Skype

Do your students see an, Edit button, when they go to the Skype block in Moodle? Mine DO NOT. If yours do, you have something set up wrong. A teacher, even without a Skype ID can edit the Skype activity in Moodle. Students cannot and should NOT see the edit button. However, since this block plugin is more or less, just links to the actual Skype application, they can do anything from the block, that they can do in the actual Skype application. So, in Moodle, students will see buttons for Create Conference, Create Chat, Send Voicemail, Add Contact, and a link to Send File.

Hi AL,
after fixing this error "Down around line 76, remove or comment out the following line: $PAGE->set_button(update_module_button($cm->id, $course->id, get_string('modulename', 'skype')));"
I have problems with account students ... the same interface of the teacher appears ... they have the possibility to create conferences, chats etc ..
how can i disable edit page?

Thanks AL! I will try that and give feedback later stay safe!

Hi Miguel,
To answer your first question re: Coding error detected...open the Skype view.php file. Down around line 76, remove or comment out the following line: $PAGE->set_button(update_module_button($cm->id, $course->id, get_string('modulename', 'skype')));
Your second question re: Nobody is enrolled for this Skype type...if memory serves me correctly this means, no one rnrolled in the course has listed their Skype id in their profile.

Hi
After I add skype to a course, when I click the skype activity link on the course page, I get a page with the message:
"Nobody is enrolled for this Skype type"
Any idea why? cheers

For anyone interested, the link listed up above for for this plugin's, Source control URL, will take you to my github for Skype where you can get a branch 3.5.0+ version that implements calendar entries for chattime, timeopen and timeclose.

@Alehandro - sent you a private message regarding skype version using calendar events.

Sorry for the late reply. Hate to say this, but the original creator and current maintainer of the Skype plugin has never added in the code for Skype calendar events. It would also require the addition of some new database fields.

Thanks AL for your very quick replies.
When setting up a Skype activity, we can set the date and time of the skype call that is going to happen.
Is there a way to automatically show that in the calendar?

Since the Skype plugin really just acts like an address book, you could probably achieve what you want with, Restrictions, so that only teachers could see the Skype in Moodle.

Thank you for the quick response!!! I actually grabbed the latest version from GIT and it works without any modifications, so all good
I do have a question regarding permissions. The only settings I can see regarding permissions is the "Manage Entries" and "View"
Right know I have tested with a student account and a teacher account and both of them can start skype conversations from this module
Is there a way for only Teachers to start a conversation from this module?
Thanks again

If you make the changes mentioned in comments above, yes it works. Don't know of any documentation, but it is very easy to figure out.

Does it work with Moodle 3.7?
Is there any documentation in order to know how to use it?
Thank you,

Yes, it does seem to work in the latest Chrome for me.

its work with last versión of google chrome?
thx
