tool_supporter

About

With the Supporter you can simply find & manage your students and courses - all in one, intuitve window.

It is the successor to the Moodle Analyst which was also created at the TU Darmstadt.

The Supporter is developed with asynchronous calls and thus only retrieves the information from the database which are needed, not requiring reloading of the whole page; bringing a whole new user experience to moodle admins.

It has the standard Moodle Capability-Checks built-in so there are no extra capabilites needed and multiple levels of Support can be accomplished (see chapter "Capabilites").

Features

• Find Students & Courses


• Display additional information about your students
  
  
  
  • Enrolled Courses/Students
  
  
  • Amount of enrolled Students
  
  
  
  


• Enrol users into courses


• Create a new Course


• Delete users from courses


• Hotlinks to additional Features
  
  
  
  • Edit, Settings, Visibility of courses
  
  
  • Log in as the selected user
  
  
  
  

Prerequisites

• This version is tested on Moodle 3.10, 3.11 (branch 310, master), 4.1, 4.2 (branch 4_dev, without link in navigation)


• For Moodle 3.9 and older use v1.03


• It is highly recommended to activate compression to reduce transmitted data (e.g. from 4.36MB to 1.05 MB)
  
  
  
  • Add "zlib.output_compression = On" in php.ini
  
  
  • Or add deflate to your apache/nginx/lighttpd, see https://docs.moodle.org/en/Performance_recommendations
  
  
  
  

Installation

• Copy/Clone to https://YOURSITE/admin/tool/ directory
  
  
  
  • Alternatively use git clone https://github.com/eLearning-TUDarmstadt/moodle-tool_supporter admin/tool/supporter in your moodle root
  
  
  
  


• Enable database upgrade


• Go to https://YOURSITE/admin/tool/supporter or Site Administration->Reports->Supporter

Capabilites

With this Plugin, we strove to implement all necessary Moodle-capabilities. As such, there is no need to give users additional caps.
If there is a need to divide different levels of support, these caps need to be set on a system-context:

Level 1 Support (read-only):

• moodle/site:viewparticipants


• moodle/user:viewdetails (requires site:viewparticipants)


• moodle/course:viewhiddencourses


• moodle/course:view (requires course:viewhiddencourses)

level 2 Support (also write):

• Read-Capabilites from above


• moodle/user:loginas


• moodle/course:create


• moodle/course:update


• enrol/manual:enrol
  
  
  
  • This requires the defined role to be able to "Allow role assignments" in its settings
  
  
  
  

Configuration

• Blocks are disabled by default and the nav drawer gets closed for maximum viewing


• The settings can be accessed with the cog in the header or by going to /admin/settings.php?section=tool_supporter

Limitations

As of now, only 2 layers of course categories are represented.

If there is a need to divide different levels of support, these caps need to be set on a system-context:

Level 1 Support (read-only):

• moodle/site:viewparticipants


• moodle/user:viewdetails (requires site:viewparticipants)


• moodle/course:viewhiddencourses


• moodle/course:view (requires course:viewhiddencourses)

level 2 Support (also write):

• Read-Capabilites from above


• moodle/user:loginas


• moodle/course:create


• moodle/course:update


• enrol/manual:enrol
  
  
  
  • This requires the defined role to be able to "Allow role assignments" in its settings
  
  
  
  

Configuration

• Blocks are disabled by default and the nav drawer gets closed for maximum viewing


• The settings can be accessed with the cog in the header or by going to /admin/settings.php?section=tool_supporter

Limitations

As of now, only 2 layers of course categories are represented.
