Help

This plugin allows to manage a moodle based decentralized helpdesk with three support levels. It basically works with Moodle forums. The 1st level support works on course level, so you can create as many support courses as you like (in our case we have a bunch of schools in our Moodle, each school has its own support course). All 2nd and 3rd level support members get access to certain discussions in those forums, after the 1st level support forwarded an issue.

Hello, please use the GitHub Ticketing-System for questions and error messages.
Hello, thanks for the module, great thing. I have a little question about configurations. Global forum, set operators. The student completing the modal form is added to the course (separated group), his application can be seen on the forum. However, you cannot see this report in the admin tab - Notifications (Issues). The tickets added by the admin and help work correctly / are displayed in the lists. I checked it on MOODLE 3.9.10 and 3.9.11 instances, the same result each time. Where could I go wrong in the configuration?
Thank YOU!
Hello, please use the GitHub Ticketing-System for questions and error messages. Regarding the adaptable-theme you can place a button yourself anywhere on the page. here is an example: <a href="#" onlick="require(['local_edusupport/main'], function(MAIN){ MAIN.showBox(); }); return false;" class="btn btn-primary" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><i class="fa fa-medkit"></i>Help</a>
Hi.
This is a great solution. The thing is that with the Adaptable theme the user cannot see the help icon. What link i can add to show the user the help form? Does the user get enrolled automatically?

Hello, as the first level support is within the course, you can use Moodle standard features to lock discussions. Kind regards
Hey Robert, thank you for the response. I got the idea, because the trainers of the course have no way to close tickets, or am I wrong?
Hello, there is no possibility to automatically forward tickets to the second level. I am not sure if that even makes sense, as it would then be the first level, wouldn't it? the people responsible on the first level are all participants of that course that have the capability "moodle/course:update" (normally: the trainers). Kind regards
after a long search we found this great plugin for our school, however we have some questions:
1) Is there a way to automatically forward the tickets to the second level?
2) How can we change the people who are responsible for the tickets? (only the display after sending a ticket).
Thank YOU!
Hello, please use the bugtracker for reporting issues (https://github.com/center-for-learning-management/moodle-local_edusupport/issues) and specify the problem in more detail. Kind regards
not working in new learning theme
Thank your for that input. We will include this modification in our next release.
Hi Robert,
Your plugin implements the \core_privacy\local\metadata\null_provider interface but you are storing user identifiable data in your plugin. There are two tables which contain user id fields: local_edusupport_supporters, local_edusupport_subscr so the plugin should export or delete this data when the user requests it.
Best Regards,
Robert
