Thank you Nicolas!
Hi Matthew,
Thanks for the reminder. I just uploaded the new version, which you can as of now download directly from this page. Note the the current (newest) version only supports Moodle 2.7 and above – so for people interested in using the plugin on older versions of Moodle, please check the "Download versions" link near the top of this page.
Hi Nicolas, does Group Choice work in 2.7?
Hi Simon,
No, it won't disrupt anything as the choices aren't recorded in the activity but only in the groups. As long as you don't delete any groups (in the course groups management settings), the members of each group (and hence the "choices" of the Group Choice activity) will not change.
Hi Nicolas, Thank you for your speedy reply!
When you mentioned:
"Edit the current activity and (using the group selection drop-down menus) set each group (choice) in the wanted order."
Does modifying the choice names and groups whilst users have already 'joined' the groups (so that a 'new inserted' choice 'appears') disrupt users?
Thanks
Simon
Hi Simon,
There is no way at this time to rearrange the order of the choices. However, this problem can be circumvented (albeit not very elegantly) by doing one of the following:
- Create a new activity and add the choices is the wanted order: the choices done so far will be "reported" into the new activity, as the group memberships are already set. Once you're happy with the new setup you can remove the original activity and replace it with the new one.
OR
- Edit the current activity and (using the group selection drop-down menus) set each group (choice) in the wanted order.
Hi Nicolas, Great plugin! using it very well!
I just wanted to ask if there is a way to re-arrange the order of choices once they are created?
i.e.
choice 1
choice 2
choice 3
now if I want to add a choice called 'choice 1.2', this will appear below 'choice 3'.
I don't mind if we have to move the choices manually or if they are alphabetical, just that they can be re-arranged.
Help!
Thanks
Simon
Backup and Restore doesn't work with Moodle 2.5.4 (mod_choicegroup_moodle26_2014010100)
The Activity is restored, but choice options is nil, and responses is 0 too.
Hi Bonnie,
I just saw from your PM that you have figured it out. Here it is for consistency's sake: the "Limit the number of responses allowed" setting has to be set.
This is a great module - I'm running 2.6.2 and can't seem to add any numbers to either the general limit or the group size. Here's a screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/roHjYY9wVU8F
Any tips on what I'm doing wrong?
Hi Peter,
Thanks for the feedback smile. I'm glad to hear everything is fine.
Hi again, updated and now it works fine!
Thanks, this is a great activity!
