Group self-selection

I am using this plugin 3.0.2 beta (20141215) in our new 2.8.3.
As a student, I can't add myself into the group by clicking on "becoming member of group xx". I am not part of any groups in the course. The next window keeps asking me to enter a password which I know there is NO password setup for the group (no lock icon).
Is there something I did wrong, or something wrong with the setting or code?
Thanks,
Bei

OK. Thanks Daniel and Pirkka. Here is what I REALLY and looking for.
I want to have some events with signups. Not uncommon with a blended environment. For this I wanted people to be able to sign up for multiple groups - and actually unsign as well. So there won't be a problem for me with things like assign.
I tried all the options in the plugins that I could find yesterday. https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Events_and_Signup_Plugins but thy all had a problem one way or another, like not installing on 2.8, requiring a Teacher's name to work etc.
If the addition of the signup to multiple groups was possible I'd like that. But obviously for Daniel's comment, it would need to be configurable.
Thanks

Please note that some plugins (like assign) may have problems with users that are members of more than one group in same grouping.

Hi Derek,
this plugin only allows users to join a single group per activity. It is however possible to create multiple activities of this type and use a different grouping for each activity or to manually add users to groups from the Groups page to get around this limitation.
It would not be a difficult task to implement a feature which would let users to join as many groups as specified in settings though.

I havve just installed this on Modle 8.2+ and it will not give me the option to join more than one group.

Hi all,
There is a new version of this plugin currently under development. It offers many new features, such as the possibility for the students themselves to create new groups, password protected groups, non-editing teacher assignment etc.
The repository of the project is https://github.com/birrel/moodle-mod_groupselect
Feel free to test it and I would be most thankful for any feedback that you may have.
BR,
Pirkka

Thank you Daniel for updating and Petr for developing. I use this plugin as a gamification tool to allow people to 'level up'. It would be great to see it merged with core.

Hello,
this is a nice plugin. I updated the code to work on 2.7 (should work on 2.6 too!).
It is available at github:
https://github.com/danielneis/moodle-mod_groupselect
Hope you like!

Our faculty really like this plugin. We are running it without problems on 2.4 and are hoping it will still work on 2.5.
This is a very useful plugin and we hope it won't be abandoned -- no updates since 2.1! (2011)

I just installed this plugin in Moodle 2.6. When I turn editing on while viewing a course, I get the following message:
The module groupselect does not define the standard capability mod/groupselect:addinstance
•line 2229 of /course/lib.php: call to debugging()
•line 1275 of /course/lib.php: call to course_allowed_module()
•line 439 of /course/renderer.php: call to get_module_metadata()

•line 56 of /course/format/topics/format.php: call to format_section_renderer_base->print_multiple_section_page()
•line 280 of /course/view.php: call to require()
Any idea how I might fix this?

Where is the setting to set the default "allow leaving of group"?

Sorry for the question ... but I've seen that can be defined in the role.
Allow leaving of group
mod/groupselect:unselect

Hello,
in the old version (1.9), students could take down the group without problems. But in version 2.0 (mod_groupselect_moodle20_2010010102.zip) can not find the way for a student to take down the group.
Could you help me with this problem?
Thanks for everything.
Sincerely,
PD: moodle 2.5

Hello, this plugin is not maintained due to lack of funding, sorry.
