Student folder

We just published version 3.2.1 of the Student folder plugin for Moodle 3.2 fixing a bug that made the plugin fail with PostgreSQL as database backend.

You may download a cheat sheet here: http://www.academic-moodle-cooperation.org/en/module/studentfolder/.
In addition you may watch two german tutorial videos on YouTube; see http://www.academic-moodle-cooperation.org/module/studierendenordner/ for links to the videos.

Hi @AMC - are there any userguides for this plugin?

We just published a version of the Student folder plugin for Moodle 3.2 – have fun.

Hi Ricardo,
We already did. But until we are able to upload it here for 3.2, you can get the MOODLE_32_STABLE Branch from our github repository at: https://github.com/academic-moodle-cooperation/moodle-mod_publication/tree/MOODLE_32_STABLE?files=1
Cheers,

Hi,
Tahnks for this plugin.
i have installed and For this, we need also a code change. In the default settings of this activity, a period for the upload option is specified. This should be disabled by default. Can you please help me how can i change it.
many thanks for your help.

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your reply. I'm looking forward to the new versions, especially the version 3.2 which can be globally searchable. Since the student folder is very popular among our staff and students to share information, it will be great if the content can be searchable.
Best wishes,
Lina

Hi Lina,
glad to hear that the plugin is working with Moodle 3.1. We plan to release a version of the student folder for Moodle 3.1 with some small enhancements around September. But this version won't be searchable via Global Search yet. We haven't inspected the feature in detail yet, but I hope we can adapt the AMC plugins to be globally searchable for the 3.2 versions planned to be released around February/March next year.
Cheers,
Markus

Hi Markus. Many thanks for providing this plugin to the community; its functionality is really appreciated by our staff and students, and we’re really grateful to you for your efforts to maintain and update it.
On that note, please could I quickly query whether you have any plans to update the plugin to be fully compatible with Moodle v3.1, and its new Global Search feature in particular? To clarify: while we’ve tested the Student folder plugin under v3.1 and all of the core functionality seems to work fine, we’ve found that instances of the activity are not searchable via v3.1’s Global Search feature. Please see the following screenshot for details, which lists all of the available areas that can searched under v3.1 (note that these settings are available via: Site Administration -> Plugins -> Search -> Manage Global Search):

Note also that the above screenshot was taken on a v3.1 system where the Student folder plugin is installed and available. However, as you can see, the Student folder activity is not listed as being available to be searched. Obviously, this is likely to be a significant problem/cause of confusion for users who might want to search for specific instances of the Student folder activity across Moodle.
I’m not a developer, but my understanding is that mod plugins can be made searchable relatively easily via the addition of a new search class within the plugin’s codebase (located at ../classes/search/activity.php). Please see the following for further details:
https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=334938
https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/Global_search
https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Search_API
We really hope this search capability can be added to Student folder as I’m sure it would be a huge benefit to our users (as well as those of other v3.1 systems) and, again, many thanks for all your efforts to develop this plugin and share it with the community.
Best wishes,
Lina

We just published a version of the Student Folder Plugin for Moodle 3.0 and a bug fix release for Moodle 2.9.

Dear Dominik,
as I mentioned in the e-mail I‘ve sent to you, you can find this in locallib.php line 1068 publication::importfiles()

Hi, thanks for great plugin, it is very helpfully! So I have one question which is very important for me. Could you tell me please, in which file is defined sending files from another assingments to Student's folder? In my assingments students can send a PDF file by added coversheet for for attachment and I would like to resent this file to Student's folder, but your plugin do this only for documents which are sending by ordinary coversheet. If you could tell me this I'll be very glad for you. Thanks a lot!
