Featured Courses

Hola Daniel, he logrado resolverlo, muchas gracias, la complicación que se me presentó fue con la instalación del plugin anterior. Ahora todo está correcto y funcionando bien, el bloque se encuentra añadido a la derecha de la plataforma moodle. Adicional, quería consultar si es posible con algun código corto colocar el plugin en el centro de la página de inicio de tal manera que se muestre de forma horizontal. es posible hacerlo de alguna manera? algo similar a como se muestra en la captura de pantalla de este plugin. Agradezco nuevamente.

Olá, Mariuxi
Você deve ir em Administração do site / Plugins / Visão geral dos plugins e "Desinstalar" o bloco.
Depois disso você não deve remover o código do plugin, mas seguir a interface e fazer a reinstalação.
Isso deve resolver.

Gracias Daniel, tengo un problema y necesito tu ayuda. Debido a que con el plugin anterior se me presentaron los errores que cité en mensajes anteriores decidí desinstalarlo, pero desde el administrador de moodle no fue posible y se me cayó mi plataforma sin tener acceso a ninguna pantalla, entonces eliminé el plugin manualmente de mi sitio, es decir, fui al directorio de moodle y eliminé a su vez el directorio: futuredcourses/, luego ingresé a la base de datos y también borré manualmente la tabla mdl_block_futuredcourses.
Ahora, he descargado la nueva versión y la instalé, pero se me presenta el siguiente mensaje: "Error al leer de la base de datos", he verificado en la base de datos y no se ha creado la tabla que corresponde al plugin, interpreto que es la razón del mensaje, no se creó la tabla en la base de datos. Y de la instalación anterior, dejé cargado el bloque anterior en la pagina de inicio con el error y no logré eliminar el bloque (solo lo que hice manualmente). Por favor algún procedimiento que deba realizar para solucionar esta situación. Saludos y gracias.

Hello, Mariuxi
I just release a new version with this fixed.
Let me know if it works for you.
Best,
Daniel

Saludos, tampoco se encuentra uno de los métodos, tengo otro mensaje que aparece: Excepción - Call to undefined method stdClass::has_summary()

Saludos, por favor auxilio, una vez instalado, añadido y configurado el bloque en la página de inicio, me aparece el siguiente mensaje de error "Class 'course_in_list' not found", estoy usando Moodle 3.10. Gracias por su ayuda

Hi everyone, I'm running a moodle website for internal training, the featured course plugin is awesome,
is it possible to select courses to be displayed in horizon or vertical?

You must "Turn editing on" and go to your frontpage or the dashboard or a course. It will depend on your theme where you'll be able to add block on the frontpage.

Hello!
I installed the plugin (I'm using Moodle 3.5) and, after adding an instance of the block, I can't seem to find the option to include it on the frontpage (via admin/settings.php?section=frontpagesettings). There isn't any link to configure the block in admin/blocks as well. Where should I configure the block?

Hello, Phuong
it may work on 3.5, I didn't test it yet. Could you please test and report for us if it is working?
It would really be a nice feature if one could choose in which pages each course appear in. When I find some time to work on the plugin, I will consider it. In the mean time, consider sending a pull request =)
Best regards!

Hello, Michael
I fixed the visibility of the project on gitlab. Could you please try again and maybe submit a pull request to fix #1 ?
Unfortunately, I don't have the CSS, it was from a client's website I can't remember de address. But the new Moodle Dashboard has something that looks like that with the images of the courses in 3.5 version. You could take a look there =)
Best regards!

Sorry, ignore #3 above. That one is for a different plugin.

Hi Daniel,
1) I can't seem to sort the order of the featured courses. I can change the numbers for the sort order but there doesn't seem to be any way to apply the settings. The only button on the page is not enabled unless you are adding a new course to featured.
2) I created an account on GitLab however your project seems to be missing (or hidden) from your account. I get a 404 error when I try to access the project files and the bug tracker.
3) If I choose to display the sessions on the site calendar, they just don't appear. This wasn't the case with a previous version and I can still change the dates on the old sessions to make them show up in the calendar again. Just can't add new ones.
4) Would you happen to have some CSS handy to make sessions appear as seen in the screenshot for the Featured Courses plugin?

Hi Daniel,
Does it work on Moodle 3.5? It would be great if people could select courses to display either in front page or in dashboard or both.

Daniel: Thank you very much. That took care of it.
Tony: I haven't been able to reproduce the error you described on our Moodle 3.4.2+ with the latest plugin release. Comparing Daniel's code changes, there is nothing in the latest release that might cause the coding error you described. In fact, looking through the code, I didn't see anything that is requiring a CSS file at all. Can you provide Daniel with steps on how to reproduce the issue?
