Moodle plugins directory: Scheduler

Yes, certainly. All you've done so far is hiding the paging bar. If you want to change the size of the pages itself, you would need to change the variable $pagesize (where it currently says "$pagesize = 25;"). Set it to a very large value.

Hi Henning

I'm using 3.1.0.
Regarding "maxstudentlistsize": currently if the student number is higher than this value, no list is displayed. Will it be possible in future versions to actually display a student list, with a number of displayed students equal to this value, and a page bar to navigate between pages?

Thanks and regards,

Sébastien

Hi Sebastien, I'm not currently planning that but you may want to add it to the list of feature requests on the Tracker. The "maxstudentlistsize" was really meant as a stop-gap for situations where schedulers appear e.g. in the global site context and may have thousands of potential participants, and where displaying the list would be extremely slow.

Hi Henning,
Thanks for your answer, I created the request :
https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-6902?jql=project%20%3D%20CONTRIB%20AND%20component%20%3D%20%22Module%3A%20Scheduler%22
Anyone interested in this feature, please make sure to vote for it.

Hi Henning and Developers,

Thank you for reading this post. I have a simple questions, for "teacherview.php", for the line "echo $output->render($slotman);", what is the function in "scheduler_instance.php" that extracts the data from the database? Note that this is teacher view.

Thank you again!

Hi Henning and Developers,

Sorry to bother you again. For function "get_slots_available_to_student" inside "scheduler_instance.php", what is the name of the table (or names of the tables) in the database ($DB) you are accessing? Sorry it doesn't say which table it is accessing in the code.

Thank you!

Hi Henning again ,

Thank you very much for fixing the bug with the deleting of the selected slots.

We were testing scheduler under Moodle 3.2, and we came across another bug.

The bug will appear when the teacher is trying to give one time slot for a group of students. When the students book this slots, the teacher will get a conflict message telling him to check the ignore conflict button, but eventually he will get 2 slots with the same time and with the same number of students, which means if the teacher is trying to give a slot for 3 students, he will have 2 slots with the same time and 6 students can book those slots.

I hope, that i explained the bug well.

Thank you very much!

@Kevin Lu:
The code that is responsible for these database queries can be found in mod/scheduler/model/scheduler_instance.php . This is quite a long file, but it is crucial to understanding how Scheduler works; you may want to read it in more detail. Have a look in particular at the methods fetch_slots() and get_slots_for_teacher().

@Amr Al Kudeh
Thanks for mentioning this. I have created an entry for this on the bug tracker, see CONTRIB-6908 . I think I don't understand the bug fully yet and would need some more information. Please comment on the bug tracker if you can.

Hi Henning and developers,

Thank you for answering my questions. I have a question about "Add Single Slot" under Add Slots tab button. Which php file is it that displays the html code? I need to add a Javascript function to it so I need to know the name of the php file that displays the html code.

Also, for the Save button, which file generates that Save button?

Thank you!

Hi Henning and developers,

On teacherview.php, under "View : Update single slot form" in line 138, what is the variable that I can use in order to access this slot's location and enrolled users (teacher and students)?

Thank you again!

Hi Kevin, the form is generated using Moodle's formslib, which you can read more about here: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/lib/formslib.php
Within Scheduler, see "slotforms.php".

Regarding your second question, this would be the variable $slot. It's an object type, so you would get the location with $slot->appointmentlocation , for example. You can get a list of all appointments with $slot->get_appointments() (see documentation in model/scheduler_slot.php).

Hi Henning,

Thank you for your response. I have a quick question. Is it possible to get the scheduler's name located in the tab in the right side? For example, in the tab, I have Summer Courses, Winter Courses and Spring Courses as scheduler name, is there a place in the code that I can retrieve the name? I am doing it because I need to identify which scheduler I am in so I can make changes to slots.

Thanks!

Hello Kevin, I think you're looking for $scheduler->name .

Hi Henning,

Thank you for your answer. I have another question. Suppose I would like to book a user for multiple sessions and I have those session ids, my goal is to have one "Book slot" button and upon clicking it, I am booked to multiple sessions. In the code, I know booking student to the session is in studentview.controller.php's "Book a slot" section (lines 17 to 113). There is a variable called slotid which gets the slot's id from studentview.php and pass it to studentview.controller.php. I tried to have an array of bookable slot ids and when I try to run a loop, it only loops the first id. Do you have any idea why?

Note: I did set the scheduler that each student can book multiple times up to 10 times.

Thank you!
