We use Moodle in a work environment (very techie) and one of the things we like to do is ensure pairs are created so that we have both a techie and non-techy person involved. Can anyone think of a way that it might be possible to tag yourself as techie or non-techie? Doing this manually is terrible, cross referencing job roles and the like is time consuming even for a small number of users. It would be great to get users to do this for themselves.

Bonjour,
I installed it on Moodle 3.9.1 but I face an issue : a student cannot create a group.
Roger Barras
Hi the current version will be tested for 3.9. I expect it should work for moodle 3.9 without a change.
Frank Martini
Hello, is an update to 3.9 planned and if so when? smile

Hello, Roger,
I think I've found a typo in
component: mod_groupselect
string: hidegroupmembers_help
Instead of: "or if the can access all groups", maybe it should be: "or if they can access all groups".
Thank you,

Hi Sara how to organize student in groups
Roger Barras
Hi Sara another reason might be the capabilies of "course:viewparticipants" are set to "no" for the students or the role of the students. Check this under user persission of the course or set it global as a moodle admin. The plugin is checking this property for visability of the group members.
Sara Bell
thanks Roger. I've tried it with group mode, 'no group', 'separate group' and 'visible groups' but the members names still don't show to students. Is there a permission they need to see them?
Roger Barras
Hi Sara, it depends how your activity is set up. Separate groups means, that members of other groups are not visible in that activity for the students. This is a basic moodle feature for all activities. You could find this under "common moduel settings" as "group mode". But yes member of the own group should be always visible.
Sara Bell
We have version 3.14 of this plugin installed on moodle 3.3 version. Can you clarify whether student's should be able to see the other members of the group in the members list rather than 'members not available' please. If they should, how do we enable this, thanks.
Roger Barras
Hi yes I will do further tests in February to ensure that it is working properly for version 3.7 and 3.8, but it seems there is no issue so far for those moodle versions. Some new further are planned but not sure yet, what will be inlcuded in the next version.

Hi! any planning for upgrading the plugin for Moodle 3.7 and 3.8? Thank you!

@ Roger Barras - Can you add an option in the settings to hide the Members column?
Lee Bannister
@ Roger Barras - Yes I would like it so that students cannot see any students in other groups, which I know is easy using separate groups, but I also don't want them to know who in their group when selecting. This way there is no outside influence on their choice, they can pick what they want not what their friends have already chosen.

Hi Roger,
I just wondering if you would be able to include a switch to enable the group chat setting for Moodle 3.6?
Kind regards,
Adam
