Sticky Notes

Hi Jincai and others, I had to add this change to the plugin to get it to work on Moodle 5.1 so stop the code error from appearing:
In the following file :
public_html/mod/stickynotes/lib.php
Line no. 29 I changed this line :
require_once("{$CFG->dirroot}/lib/navigationlib.php");
to
//require_once("{$CFG->dirroot}/lib/navigationlib.php");
and saved the file

Hi Nellie, I'm rather fond of this plugin, but it won't install in the latest Moodle 5.1.

Hi Nellie, hope to do this as fast as possible ! I must first install a dev environment, this is my principal problem...
Best regards,
Olivier

Hi Oliver, will you be releasing a new version for Moodle 5.0? Thank you.

Hi Nellie, just released a new version for Moodle 4.5 !
Let's note !
Olivier

I have made a rapid check ; there are indeed some problems, but not so difficult to resolve. I'll make an update for Moodle 4.5 as quick as possible.
Stay tuned !
Olivier

Thank you, Oliver. My teachers miss using it.

Hi Nellie,
no fix yet... I must install a Moodle 4.5 version first ! I'll do it as quick as I can, I must first see what changed exactly.

Thank you, Oliver. It worked on Moodle 4.4, but it's not working on 4.5. Is there a fix? Thank you.

Hi Nellie,
as soon as possible !
I didn't test Sticky Notes on Moodle 4.4 for now, so I don't now yet the amount of work it will need. I will work on it for sure !
Olivier

I love the plugin. Will you be upgrading it to Moodle 4.4?

Hi Adam,
wow, that makes a lot for my brain ! :D
All these features are very interesting, but that would be a work for a whole new version I think... Sticky Notes wasn't thought in a way to integrate modes, But it would be a great idea ! I keep it in mind for the future.
Thank you very much for your message !
Olivier

Maybe in a big picture, as I see it, there could be one setting at start. Some kind of mode.
- Cooperative mode (free mode): It can work like you have it now. So anyone can move, anyone cad add, remove etc. But still, locking one by one would be great even in this mode. Voting could be enabled also for locked notes.
- Competitive mode (fun mode): Students and Teacher can see and use whole board (except notes, columns locked by teacher). The Students places notes (each student has its own color) for their own decisions, they can add new notes but not move notes of others. Students can create copy of notes of others (maybe by moving it, or copy button). Other students can vote for notes of others where these votes are taken as they would create their own note with same text. Teacher can grade it, or not (also with using smilies). Teacher can send some feedback to students with notes with same text.
- Personal mode: It can stay as it is with a possibility for teacher to create notes locked for student. No changes done by student would be visible to other students, only visible to teacher.
I hope I did not make your head heavy :D

Hi Oliver, sorry for late answer.
This is the case: Students come to course, they learn something and they have two columns to sort the predefined notes (by teacher) and add some of their own (these notes could be set by student to be public or not, public notes could enabled or disabled by teacher in settings). Teachers notes can not be edited by student but can be moved to any column accordingly students decision but only for him alone. All students can set their own notes. Teacher checks their decision. The result for teacher is a list of notes for each student.
I know it is not so easily done ;) Thank you again for your work.
- About "Students see all notes..." - i don't think it is a bug (If you work on cooperative task it is great as it is), but would be great if I as a teacher could create some notes, students could move it but only for themselfs not for all students.
- About "locking notes one by one" - I see it as a feature for both, teacher and student. Teacher creates notes, lock them for student. Student can see them and can create his own notes and lock them for others. Others can vote for his note and placement.
- About background - Sure ti needs more research on this. I managed it changing using CSS - thank you for naming the columns ;)
If you wish i can send you a picture how it looks css hacked .

Hi Adam,
thank you for your message and all your propositions !
- As Sticky Notes now works, I don't think that a template feature will be easy to add... but I'll think about this, this can be interesting ! To be sure : you suggest that teacher can create some notes that every student will found in his own board as templates, and that every student can use these notes without making them disappear from other students board ?
- About "Students see all notes...", is it a bug you're talking about ?
- About locking notes one by one : very interesting ! How do you see this ? Is it a feature reserved to teacher ? Or a "security" for students when they are working ?
- About backgrounds : I'm not very sure to implement this, for I think this could cause readability and accessibility issues...
Best regards,
Olivier
