Hi, thanks for your message. We actually have a fix for the issue that you have highlighted that will be out in our next build. Could you log a support case by e-mailing support@medial.com as we could make a pre-release version available to you if you are willing to try it out on a non prod Moodle?
Dear Medial Team
We started experiencing an issue with this plugin when students submit a video assignment in groups, with the group mode in the Assignment activity enabled.
Description:
Whenever grouped students are attempting to submit a video assignment, they are guided through the necessary steps to upload a video and the video upload progress bar completes. However at the end of the process when they click Save, they get an error message on top of the page saying "Nothing was Submitted". Also, the submission status inside of the Assignment activity says that there is no submission. Finally, even though the submission status says that there is no submission, when you navigate to the Assignment activity and view all submissions, a link to the video appears in the Video Assignment column. In conclusion, it seems like the video is being uploaded but students still get the 'Nothing was Submitted' error message and the submission status says that there is no submission.
We rely on this plug-in for our formal assessment submissions so it would be great if this bug was fixed asap.
Thanks for your help!
Is is possible to enable peer assessment, can students view each others video submission and leave comments as feedback.
Thanks for fixing the raised issues. You are cleared to land now, welcome to the Plugins directory.
Hi. Thanks for sharing this plugin with the community. While reviewing the code, I spotted some parts that should be fixed.
I noticed that the recommended boilerplate was not used in the version.php file. The boilerplate is recommended at the beginning of each file and makes explicit the GPL license. You may want to review http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding_style#Files to learn more about the boilerplate comments.
You are mixing $plugin and $module declaration in the version.php. Please use just $plugin. Also, your plugin depends on the mod_helixmedia being installed. Please declare that dependency explicitly in order to prevent unexpected errors. Please see https://docs.moodle.org/dev/version.php for details.
I am getting the warning "Undefined property: stdClass::$version in /mod/assign/submission/helixassign/settings.php on line 23". Please use the development debugging level while working on Moodle plugins development and don't ignore the raised notices.
It is encouraged to follow Moodle’s coding style as outlined in: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding_style and http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding The code checker plugin can be quite helpful in fine tuning your code and can be found at: https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=local_codechecker You may wish to consider using that tool to further improve your plugin.
For now, I am going to mark this plugin as needing more work until we get these issues resolved. Thanks for your patience with the review and approval process.
Thanks for sharing this plugin with the Moodle community. Some formal issues were detected and reported by our automated plugin checker tool. Please review all the plugin checker results and fix the issues mentioned, if possible. These changes are typically pretty easy to make but if you have any questions just let us know. For now, I am going to mark this plugin as needing more work. Once you get these formal issues resolved, please use the link “Schedule this plugin for re-approval” so that the plugin code can be fully reviewed and approved by my human colleagues.
