Checklist

All automated tests passing in Moodle 3.2, with minor tweaks to a couple of behat tests.

Just found the information about textfield (labels) https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-5674

I'm not quite sure what you mean by a 'textfield' is this a 'label' resource? If so, these are specifically excluded from the checklist, as they are expected to be just bits of information on a course, rather than an activity you can interact with an complete.

I added a textfield in the moodle-course and configured "activity completion", so that the textfield has to be selfmarked when the user has finished this text-field.
This text-field is not integraded in the checklist. Is this a bug or do I have to configure something?

Joseph. The checklist uses the standard 'get_users_by_capability' function to find all users with the given capability at the module level. If you are getting all users on the site then either all users are enrolled on the course, all users have a student role at the site level, or you have changed the 'authenticated user' role to give everyone the ability to update every checklist on the site.

Hello All, I am finally getting around to testing the checklist module and excited to implement for our users. has anyone experienced the issue of all site users being displayed in a checklist module within a course? I checked student and authentic user permissions. current moodle version 2.4 -checklist version 2014011500. Any guidance is greatly appreciated

No problems Davo, ill look into it
Cheers

Simon, I don't know anything about developing for the mobile app and probably don't have spare time to investigate. If someone wants to do the coding and send it to me, or pay for the development, then I'd be happy to add it.

Hi Davo
Is there a plan to bring this over to the mobile app?

Ryan - I think the closest you can get to this, without code changes, would be to use 2 checklists and activity completion. The first would work as it does now, but with the score set to 0. The second would import the activities from the course, but exclude everything except for the first checklist (the second checklist could be put in an orphaned course section to hide it from students). The second would have its score set to 1.
Once the first checklist was complete the one and only item in the second checklist (i.e. the first checklist itself) would be marked as complete. So, the score for the second checklist would be either 0 or 1.
Maybe a bit fiddly to implement, but possibly less confusing than adding another setting to the checklist module to cover this use case ...

Greetings,
We're hoping to find a way to value the checklist in the gradebook as either a 0 value or a 1. The maximum value of the activity is 1 point, but Moodle seems to round up in the gradebook. For example, if there are 6 checklist items in the activity, and the student completes 4 of them, he gradebook will display a .67% for the grade item. We'd like it to be all or nothing. The student would have to check all 6 items to earn the point. Anything less than 6 is a 0.
Thanks or any help you can provide.

Matt - not that I'm aware of. I don't think the gradebook has any functionality built in to it to exclude items related to activities that certain users cannot access (due to groups or other access restrictions).
Maybe you could take a look on http://tracker.moodle.org and see if there exists a feature request for that?
An alternative might be to simply not include any checklist in the gradebook (do this by setting the grade to 0 in the checklist settings).

Thank you so much for this great plugin!
My question is when you create multiple checklists for different groups in a course, they all show in the gradebook as expected grades for all students.
For example, if have Group A, Group B, and Group C in my course, I would create 3 checklists that correspond to those groups. I would then restrict access based on groups so that each group can only see the correct checklist.
The problem is that in the gradebook, it shows all checklists for all students and would give a 0 to that student if they haven't completed the checklist. Is there a way to filter out the gradebook to only show checklists that were assigned to that group?

There is no particular roadmap of new features for the checklist plugin. I rarely add new features, as it already does most things that people want.
I'm not clear exaclty what support you are wanting for the book module. Is it just updating the checklist when a book activity is 'complete'? If so, the easiest way to do this is to use the standard Moodle activity completion and my plugin will pick this up automatically. If you can't use this, then someone would need to find the name of the event (if any) that fires when a book is finished, then edit mod/checklist/classes/local/autocomplete.php to add the name of this event.

Hi Davo
We're using checklist 2.x (Build: 2014080601) with our main University Moodle v2.7.7 and we would very much like to have support for the Book module, so that student progress can be monitored against course content in books.
We are currently in the early stages of our upgrade to 3.0.x - is this something that is in the Moodle v3 version of checklist, or if not, is it on the roadmap?
Best regards
