" values as I think they will need to be different. Once we get your plugin approved we can then create a bug in the tracker(if there isn't one already) to modify the core lang to remove the word "unless" and make it more generic.

Hi Daniel, I found a few issues which I have reported to your github account. I don't think this is easy enough for people to use yet and there's still some room for improvement before it can be approved here in the plugins db. If you can't get it to work with Legacy logs enabled the plugin should check to see if it is enabled and display useful information to the admin/teacher and disable the plugin from the interface.

thanks!
