Checklist

I am having an issue with a 404 error when I try to view a checklist. I have 2.2.5+ and the latest version of the checklist files. The mod will install properly and add a checklist to a course. When I go to view that checklist it gives me a "Error 404 - Not Found Sorry, the page that you are looking for does not exist." The page it is trying to view is /mod/checklist/view.php?id=30. I have tested to see if it was a permission issue as Mr. Dunn had and changing files from 0666 to 0644 and folders from 0777 to 0755 did nothing. I am getting no site errors when I pull the logs. I am not sure where to go from here.
It seems someone else also had this issue but is no apparent fix. https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=235670&mode=1
Any help or a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.

The plugin uses the course completion system to update checkmarks, if it is enabled. If it is not enabled, then it looks through the course logs for suitable entries (viewing a resource, submitting a quiz, etc.).
According to the output you sent me, in the time since cron last ran, there were 2 relevant log entries across the 3 courses that had checklists, but none of them required any update to the checkmarks (probably because the checkmarks were already ticked for those items). There were no relevant completion updates for those checklists.
This suggests to me that the system is running fine, but that nothing happened that needed to change the student's checkmarks.
I would tell you more, but unfortunately you do not seem to have enabled the detailed debugging (as described in step 3 of the README instructions), so I cannot tell any more about what is going on (if you had removed the '//' from the DEBUG_CHECKLIST_AUTOUPDATE line of code, then you would be seeing far more output).

Oh right, my bad.
This is the log of the cron job

As you can see this is the version of my moodle, the courses that have some stuff done and how it's not being updated in the checklist activity

The moodle information screenshot was taken before I ran the cron jobs.
Also would love to have an option to have automatic only checking but I already forgot why I needed this module <.<

Carlos - you've given me very little information to go on (not even a Moodle version number).
Assuming you've followed the step-by-step instructions, included in the README for this plugin, for sorting out any such problems, what was the output you got in step 3?

I have a problem, I can't seem to make it to automatically fill in. I use the current course content option. But I have tried making new accounts and it doesn't detect opening content or finishing quizzes. and I need it to be checked automatically

Eveline - you can control who updates the checklist (students, teachers or both) via the settings page for each checklist.
Instructions for how teachers can update a student's checklist can be found in the Moodle docs: http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Checklist_module#Usage

Does somebody know how i can make a checklist in moodle which i can fill in for my students? My students need to show me that they can execute a medical treatment in the right way. I want to fill in the checklist while they are doing it. I found the possibility to make a checklist, but it seems you can only fill it in for yourselfe. Hope somebody knows a way how to do it.

David, great! Glad to see it wasn't anything strange I'd done in my code

@Davo
Good news! A colleague re-did the permissions and the plugin is now working correctly.

Tom,
Yes, it would be possible to add the ability for students to comment on checklist items.
If funded, it probably wouldn't take much more than a day or so to write and test - if you''re asking me to do it in my spare time, then please open an issue in tracker and I will look at it when I next spend some time on the checklist plugin (but note I haven't done anything other than minor fixes for several months, so don't expect a quick turnaround).

Davo,
Thanks for the explanation, and for taking the time to reply. I'll see if our server guys can clarify the issue.

I want to use this to implement the European Language Portfolio with a Mahoodle integration. However, the ELP checklists need also a 'my priority' column for each competency. This would be possible if students could make comments on each item as well as teachers. I wonder if it would be possible to implement this.

The first error listed states that there is no special page specified to display when a 500 error occurs. That is a symptom of a 500 (server) error happening, not the cause.
The second states that mod/checklist/view.php is writeable by 'group'. That is not a problem for my plugin, but may be a problem for your server security settings. However, you have already stated that you have fixed the file permissions to remove group writing permission (i.e. set all files to 0644 permissions), so that should no longer be an issue. Both of those errors suggest server configuration / permissions problems, which falls outside the scope of any support I can really give (if you can find an error which is related to a line of code in my plugin then I will happily investigate further).

Hi Davo,
Does the server error log not reveal any clues for you? This error is recorded when I click to view a new checklist. On the moodle site itself, I get the error message reported by Dimo above.
Server error log:

Sorry David, without an error message or being able to reproduce the problem locally, I am really limited in what help I can offer.
