Hi Aaron,

Do you have a timeframe for when this will be compatible with 2.8?

We are testing it with 2.8 now. So far so good (which means it appears to be compatible now) but estimate a few weeks before testing is complete

I found a bug with 2.8 and single view and iclicker grade items. You will get a database error. The problem is that the iclicker_service code defines the itemtype as "blocks" and the itemmodule as "iclicker". I think there is a lookup being done, and its not finding those items.

I don't know why the type and module should be set that way.
my plan is to change the code to define the type as manual and module null.
I'll also zap the database with -

update mdl_grade_items set itemtype = 'manual', itemmodule = NULL where itemtype = "blocks" and itemmodule = "iclicker";

i overlooked one other required change:
const GRADE_ITEM_MODULE = NULL;

There is a slight problem with this change. We are using the GRADE_ITEM_MODULE to identify which grades belong to this plugin. If you null it out like that then every grade which has no module defined will be treated like it is owned by the plugin and the local iclicker applications will allow the instructors to change those grades. That's not intentional for sure and probably not ideal either. I think we need a new way to identify the ownership of the items since Moodle 2.8 started making use of that field for generating the query that is failing.
