Darren - there's no user interface for it, but it you add '&perpage=100' (or any other number you like) to the end of the webpage address, then it will show that many users on each page of the report. Saving the form with more users on it *should* work (but I've not tested it to make sure - I don't have a sample course with that many users on it to check against right now).
Maybe someday I could add something to the form to set the number of users per page, but I'm not going to promise to do so in the near future.
Hi there,
First up, Loving the plugin. I use it for my sports club to allow me (as a coach) to set up different skills (each one being a checklist) and I then go in and tick their checklist once I have seen them demonstrate the skill.
As there are about 50 girls to mark off, and i have used 3 seperate check list instances - one for each skill level, it would be great if I could display all of their names when I click the "edit checks". Is there a way I can extend the view to show more names.
Any other people using this in this way that could share ideas. Happy to write a breakdown of how I am using it, as it really does work well.
Thanks so much to one and all.
Darren
Checklists do not (currently) allow multiple users to update the same checklist as a group. It may be something I add in the future, but I am rarely able to add such features in my spare time.
Hello,
I would like to ask if check lists can be used collaboratively with students working on a group project? I would like the students to break down the project into tasks that they can all see on their shared checklist, agree on tasks and prioritise work. Is this possible?
Thomas, if an activity is hidden, it shouldn't be shown in the list of checklist items. If you want to remove an item that should not be there, then you can do that by editing the checklist and hiding that item (this doesn't affect the visibility of the activity itself, just whether or not it is displayed in the checklist).
There isn't a feature that allows you to include an activity, without a link. You could, however, just create a manual item in the list and use that instead of an activity (as that wouldn't have a link - although it also wouldn't automatically check-off when the activity is completed).
Hi David, thank you for this great plugin!!! Is there an easy way by setting or coding to disable the possibility to follow links in the Automatic generated Checklist? I want my students only want to show the list of activities without links, cause some of them are hidden. But in the Automatic generated Checklist the links are always there?!? Thanks again for help
Hi Robert,
I'm afraid there is no existing setting to control the default view on the report page. If you really want progress bars to be the default, then look in checklist/locallib.php for function get_report_settings() and change $settings->showprogressbars = false to $settings->showprogressbars = true - but you'll need to make that change after any upgrades.
Alternatively, if you have a developer who can make a small patch to create a global setting for that option, then I'd be happy to integrate it into my code.
David, is it possible to set default view for a teacher to see, by default, "View Progress / Progress Bars" view when clicking on the checklist activity?
And THANKS... This plugin is excellent!
Just an update - After the server was rolled back to the snapshot taken just before updating Checklist, the warning still appears in the same circumstance. So, this could have become and issue after one of the May updates and I just hadn't noticed. It seems to be the same warning referenced in this tracker item - https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-3904, except that in that situation, the warning occurred when resetting a course. I do not get the warning when resetting a course with a Checklist.
Any advice is appreciated!
David, I'll look at this as soon as I can - but I've been busy running a local festival all weekend, so I've not had a chance yet.
Davo,
(Sorry for double-posting - I also reported this in one of your recent forum threads: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=340444#p1427052)
I just now updated our Checklist module - from 2016052000 to 2017060500. Moodle 3.1.5+ (Build: 20170407)
With debugging on
Add a new Checklist
Save and return to course
The first visit to the new checklist - by me or a student account - gives the following:
Warning: mysqli::real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /usr/share/moodle/lib/dml/mysqli_native_moodle_database.php on line 1042
After reloading the page or leaving and returning, the warning is gone. Everything seems to be working correctly otherwise. I'm asking our server admin to role the site back to the snapshot taken just before the update.
I don't know that this warning is connected to the Checklist update or not. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks for a great and well-used plugin!
David
Sue - you are absolutely right, this was not working properly (the page was displaying the correct user data, but the form embedded in the page was retaining the previous user id). I've now fixed this and uploaded a new version here.
We are having an issue with our checklists when marking in the individual student view and using save and show next. The first student comes up, change marks and use save and show next and all is fine. The second student comes up, change grades and use save and show next. The grades for this student are not saved and the student does not move onto the third student.
If it is of any help, when the first student is loaded there is information regarding session key etc in the URL (ie: https://our domain/mod/checklist/report.php?id=43073&sesskey=aff1j4a9Ax&studentid=1647). When it moves onto the second student the URL is only https://our domain/mod/checklist/report.php
Can you help identify what is going on please? We are running the latest 3.2.3 version of Moodle and the latest plugin version. 2.7+ (Build: 2017051202)
If completion is enabled, then the checklist will be automatically marked as complete when the relevant activity is complete - so set the completion criteria on the quiz to complete when a grade is given and that should mark the checklist item as complete at that point.
Is it possible - to have automatically checked in checklist - when student finish quiz/exam?
