Progress Bar

Hi, Richard.
A few people have asked have asked for more colours in the Progress Bar, but I've been holding out against that, with the main reason being to keep the display simple and intuitive.

Hi, Emilie.
Your suggestion sounds like that in an existing request. Perhaps you should vote on https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-5026.

Hi Michael,
I have presented the progress bar to many teachers (around 100 working with Moodle). One of the most asked questions is this:
Can the progress bar also get an orange colour?
The following colors:
Blue - not attempted yet
Red - to late
Green - passed
Orange - Turned in, but not yet passed
The orange colour is not yet available... is it possible to make this?

Hi Michael
Great plugin !
We installed it on our Moodle and it's a real added-value for courses with many activities.
By the way, we received this suggestion from teachers we'd like to submit you :
When a teacher views the progress bar with all his students, if he mouses over a block of student A to see the related activity,
the activity appears correctly, but when he mouses out student A and mouses over activity of student B, activity of student A remains displayed.
Perhaps it would be insteresting to show only activities of current student to lighten the view. (optimise the screen when a teacher has many students)
Hope my suggestion is clear
Thanks and best regards
Emilie

Hi Michael,
I understand what your saying, but it is still not what I mean. The condition itself must also be stored somewhere. I probably can't explain it clearly because English is my second language.
Last try:
Say I add a progressbar to a course. I add an activity to the progress bar to be followed. The condition is that it turns green upon being viewed.
Now I alter the condition. The new condition is it turns green when the activity is not just viewed but passed.
Where did this alteration of the condition take place? Where is it stored in Moodle?

The Progress Bar draws from the tables used by the modules. In your example, submission is drawn from the assignment submissions table, while the pass is queried from the grades table. In that sense, the Progress Bar is passive. There is some caching of log queries now, but that's just for views of resources.

Hi Michael,
I mean something different. Say assignment A will turn green upon submission and Assignment B will turn green when passed.
Where is this information stored? The information per assignment.
I thought there would be a SQL table like mdl_block_progressbar or something to store this info.

The code that is used to determine if a bar segment should be green is found in blocks/progress/lib.php.
If you are using TurnItIn (a privately distributed plugin) and are able to help improve the set of actions for that activity, please pass on your modifications.

Michael, where are the conditions for the progress bar stored? I can't find it. I mean the condition that turns the progress bar green.

I know, but that's not the problem. Due to the wrong translation I have chosen the wrong option to show the progress bar as green (activity completion I think)

Hi, Richard.
If there is a string change needed, it should not affect the configuration of your blocks.
You can change it locally via Site admin > Language > Language customisation (sorry, that's the English path).
Language translations for plugins are not distributed with plugins any more. If you would like to make change that benefits all Nederlandse sprekers you can do so yourself at http://lang.moodle.org

You are right, I missed that for obvious reasons: these options have not been translated correctly in Dutch. It says 'voorbij'... which makes no sense. It should say 'behaald'.
Crap. Now I have to set up all progress bars again. Let's see if I can do that using SQL. Can you alter the translation in the next release please?

Hi, Richard.
I'll have to look into your suggestion for incorporating the Progress Block's bar into the Course overview block.
For the Assignment module, the Progress Bar can show three actions: submitted, marked and passed. Or do you mean the "TurnItIn" assignment, which only has a submitted action?

See https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-46906

The fact that I have a lot of feedback is because I really like this So here's more:
Right now the green color makes no distinction between a turned in assignment, a turned in assignment that has been reviewed by a teacher, a turned in and failed assignment and a turned in and passed assignment.
It would be great if this would somehow be visible in colors.
