That is possible, but it would not be trivial. Could you create an issue on tracker.moodle.org and I'll think about it some more.

Thank you for answering my previous question. Now I have a feature request and I am not to sure how difficult it would be to implement. When configuring a block for a progress bar there is the setting for "visible only to group" which is nice, but I have a course (kind of a meta course, but not using that moodle feature) where it would be nice to also have "visible only to a grouping", but still allow the instructor be able see only their group in that grouping when checking the students' progress. What do you think? Is it doable?
In relation to quiz, attempted means started (quiz saves some information as the student progresses) and finished means they have submitted their attempt (the quiz adds a finishing time and this is what is checked).

A question about the action settings when using the progress bar for quizzes. There are 6 choices (attempted, finished, graded, passed, passed by deadline, and activity completion), but I am not sure what the difference is between attempted and finished. Does attempted count just clicking the quiz and not completing it? What and how does it decided what is "finished"? I looked for an explanation of the action setting, but most of them don't go into much detail.

To be honest, I haven't tested that. I don't have PHP7 running. If anyone does, please let us know here.

Thats a shame, but I did suspect that might be the answer.
Thank you regardless.
That is a conundrum. I would show the blocks only on the course page to start with. You could manually show/hide the blocks so that only the block for the current topic is shown. The can't think of any way to automate that.
I plan to improve the display of the bar for when lots of activities are included. See the issue below in relation to that.

We are already using the Progress Bar to show a student how far through the course they are and we are loving it.
Given our course is quite long, we’re hoping to apply to set up a Progress Bar for each of the subjects.
So in total - we would have 13. 1 for the course, and 12 - 1 each for each subject.
We have set up the monitoring and all this works.
Our problem now is that on every page of the course, all 13 Progress Bars appear. The only 2 display options are Any Page or Any Page Module Page.
Do you have any recommendations of how to approach this so that only the relevant Progress Bars show up?
Thank you,
Nathan
I'm not sure what you mean by "lesson" here. If you mean the Lesson activity, then this is seen as a single activity by the Progress Bar and progress within that activity won't be shown in parts. If you mean parts of a course, then you can have one or more Progress Bar activities for parts of your course.

Is there a way to have the progress bar show on one lesson only?
You might want to change permissions to 755 instead of 644, which will allow the file to be readable and executable, but not writeable.
Thank you. Great plugin BTW, we use it as our primary means when we do spot checks.
