Some minor refactoring (to keep code checker happy) and all functionality still works fine in Moodle 3.10.
Automated tests + a few manual checks, suggest this is working fine in Moodle 3.9
All looks to be working fine in Moodle 3.8.
Hi, what I would find really useful is to have the lesson objectives linked to a planning calendar, that is to say I'd like to be able to set the lesson objectives maybe a month in advance. As I see it right now, I can only set the objectives at the start of the week, or by scrolling through a sort of week-by-week calendar. Would it be possible to have like a calendar block where you select the month, then select the week and then you would select your day/time slot. Just a thought.
You can set objectives for as far ahead as you want - just switch to a different week, using the links at the top of the 'edit objectives' page.
All automated tests passing in Moodle 3.4
All automated tests passing in Moodle 3.2 (with some minor tweaks to the behat tests)
You haven't answered my question about the timestamp on forum posts - are they working as expected?
It is far easier to discuss these sort of things via email, please contact me via moodle@davosmith.co.uk
Thanks much. Just checked system admin time zone settings. Both Default Timezone and Force Timezone are set to UTC+8. Time here is 7 AM, but objectives block says "No lesson objectives at the moment (11 PM).
When clicking, most of the time the page does re-load, but the box remains unticked.
Thoughts?
1. The plugin requests the current time from the server and then formats it as a date/time based on the current user's timezone. Unless I've missed something this is the same way that all times work in Moodle. When you post a message into a forum, does the timestamp correctly match the time when you created the post? (If not, then you might want to check your timezone setting).
2. I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'clicking the check-boxes is usually not successful' - do you mean nothing at all happens when you click on an objective? Or does it reload the page, but not update the objective state? Does it give an error message? Or something different? Does it work when not viewing full-screen, or does it work when viewing full-screen, or does it not work in either case?
The ticking-off of objectives is very simple code (it doesn't do anything with javascript - it simply follows a link to reload the page and mark them as complete), so there isn't a lot to go wrong in it.
Love the plugin, but have two issues I hope I can clear up:
1. The clock on the plugin is not in sync with my server clock, so the times I set for display (local time) lead me to a "no objectives" type page. It seems to be behind a good 10 hours or so.
2. Clicking the check-boxes is usually not successful.
I'm on 2.6 latest stable, and I typically use Firefox, if that helps.
Otherwise, very useful plugin! Thanks for that!
