Hi, thanks for this great plugin. But, is it just me who's not able to use this plugin?
Are you able to set up groups for meta-linked courses? I couldn't get it to work at first, but when I turned on group settings for meta-linked courses, it worked. (Moodle3.9)
I'm testing this on Moodle 3.10, and haven't yet been able to get it working. I installed the plugin before setting up any metalinks or groups.
has anyone been able to get it to work on Moodle 3.9? The cli sync.php doesn't do anything here so it seems..
I am having the same issue as Dave, the cli tool does not seem to do anything at all. However, if I manually remove and then recreate the course meta-link, it appears to work.
Hi there,
Installed on a Moodle 3.9 and not working.
The metacourse has two child courses. If I bulk upload the users with the groups created via the CSV file this works on the Metacourse, and the enrolments go to the child courses, but the groups are not created.
I've tried running the cli/sync.php file as instructed and this doesn't seem to do anything; even in verbose mode.
demsley@sc1430:/home/public_html/moodle/local/metagroups/cli$ sudo php sync.php -v
demsley@sc1430:/home/public_html/moodle/local/metagroups/cli$
I would appreciate some advice on what I'm doing wrong,
Cheers
Dave
Hi there, Just installed version 2018120701 on Moodle 3.3 - yes I know but that's where the client is and doesn't want to rock the boat - It doesn't seem to work. Should it have added some scheduled tasks to the list? Or is it supposed to be clever than that and trigger automatically?
Best Regards
Dave
Hi, has anyone successfully tested this plugin on 3.4?
Hi Paul, any chance of a 3.3 release?
Hi i upgrade my moodle to 3.3 and it seems the syncronization doesn't work
Thank you, Sarah. The script has solved the problem.
Alexandre, if you follow the link 'more documentation on this plugin' it describes how you can run a script to sync existing groups, we've used this and it works fine. Hope this helps.
Hi Paul,
Unfortunately your plug-in creates and synchronizes only groups, created AFTER meta-link is set. Plugin does not see any groups that were created EARLIER. Is it possible to make a change, so that ALL groups from the course can be synchronized?
I've tested on latest 3.2 (dev) & all works as expected, so I've updated the list of supported versions to 2.6 -> 3.1 smile
Hi Paul, I know you kindly tested this plugin with early 3.0 back in July last year and it seemed to work ok. Is there an intention to officially release an update before Sept 2016 to work with 3x? Many thanks.
