Datalynx

Dear Csaba, yes there is the possibility to make a field required: Go to the manage section in datalynx then select the tab "Fields" and the you have got the tab "Behavior". Click on the "Behavior". You can create a behavior that includes a required statement. Than you can add that behavior to the field in the editor. For Moodle 4.5 we do not have a GUI for that yet, but it is in the works. You can write the field like that: behaviorname. So basically you can also control which role can see a field and also define how the value of the field is rendered.

Hi, Is there any solution to set a field Required in Datalynx plugin?

Yes you can do that. Create a view with a filter that restricts displaying entries "author is me". And give view priviliges for students only to the view with that filter.

Hi i wanted to ask if there is a setting which makes a student only see their own entry ..not other student entries?

Yes, this is possible. But we can't give you any free support in achieving what you want. You can always ask for paid support by visiting our website.

Hi David,
I need to build evaluation forms, some to be filled by students and some to be filled by teachers. They should be published as site level. Is this possible using datalynx?
Thanks,

Hi Gerald,
could you submit a bug report in our github repo? With stack trace and all the additional info necessary like PHP version.
Kind regards,
David

Hi David,
We use datalynx on an upgraded Moodle Version (M3.9->M4.1) and encountered this Notice: "Notice: Undefined variable: param10 in /var/www/html/moodle/mod/datalynx/field/userinfo/renderer.php on line 168". What can be the reason for this?
Gerald

Dear John, indeed you are right. As for now the file field only supports a single file type. This is due to have backward compatibility. Introducing support for multiple file types would need change in data structure and require some programming. You could make a feature request on github. We are also happy if you want to contract us for implementing that.
Kind regards,
David

Hi - I am working with a File field, but I cannot figure how to have more than 1 kind of file type be acceptable. I Tried to ctrl + click on options in the drop-down. Each selection just replaces the last. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

@John Fixed the bug: I removed sorting for the column (is not really useful anyways). New version uploaded

Thank again - I will try to not bother you here and use the GitHub for issues.

@John: Meanwhile to get rid of the error: You have to logout and log in again. The filter is saved in the session. So starting a new session will delete the filter and you can access the fields tab again.

OK, I could replicate it and created a bug report: https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_datalynx

Thank you, I will try the copy and 'reset' table view. I was able to reproduce error; I duplicated my datalynx and re-followed my steps with the 'convert' header:
