Group choice

Hi Michael, thanks for offering.
1) yes
2) when I've made sur it works flawlessly on Moodle 3.0
3) individual fixes please

Hi Nicolas, I would like to contribute some additional fixes to the plugin.
1) Is the version on GitHub your most recent?
2) When are you planning on releasing the next version?
3) Would you prefer individual fixes or a rollup of multiple fixes?

Thanks. I'll be looking into it in the next couple of weeks, as I'll be releasing an update, officially supporting Moodle 2.9.

That is very true, good point. Perhaps a back button as Mike suggested would be more suitable than my idea. In any way, great work Nicolas.

Hi Martin,
Indeed, that would make sense. I have to look into it and check what would be a clearer display of what is happening/has happened to the end user, without confusing long-time users, who are used to the current behaviour of the plugin.

Hi Nicolas,
All I was trying to say is that from the most obvious use case - 1. user enters the Group Choice activity, 2. user selects a group 3. user goes back to continue the course and see activities relevant to his group. I feel it is counter intuitive to go back to the screen which prompts me to select a group - I just did that after all...
In essence I am just reinforcing what Mike Keyes wrote 24 Feb 2014, 9:22 PM - any way to add a link/button to return to the course? users are not sure how to get back.
Cheers, Martin

Hi Martin,
No, little chance of this ever happening. I can't think of any other Moodle module behaving like that, and I don't want to confuse users with a feature "quitting" after usage. I hope I understood you well, if not feel free to explain further.

Hi Nicolas,
wonderful work! Any chance the next version will re-direct users back to the course after they have made a selection? The current setup is rather confusing for the users.
All the best,
Martin

Hi Carina,
I haven't tried, but as this module uses Moodle's API which abstracts DB calls, the underlying DB should be irrelevant. So it should be working fine on top of an Oracle database.

Hi!
Has anybody tried this plugin over an installation with Oracle DB?
Thanks!

Monica,
Thanks for pointing this out. Indeed, these instructions refer to an older version of the module and have to be updated. I'll correct this for the next release of the plugin.

Hi Pascal,
Sorry about that. I just released a new version taking care of this. The plugin works now as expected on Moodle 2.7 and 2.8.

Hi,
We installed the lastest version and now we got this error when we try to access to choicegroup activity :
Fatal error: Call to undefined method cm_info::create() in /moodle/mod/choicegroup/lib.php on line 832
We are running Moodle 2.7.5 and we found that the create() function does not exist in Moodle 2.7 !
The function only exists in moodle 2.8.
You can check this here :
> http://fossies.org/dox/moodle-2.8.3/classcm__info.html
"Static Public Member Functions
static create ($cm, $userid=0)"
> http://fossies.org/dox/moodle-2.7.5/classcm__info.html
no create() function
Can you fix it ? (maybe by creating branchs for each version ?)
I create an issue : https://github.com/ndunand/moodle-mod_choicegroup/issues/63

Hi Nicolas,
I've installed the newest version while upgrading to Moodle 2.7.3. Is the help text correct for the setting Groups?
'Here is where you specify the options that participants have to choose from.
You can fill in any number of these. If you leave some of the options blank, they will not be displayed. If you need more options, click the "Add 3 fields to form" button.'
Cheers.

Hi Luigi,
I didn't have time to implement this so far. I'll keep it in mind though as it is visible in the GitHub issues of this plugin.
