Progress Bar

Hi, Andy.
Thanks for reporting that.
I've not seen that particular error message before, but it could be there is a conflict with another installed plugin (this happened in the past, see https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-4429). If you don't have the latest version of the plugin, please grab a new copy. If you do, perhaps you could temporarily turn on debugging to see if more information comes out; please collect this into a Tracker issue so I can work on it.

Running version 2.5 and all is good until I click the 'Overview of Students' button where I receive the following on screen error "[an error occurred while processing this directive]" it works perfectly on my test site but not on live. Any ideas?

Hi, Stuart. This is possible, but a better alternative for you would be to an assignment without any forms of submission. Then you get all the grading benefits. This is equivalent to the old assignment's "Offline assignment".

Is there anyway the progress bar can measure labels with activity completion? Some of the tasks I want to place in the progress bar are label descriptions of offline activities that users manually check off. I can't seem to add these to the progress bar.

Hi Michael - thanks very much for the reply, really appreciated. Guess I'm running out of reasons not to upgrade...
Thanks again

Hi, Patrick.
First, I'd like to encourage you to upgrade from 1.9, which is now completely out of support. In saying that, I know there are still a large number of people using it.
I have seen this before. I suspect your problem is that the configuration data stored for the block in the database is exceeding the size that can be contained in the database. The block tries to store its configuration, this is truncated and when it is restored it either fails or results in an incomplete configuration. This can happen when you have a large number of activities/resources in your course. This is not a problem for Moodle 2.x. You could try to encourage your DB to store more information in text fields, but then that could have a performance impact on your site.
I'm sorry that there's not a simple workaround for this.
Michael.

Hi Michael,
I know you probably don't support questions about older installs, but I have been using your block with a Moodle 1.9 course for a few years now, but have come up against a problem - I'm getting an error message stating:
unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 49147 of 49151 bytes in /var/www/vhosts/*******.com/******/****/blocks/moodleblock.class.php on line 648
It seems like I've exceeded some kind of limit - when I delete a few resources, everything still works. I've kept the file names simple just in case it was a problem with # / " or other symbols, but it seems to be just a numbers thing. Is this something you've come across before by any chance?
Thanks!
Patrick

For those interested... I've just uploaded a new version that includes ability to monitor Advanced Forums, uses activity completion dates as defaults and fixed a bug with section ordering.

Hi, Hazael.
No, the overview is not available in the 1.9 version.

Hi Michael,
Is the Overview of Students screen available in version for Moodle 1.9?
Thanks.

Hi, Yuki.
IMS content packages can be monitored in Moodle 2.x with my more recent version. If this is important to you, I recommend upgrading. Moodle 1.9 has not been a supported version for quite a while and I don't intend to backport any of my changes to 1.9.

Why cant progress bar count "Add an IMS content pakge" as a monitored item? [Moodle 1.9] Please reply.

There was a suggestion earlier to involve activity completion expected dates. I'm trying to work out the best way to do this (the easy way or the hard way). I'd appreciate opinions on this issue at...
