Hi Michael, thanks for the great plugin! Any update on when you might be able to update the github repo with the latest release? Thanks!

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your feedback. I completed my task by making a small addition to the Bug Tracking System within the plugin, and I explained how I did it. I hope you will add the user's role information in the next version. Thank you so much for creating this plugin. Your support is invaluable.

Best regards

Hi Çağrı,

There is currently not a way to display the shortname of a role using FilterCodes. However, please feel free to submit a feature request using the Bug Tracker link and we can further discuss your request there.

Best regards,

I think I asked my question incorrectly. Sorry for the hassle. How can I display this name using a shortcode?

Hi Çağrı,

As a site administrator, navigate to Site Administration > Users > Define Roles. The next to last column is called "Short name". There you will see the short names for each of the roles.

Hope you find this helpful.

Best regards,

MIchael

Thank you for the plugin. How can I get the short name of the role a user has? Is there a way to do this?

Looking at the documentation, when a courseenddate is missing the filter is supposed to show "Open event," but ours is showing "None." I looked through the language pack because I want to customize what it says (to something like "MISSING END DATE" with the hope that this will encourage instructors to enter an end date), but I cannot find "Open event" nor "None."

Hi Mikkel,

The version on GitHub is not ready for release yet. One of the things I added to 2.7.2 was almost 400 php unit assertions. Unfortunately I ran out of time while working out out the bugs in the new unit tests in order to include them before the early bird deadline. So 2.7.2 was published here on Moodle.org including all of the new features and core fixes but without the unit tests.

Once I have confirmed that all of the new unit tests are passing, I will update the version on Moodle.org and Github, hopefully within the next week.

Best regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

In here under version, you sayd there is a version 2.7.2, but on your github it only has 2.7.0. Is it possible for you rto release the new version to github as well?

We rely on the version are avaible on github for our release-tool to work

HI Is it possible to add a tag displaying the Moodle version (the one displayed on the Site Admin / Notifications page)? That would be great !

Hi Clara,

Instead of Group Description, which would be hard to match up with group names, what if it might be possible to do something like:

Group name: Group description would follow.

Either way, please submit a Feature Request (link on the plugin's page) and we can continue to discuss it there.

Best regards,

Hello,

I’m really glad I came across this very interesting plugin. We needed to display the name of the group each student belongs to, and the {mygroups} tag worked perfectly for that.

However, I was wondering if it would be possible to create another tag, something like {mygroupsdescriptions}, which would display the description of the groups. I understand this might not be very ergonomic in cases where students belong to multiple groups, but in our situation each student only has one group. Such a feature would be extremely useful for us.

What do you think about this idea?

Thank you so much,

@John Nicholson - assuming that the teacher is marking the final completion, via the course completion mechanism, then there won't be an activity URL that you can use here.

But - what you could do, is make use of the Pulse plugin, https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_pulse - what you would do is add a pulse activity into the course, that has a restriction set so only available once the course is completed. You then use the URL of this pulse activity in your filter code. The pulse activity can be set to be 'availble but not visible' so the students don't actually have to see it, you are just using it as a way of turning some other activity (in this case course completion) into a trackable activity. I do this all the time for various reasons.

Very handy plugin Thank you for providing and maintaining it.

We have Course Completion enabled. After all the activities are completed, the teacher must also indicate final completion. I would like to use Filter Codes to display an alert to the student that the teacher has not yet indicated final completion. Assuming it must be something similar to the code below. But where can I find the id value for the teacher indication of completion?

Thanks, John

{ifnotactivitycompleted id}{/ifnotactivitycompleted} : Will only display the content if the activity module specified by the id (see the activity's URL id=value), has NOT been completed.
