Hi Dinis,
I haven't tested under 3.6 yet, but it will have the same sorting issues as 3.5.
Troy

Is it compatible with 3.6?

Hi Kimmo,
3.4 has been released. There is an issue in 3.5 with sorting conversation listing due to Bootstrap 4. All the other functionality works... just sorting is broken. I am currently investigating a fix which involves using traditional HTML select over Bootstrap 3 component which has been used.
Cheers,
Troy

Hi
Is there any progress on the 3.4 and 3.5 versions?

Hi Miguel Angel,
It will be in 2 weeks time. I will test the plugin for 3.4 and 3.5. I have started working on a plan for a refactor but other commitments had pushed to the side. This is to take advantage of global search, templates, bootstrap 4 support, clean up recipient picker. I will post to the community once get it in a reasonable state. But for now, I will make it my priority to make sure current code works in 3.4 and 3.5.
Thanks for your patience
Kind regards,
Troy

Hi, will they update to version 3.4 and 3.5 of moodle? When?
Best Regards, Miguel Angel.

Hi Bob,
Unsure if this is exactly what you require but you may be able to somewhat pseudo achieve this by overriding role capabilities per dialogue instance for “one student and all teachers” and using a bulk opener rule.
Override capability “mod/dialogue:open” to allow teacher role and prevent student role.
Override capability “mod/dialogue:replyany” to allow teacher role and prevent student role.
Create bulk opener rule that opens a new dialogue with each enrolled student.
This should allow "teacher to student" dialogue that any teacher can reply to.
Let me know if this works or not?
Regards,
Troy

Hi all,
I know that this plugin was intended as a two way discussion and has supposedly been replaced, but it /almost/ serves a purpose that no other activity does. It's extremely useful as a learning journal, as long as you give the view all privilege to teachers. It:
* Allows for discreet posts, instead of one huge post as the journal plugin does
* Supports attachments which messaging and the journal plugin does not do
* Allows for posts to be hidden from students, while letting teachers (or which ever role is given view all) which neither the forum or blog module does
So, as a request given that the plugin has been supposedly been replaced by messaging, do you think it would be possible to set some permissions layer in each instance of the activity itself. For example, set a dialogue to be 1:1, 1:m (e.g, one student and all teachers), maybe even go the whole hog and have a public setting.

Hi Troy,
It is enabled.
The notifications appear in the list when I click on the bell icon but the number does not, even when there is a new notification.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Have you enabled your dialogue notifications for web?
Cheers,

Hi Troy,
I have Moodle 3.2.7 (Build: 20180115), and Dialogue plugin 3.2.0 (2016112100).
I set up notification preferences to be "on" according to this link: https://docs.moodle.org/32/en/Notifications
But unfortunately the number next to bell icon does not appear on the recipient's site.
How to repair this function?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Troy
is 3.3-version going to be released soon?
In git it already reads "3.3.0-alpha" in version.php

Hi Melissa,
I will test if compatible for 3.2 this weekend. There were a couple of cosmetic issues I found at first glance when installed on Moodle 3.2. Not really show stoppers. But I still need to check it functionally works in Moodle 3.2.
Regards
Troy

Great plug in, we've just upgraded to 3.2, will there be a version compatible soon? if so when?

This is a great plugin!
It would be nice if the dialogue notifications also stated the course name, like the notifications from Moodle core features do.
