Board — collaborative post-it board activity for Moodle

Hello. Just discovered this plugin and it seems interesting. Can the headings of each column be edited? I am trying it out in our site but I don't see any option to change the heading. Thanks.

Hi Kenneth. Thanks for the report. I have confirmed what you are seeing. Our developers will get a fix out shortly.

Hi,
A great plugin, however, when changed to length of text to 800, I get a "Formsubmissioninvalid" popout when trying to post. Is it only possible to have 250 characters?

Hello, we have solved the problem by investigating the error and modifying some parameter in the plugin.
It did not save the content field in the database and we have seen that the board_add_note function of classes / board truncated the content field to the maximum size but took as size 0 and not 250, which is its configuration value. Assigning a value to the post_max_length field already saves it perfectly.
I report it to you in case someone has the same problem with version 3.10.4.
Now it works perfectly and we are very happy with the plugin. thanks and greetings

Double check you have the latest plugin code, and also try it working with the theme disabled (if its a custom theme) - however could be something else interfering.

Thank you very much for the answer, I will check for any errors or we will wait for the update to a higher moodle. I think it's a fantastic plugin and we want to continue using it. Greetings

HI Vicente,
I just did a fresh install of Moodle 3.10.x (8) and the current mod_board in the plugin db above and added a post with a title, some content, an image and description. All correctly saved.
So not sure what is up with your install - 3.10.4 or 3.10.8 should not make any difference.
Perhaps there is a conflict with something else?

Hi I love this plugin but I have a problem with it. We use version 3.10.4 of moodle and when creating a post on a board it does not save the text, the title, an image, a video are recorded and perfectly seen but not the body of the text that we enter, it does not matter to do it as a pre-teacher than as a student. Any suggestion?
Thanks

Hi Theo,
Just like if you were doing a classroom activity with Postit notes - and people don't sign them usually, this was designed to give a student to student anonymous usage by default. No core activity of Moodle has this anonymous contribution aspect.
Tteachers can see via the reports to help see who did what and help monitor in case of bad behaviour - however the lack of student names was intentional.
Gavin.

It would be lovely to have an option to show the names of the students who posted

Hi Florian,
As this is student data -the posts only go when students move with it and user has the right to do backups with data.
Using my admin account which can do backups with student data i just did a course backup with the enrolled students and the board posts came with it when restored into a new course.
Import - just pulls settings.
Hope that clarifies it!
Gavin

Hello, thank you very much for this great plugin!
However, there seems to be an issue when importing board activities into another course: The column headers will be imported, all the contents of the columns unfortunately seem to get deleted.
Thanks a lot!

Thank you Mike

Hi Julia. Thanks for the report, and the workaround. I have confirmed what you are seeing. Our developers will look into this.

Hi Gavin. This is a great plugin and I'd love to promote it to the teachers and tutors where I work. Just letting you know that I get an error when using groups, both Visible and Separate, in that 'A course grouping must be selected for this group mode' error appears in red on the settings screen below the Groupings box. I can get round this by choosing No groups and then clicking the groups icon on the course page beside the edit menu to change to the mode that I want. I have plugin 1.39.06 (Build 2021101501) on my Test Moodle, Moodle 3.11.3+ (Build: 20210924). Thanks for your great work at Brickfield!
