Mass Actions block

Hi Clem,
I just tried to translate some strings, but your plugin doesn't seem to be integrated into AMOS. Do you know wether this is normal? Is it a bug?

@Derek Chirnside
The problem she reported should be fixed. The block was previously coded to work only with certain course formats. The latest version available does not possess this limitation.

Elizabeth, did you get collapsed topics issue sorted? - Derek

@Sebastian, see discussion about the "Assignment Reset Tool" in https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-30049?filter=14374 and at https://github.com/fernandooliveira/moodle-block_art_24 Documentation is here: http://moodlefn.com/docs/MoodleFN_Assignment_Reset_Tool.pdf - this doesn't allow you to set "access from" and "access to" dates, but could probably be extended to do so. It also only works on assignments, not other activities, but at least it's a starting point.

We've noticed a conflict between this plugin and certain course formats, especially Collapsed Topics. When Collapsed Topics is selected as the Course Format, this block does not appear in the drop-down list, nor will it display. If we set the course to Topics or Weeks, the block works again. If we set the course format back to Collapsed Topics, the block disappears again.

@Sebastien Jaffredo,
I am not aware of a block or plug-in that could do this for you. I'll bring the idea up to our analysts and see how useful they feel this might be for our users. If they like the idea, then I'll see about getting work on that prioritised, whether that is my coding such a thing from start to finish or merely contributing to someone else's work. I'm not sure how you could set such a thing up to affect multiple courses and multiple activities within those courses simultaneously. Obviously, you probably could, but it would probably be easiest to make it work at a course level. Also, how often would changing these settings across multiple courses really be useful?

Hi
Do you know any way to do something similar with activity settings? I need to change the "Allow access from" and "Allow access until" settings to a series of activities in one go.
Even better: being able to do this across many different courses, instead of just one at a time.

I can echo that it all looks correctly installed, but nothing on the drop down to add an instance.

Hi
Running 2.6.4 and can confirm it's not appear in Blocks list, though has installed.
Any ideas? Would be a huge help!
Thanks!

Hello !
In debug mode, I've got an error easy to fix : (Moodle 2.5)
Invalid get_string() identifier: 'massaction:addinstance' or component 'block_massaction'. Perhaps you are missing $string['massaction:addinstance'] = ''; in /var/www/moodle/www/blocks/massaction/lang/en/block_massaction.php?
Can you add a line like this in lang/en.php ?
$string['massaction:addinstance'] = 'Add a new Mass Action block';
Thanks !

I have Moodle 2.6 and MassAction 2013112101. MassAction installs, appears in the block list and the list of teacher permissions, but does not appear in the list of blocks.

In debug mode, I see:
Invalid get_string() identifier: 'massaction:addinstance' or component 'block_massaction'.
Perhaps you are missing $string['massaction:addinstance'] = '';
in ../moodle/blocks/massaction/lang/en/block_massaction.php?
And indeed that file is missing such a line...

This block is nice and useful !
But i can't find it in AMOS to make/upgrade the french translation...

@Chiu Charlie: there was a javascript error when used with 2.6 (and 2.5?) that break the page' script, fixed this in version 2013112101.

We used it on 2.3x, 2.4x all working fine with one drawback, once the block enabled, the core's moving resource/activity no longer working.
To move a single resource/activity position within a unit, you have to clear this add-on block.
Hope anyone can confirm or show me other ways to make this two task can work together. Otherwise, hope the future version can address this problem
