Moodle plugins directory: Tutorial Booking

It looks as thought the 2.9 version should run fine on Moodle 3.0, there seems to be some kind of issue between Moodle 3 and one of our Behat tests that is holding me back from doing a release specifically tagged for it.

Having an issue where the teachers are unable to create slots for the tutorials. They can add the Activity but beyond that, nothing

I've checked the permissions and they all seem to be fine, but the option is not showing to create/edit etc the slots.

Moodle 3.1.1

Hi Bobby,

When in the tutorial booking activity click on the 'Permissions' link in the Administration block, this will show you the capabilities the activity uses and show you which roles have then. You should ensure the teachers have the 'Allow users to add, delete and edit the signup lists.' (mod/tutorialbooking:editsignuplis)' capability.

I did a quick test and the ability to add signup sheets appears to be working, however we have not verified that the tutorial booking activity works fully with Moodle 3.1.

Hi Neil.

The 'Allow users to add, delete and edit the signup lists.' (mod/tutorialbooking:editsignuplis)' capability is showing as them having permission . As well as Course Leader, Course Administrator, Adminstrator and Non-Editing Teacher.

When I sign is as the lecturer responsible (or any other), when I try to create the sign up list, the message comes up as "Sorry, but you do not currently have permissions to do that (Allows the user to see the admin page of the activity.)" even though they apparently do as showing in the Administration block!!

Do they also have the 'mod/tutorialbooking:viewadminpage' capability? It is required to gain any sort of editing access to the activity, in addition to the more granular permissions that determine exactly which pieces of admin functionality they see.

I have run our full set of automatic tests on Moodle 3.1 and there do not appear to be any fundamental issues with the plugin.

That was the one!!! Got it now

Thank you very much for your help Neill

Since the recent Tutorial update, one of our admin staff have tried to duplicate a Questionnaire via the Block and received this message:

Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: encode_content_links() method needs to be overridden in each subclass of backup_activity_task

Ran a debug to ascertain the problem and this is what showed:

Hi Bobby,

Cheer. Thanks for sorting that out Neill

Hi,

Any updates to Moodle 3.4?

Ricardo

Hi Ricardo,

We are currently working on our Moodle 3.4 upgrade.

The master branch of the repository contains code updated for Moodle 3.4, we have not put up a new release here yet as we have not put it through our full testing process yet.

While its a really great plugin, "Mobile app support" isnt true.

Moodle Mobile 3.5 is unfortunately not supported at the moment (the way plugins need to support it was changed), it does however work with older versions of Moodle Mobile.

It is a busy time of year for us at the moment, but I hope to be able to add support for Moodle Mobile 3.5 after things quieten down somewhat.

Hi - we have v4.5.0 on our moodle 3.3.5
Although tutorial booking setting 'liveservice' is ticked, there are no messages sent to tutorial bookers and no messages added to tutorialbooking_messages table.

Is there anything I can do about this ?

Hi Gary,

For an individual user do they have e-mails enabled for Tutorial Notifications?

Have you checked the default message outputs in your Moodle's site administration, is 'Tutorial Notification' set to e-mail users by default? If you change this and a user has never modified their own notification preferences changes here will affect them.

The messaging preferences of users should be respected by the Tutorial booking plugin.

I'm making the assumption that other sources of messages in your Moodle are able to send e-mails to users.

Do you get any error messages when you try to send a message?
