typically that means they have a lot of backups stored in the user private backup area.

We are seeing enormous usage by users....but when we check their private files, there is relatively few items...
Any thoughts?
Dan Marsden
should be - but no one I know has tested it to make sure. Feel free to help by testing and reporting any bugs/issues you find to our bug tracker (linked above.)

Is this plugin compatible with Moodle 3.8?
Dan Marsden
@chris - that's a bug with the sql being used to generate the stats - there's a fix in the github branches for it.

Hi
Just ran the latest version and it reports the courses fine, but when I click 'view stats' each course shows 0MB for each category listed?
Dan Marsden
This plugin looks at the files table in moodle - if your courses do not have any records in the files table they will not show in the report. It is also possible that some courses have entries in the file table with 0 filesize on disk and the report also performs some rounding.

Hello,
1. This plugin shows 200 less courses that I have in total (show on the moodle registration page), what can explain this?
2. What does this mean "Courses that do not use any file storage have been excluded from this report." I can see 0MB courses on the list also.

@Life - try using the moodle forums to ask for that sort of support - someone else might have the time to put something together for you.

Hi Dan,
can you provide me a SQL Query for the Course size as i am working on some ad hoc reports to count Total Sizes by all Coursers(Including the Back up Size), Also Include the Category and Sub category in the reports.

@Andreas - yes, the code it gihub supports 3.3 and 3.4 - I've updated the plugins db here with the latest code.
Andreas Schenkel
Is there a version for moodle 3.3?
Dan Marsden
@Anis - yes.
Anis Jradah
Dear Dan,
Kindly advise if Course size plugin supports Moodle 3.1.3?
Best regards,
Anis

@Kaanchan, the latest version definitely doesn't support 2.4 - if you have a look at the versions available for download in this plugin entry there is an old version that might work with 2.4 but we no longer support it - if you are looking for free assistance you could ask for help in the community forums here on moodle.org, otherwise feel free to contact us directly if you are looking for commercial level support.
