Hola Tatiana...
Los errores, si te llega a pasar de nuevo, por favor reportarlos en https://github.com/bambuco/moodle-block_vitrina/issues, allí se les puede dar mejor trámite.
Sobre lo que comentas ¿qué versión de Vitrina estás usando? Porque la línea que sale en el error corresponde a otra instrucción y el error que comentas fue solucionado precisamente con ese cambio, no debería de pasar si tienes el componente actualizado. Revisa por favor y si tienes el componente actualizado o se te sigue presentando el error, repórtalo por favor en Github y allí seguimos revisando.
Saludos
Buenas tardes David, instalé el plugin en una versión de Moodle 4.5.5, y al desmatricular un usuario de un curso sale el siguiente error relacionado con el plugin: Excepción - block_vitrina\local\observer::user_change_enrolment(): Argument #1 ($changedenrolment) must be of type object, false given, called in [dirroot]/blocks/vitrina/classes/local/observer.php on line 64. Muchas gracias por su colaboración.
Hi B.M.
You don't need to be logged in to view the catalog, but due to how Moodle works, you must set automatic guest access to view almost any page. This doesn't grant access beyond the catalog, but it is a minimum Moodle requirement.
You can view it at this site: https://comunidadmoodle.com/blocks/vitrina/
You don't need to log in to view the catalog.
On the other hand, what is the "showcase/splash screen"? The catalog doesn't have a "previous" page.
PD: Please submit requests for new features or complex reports at https://github.com/bambuco/moodle-block_vitrina/issues
Saludos
Thank you for sharing your plugin. A question for you: Would it be possible to include a setting so that users skip the showcase/splash screen og go directly to the catalogue? I think that would be a great option to have smile
How can you make the catalogue visible for non-logged in users? I'm talking about users that don't even have the guest role (non-authenticated users). It seems to show the showcase/splash screen - but when you click the "View all" button it prompts you to log in. Shouldn't the catalogue be visible for non-authenticated users as well?
Ok, thank you David for your reactivity.
Have a nice day
Hi Stephen...
Oh no... it's a mistake in the template documentation. It only includes the basic course information, and the course only includes the category ID, not the name.
You can request it on the issues page (https://github.com/bambuco/moodle-block_vitrina/issues), and I might add it later.
Saludos
Hi David, useful plugin. However, I have a question for you :
I've created my own template for Vitrina and I would like to display category's name for each course.
But when I use {{{category}}} in my course.mustache, like it showed in the example context, it give me only the id and not the name.
Is there another variable which contains hte category's name?
Thanks in advance
Hi Annie...
I'm glad you find it useful; it really took us a long time to get here.
You can create your suggestions at: https://github.com/bambuco/moodle-block_vitrina/issues
I can't guarantee I'll be able to implement them soon, but I'll keep them in mind when I have more time. And there's always the possibility that someone would like to contribute code for new features or sponsor one of them.
Saludos
Hi, I´m using https://moodle.org/plugins/customfield_multiselect. This is currently not supported. If there´s a chance to implement multiselect as custom course fields? Thanks Annie
Hello there! I must say, this plugin is truly impressive. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. First, I'm curious about the filter tree view - is it collapsible? You see, I work with numerous custom course fields, and having them all visible at once can be a bit overwhelming. The ability to collapse and expand the view would be incredibly helpful.
Additionally, I was wondering about the filtering options. Is there currently a way to filter by tags? And what about implementing "AND" filters? For instance, it would be fantastic to combine a category or custom course field with specific tags. If these features aren't available yet, would it be possible to consider them for future updates? I'm really excited about the potential of this plugin and appreciate any insights you can provide. Thank you so much for your time! Annie
Hola Renata...
The block is intended for the Web, especially because of its purpose. The Moodle App has a different approach. Anyway, I will try to review to what extent it could be made compatible. If you wish, you can make the report with the request at: https://github.com/bambuco/moodle-block_vitrina/issues

Hello, thank you for this wonderful plugin. In my case, it works perfect on a computer, but I've just entered moodle app on iphone and unfortunately the showcase does not display at all. Is that ok? Is there a way to fix it? I've tried to add a menu item on the app, but it redirects me to a blak page.
Hi @Dave Foord...
Currently specific tags are used: og:title, og:url, og:description and og:image.
The information for each one is customized with the course information that is in context.
Saludos
This plugin looks really interesting, and I will get it installed to test it out. Can I check - you mention that it includes SEO Open Graph meta tags - does this mean I can have different meta tags for different courses? If yes - that would be awesome, as up to know a limitation with Moodle has been that the SEO meta tags have been for the site as a whole, not differentiated on a course by course basis.
Thank you , it works perfect now
