Activities: Checklist
Sets
This is a Moodle activity module for Moodle 1.9 and Moodle 2.0+ that allows a teacher to create a checklist / todo list / task list for their students to work through. The teacher can monitor all the students' progress, as they tick off each of the items in the list. Items can be indented and marked as optional. Students are presented with a simple bar showing how far they have progressed through the required/optional items and can add their own, private, items to the list.
Features include:
- Choose whether students or teachers can check-off items
- Students can add their own notes to their checklist
- Dates can be added to items (and exported to the calendar)
- Teachers can comment on an individual student's items
- Progress is exported to the gradebook
- Choice of colours for each checklist item
- Heading items (without checkboxes)
- (Optional) Import list of current course activities and automatically check-off as activities completed
There are two other plugins that further enhance this activity:
Video overview of this plugin:
The latest version (and the Moodle 1.9 version) can always be found here: https://github.com/davosmith/moodle-checklist (the version on Moodle.org will be updated from time to time)
Assuming you've followed the step-by-step instructions, included in the README for this plugin, for sorting out any such problems, what was the output you got in step 3?
This is the log of the cron job

As you can see this is the version of my moodle, the courses that have some stuff done and how it's not being updated in the checklist activity

The moodle information screenshot was taken before I ran the cron jobs.
Also would love to have an option to have automatic only checking but I already forgot why I needed this module <.<
According to the output you sent me, in the time since cron last ran, there were 2 relevant log entries across the 3 courses that had checklists, but none of them required any update to the checkmarks (probably because the checkmarks were already ticked for those items). There were no relevant completion updates for those checklists.
This suggests to me that the system is running fine, but that nothing happened that needed to change the student's checkmarks.
I would tell you more, but unfortunately you do not seem to have enabled the detailed debugging (as described in step 3 of the README instructions), so I cannot tell any more about what is going on (if you had removed the '//' from the DEBUG_CHECKLIST_AUTOUPDATE line of code, then you would be seeing far more output).
It seems someone else also had this issue but is no apparent fix. https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=235670&mode=1
Any help or a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.
I assume you've tried turning on debugging to see if a more helpful error message is displayed? ( http://docs.moodle.org/en/Debugging )
I've done a quick test with the latest version of Moodle 2.2 (2.2.11) - I have no problem at all locating the file /mod/checklist/view.php, so I can only guess that this is a problem that your server is having with the file, rather than anything wrong in the code.
Hope that helps anyone else who runs into it.
Davo, thank you for your prompt reply. It was appreciated.
Please double-check you are using it correctly: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Available_for_group_members_only
I think what you are asking might be better served by a custom course format, that offered a 'next' activity link whenever the current activity was marked as complete (or possibly, my own Navigation Buttons plugin - https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=block_navbuttons )
I love most of your contribution. I noticed that you have a 'Navigation Buttons' before but only realize its usage now. I will install it today. Thank you very much for this solution.
