Hi Amanda. We just upgraded to the latest version of this plugin and (under Moodle 3.3.4) encountered the following error which prevented Moodle's cron from running:
Fatal error: Class 'advanced_testcase' not found in /var/www/html/moodle/local/culcourse_visibility/classes/task/update_course_visibility.php on line 37
We actually ended up having to uninstall the plugin in order to get cron running again. Please can I ask if you have any suggestions re. how to resolve this issue? Many thanks.

Hi Amanda, I would like to know if this pluign hides courses from the current date.
Amanda Doughty
mdl_course.enddate can be set in the course settings in 3.1 and earlier: /course/edit.php?id=#

Hi Amanda,
This settings (mdl_course.enddate) is only available in "3.3". I'm using "3.1"

It is based on the end date in the course settings: mdl_course.enddate. So it will make the course hidden on that date if you select that in the plugin settings. It does not work on a per user basis using enrollments.

Hi,
How do I set up the end date?
Do I have to config the "enrol plugin" instead of the "Course settings"?

Thank you very much Tomasz and David. I shared it because someone asked for the functionality in the developer forum. I've already made the three prechecker changes and uploaded to github. I'll update the zip now.

Thanks Amanda for sharing the plugin with the community, and thanks Tomek for providing the peer-review. I am happy to approve the plugin now. You are cleared to land, welcome to the Plugins directory!

It's a very simple plugin - but it does what it says. There are no problems with the code - you may just want to fix 3 minor problems with phpdoc as reported by prechecker above, to keep it quiet!
You can also bump supported version - I've tested it on Moodle 3.0 and it works OK.
I recommend to go ahead and approve this plugin as it is.

Hi Amanda,
