Progress Bar

Hi, Steven.
I'm not sure why an upgrade might lead to that, but it sounds like the file permissions might need to be checked. If you see any further error information, please let me know.

Hi Michael,
Any ideas to why I would receive a 403 forbidden error after upgrading from the 2015051200 version of the plugin?
I'm running Moodle 2.8.9 (Build: 20151109)
Thanks,
Steven

Hi, Cathal.
I'm not sure what that error relates to, but I doubt it is specific to the Progress Bar. Have you turned debugging on on your site? It might reveal more relevant information.

HI Michael, we emailed previously about the overview of students error. I accidentally updated and it happened again. i get this error in the log [16-Feb-2016 16:04:31 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/apc.so' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/apc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Hi Michael,
Regarding Anita's questions above about an excel export and your request for ideas regarding the issue..
An export of the "student overview" page would be very helpful. The idea for these exports would be to have more filter options and then also creating specific statistics with those exports, because sorting the users / percentage gives us less options in that aspect. We have users in many different countries and we would like to filter users by country and by progress.
Or can you recommend another way to use the "students overview" page so that we get more specific data?
Thank you! Tiffany

Thanks for responding Christer. Please do check the file permissions, Jason.
If that doesn't resolve your problem, please turn on Debugging in Moodle and check your error logs to see if there is any additional information that might point to an error taking place.

To all of you recieveing the "Internal server error 500". This is most likely due to wrong rights set to folder and files. Log in through FTP and set folder /blocks/progress rights to 755. Moodle checks if folders are writable by public or "others" and therefore denies acces to module if set wrong. Just change the rights to all files and folders to 755, and clear cache, reload and you should be fine.

Hi Mike, I have the same problem for no reason: "When logged in as a teacher, and in a course overview. Clicking the "Overview of Students" button, it leads to a "500 server error". I've disabled viewing progress bar block in Teacher permissions until I can resolve it. I'm running M2.9 with no upgrades recently, it just stopped working. Any insights? I'd report to Moodle Tracker but I'm a newbie in that department. Thank you for any assistance!

Hi, Anita.
This has been requested before. I created an issue for it...
https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-4964
It would be good if you could contribute your ideas there. What aspects of the overview page could be exported in a spreadsheet?

Hi Michael, thank you for this useful plugin. I have been using it for some time but recently I am wondering if it is possible to export the list (overview of students) to an excel file? I'm not sure if it has been asked before, I could not find it anywhere so far.. If the feature has already been there, would you mind letting me know how? If not possible yet, do you think that maybe you will develop it in the future? Thank you!

Hi, Rob.
There's no configuration option to hide progress bar contents from teachers. I know that most teachers want to see the bar, even if they are not completing the content of the course themselves, so that they can test that it works. I would also be hesitant to add such an option as the notion of a "teacher" is not always clear in a course; with capabilities, a user can be both a teacher and a student.
An easy workaround for people not wanting to see the block content is to minimise the block.

Is it possible to not have teachers monitored on the progress bar.
We have put the progress bar block on our Dashboard but staff don't like the fact that they have all red crosses. Is there a way to configure progress bars so only students, not teachers are monitored?

Hi, thank you so much. Not easy, but I found it
It was under Site admin > Server > Cleanup. PS: The courses runs for lifetime.
Thanks again. Ralf

Hi, Ralf.
Logging settings are controlled for each logging plugin at Site admin > Plugins > Logging. Assuming you are using the Standard logging plugin, the setting for that is "Keep logs for" and I assume you have that set to "365 days". Again, this is not necessarily a bad thing if you course runs for less than a year.

"I added that warning because of the block's dependence on the logs (for some actions). The block has determined that there is an admin setting set that causes log entries to be cleared after 365 days."
Thanks for the quick answer. But can you tell me, where I can find it? I have looked in Site administration, configuration of the block, configuration of the course. Best regards Ralf
