Hi, trying to parse a few features in the description :
"immediate enrolment (checkbox)" - are you talking about enrolling into a group, becoming a member to group? I'm confused by your use of 'enrollment' here. Thanks
We just published version 3.3.2 of the Grouptool plugin for Moodle 3.3 fixing various small bugs (see CHANGELOG.txt).
Hi, we set this value due to Group names getting too long in our instances otherwise. But it might be a good idea to have the length customiseable - would you mind creating a feature request on our github-repository (https://github.com/academic-moodle-cooperation/moodle-mod_grouptool/issues/)?
And if you need the changes right now and are familiar with PHP or have at least access to the Moodle's source code, you can replace line 254 of "YOURMOODLEDIR"/mod/grouptool/locallib.php with
$data[$key] .= substr($member->$tag, 0, 5);
(Attention: The line number is only valid for the Version v3.3.1 and may differ in other versions!)
Hello, Thanks for a wonderful plugin! Providing this to the Moodle community is laudable. A question about naming of groups during Auto creation: If I use [lastname] # it takes the first 3 characters of the student's lastname only. This is difficult to recognize. Can this be increased to at least 5 or even better use the full first name of the student? Thanks.
We just published version 3.3.1 of the Grouptool fixing a bug in the update script (failing CLI upgrades due to non-disabled capability checks when updating calendar events).

@Ricardo Caiado: sorry for not answering you for so long (I forgot to subscribe to the comments): The Moodle 3.2 upgrade is currently still on it's way. From development point of view it's looking good and we're introducing some additional features, but won't release a new version until our testing team has finished QA testing! If you want to test it also, or follow the current development process, we're having the master branch - which represents currently the development for 3.2 on github: https://github.com/academic-moodle-cooperation/moodle-mod_grouptool
But please be aware that the master branch is subject to possible rebases/resets in the current state of our development process.
Any upgrade to Moodle 3.2?

mod_grouptool (an add-on) is not quite coded directly.
The SQL should be:
SELECT grp.id id, agrp.id agrpid, MAX(grp.name) AS name, MAX(agrp.sort_order) AS sort_order
FROM mdl_groups grp LEFT JOIN mdl_grouptool_agrps agrp ON agrp.groupid = grp.id
LEFT JOIN mdl_groupings_groups ON mdl_groupings_groups.groupid = grp.id
LEFT JOIN mdl_groupings grpgs ON mdl_groupings_groups.groupingid = grpgs.id
WHERE agrp.grouptoolid = ? AND agrp.active = 1
GROUP BY grp.id, agrp.id
ORDER BY sort_order ASC, name ASC
