FilterCodes

I absolutely LOVE this plugin the "coursecards" option is really wonderfull!
BUT:
in addition to "all courses" (with {coursecards}) or "all courses from an cat. ID"( with {coursecards 2})
will there also be a way to add just a SINGLE course by it's ID?
then I can create a list of random courses from different categories bij adding them (manually).. IE:
{coursecardid 2} - {coursecardid 12} - {coursecardid 5} - {coursecardid 24}
is that something that would be possible (in the near future?)

Hi Michael,
This is a really wonderful and helpful plugin. I am looking for someway to show the activity/resource name, but could not find it in the list above or on github. Is there anyway to use it or add it?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Michael Milett Thank you very much for developing this plugin.
I have a question.
en {label backgroundtype}{/label} : Display text over a color background. how can i put the color
since {coursecontacts} is not possible to change the color
Thank you: Gerardo Diaz

Cordial saludo, con este plugin hay manera de poder mostrar en una etiqueta solo la foto de perfil del docente actual del curso? y que al cambiar de docente se actualice automaticamente?

Michael, thanks for maintaining this plug in. Super useful.
A suggestion, break out the capabilities of the {coursecontacts} filter into a couple of additionally parts such as {coursecontacts_names} {coursecontacts_images} and {coursecontacts_profiles}. That way we could enable (in settings) the generic diplay of all of the contact info and yet be selective within indvidual courses about what we want to display or not. Thanks.

Hi Annie, I am not sure why some tags are not working on your Moodle 4.1 site. There could be a number of reasons. The {info} tag definitely works in Moodle 4.1 with the Boost theme.
I recommend that you:
1) Take a look at the Troubleshooting section of the documentation found in the README.md file included with your plugin. The latest version of this can be found by going to:
https://github.com/michael-milette/moodle-filter_filtercodes/blob/master/README.md#troubleshooting
2) If that does not help, use the discussion link on the FilterCodes plugin page and ask you question there. This will take you to https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=359252
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Michael

Hi, some filter code tags do not work on my moodle 4.1 site, some work. For example: when I want to use the following filter code {info}content{/info}, nothing is displayed. If I use {coursecontacts} for example everything is fine. Filter codes are turned on and I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin. The problem remains the same. Can you help? Thank you

Done, I did it, some crap code was introduced but I was able to remove it in the html of the text

@Francela, Forums by default will strip out certain content - e.g. if you try and embed YouTube videos these often get stripped out - unless you have a higher permission as per https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/Capabilities/moodle/site:trustcontent I wonder if the same is stopping the filter code tags from working.

@Dave,
Thanks.
1) Sorry, I wrote it wrong here, but in the forum it is correct: {profile_field_fechacumple}
2) The field is visible
3) the filter works in other places, but not inside the forum

@Francela - a few things to check -
1) in the message above you have spelt 'field' incorrectly, if that is what you have done in the forum, then that would definitely stop it working.
2) Check that the profile field is not set as 'not visible'
3) does the filter code work in another item eg a page, if it does. then it muset be a forum specific setting (not sure what)

Moodle 3.10
I'm trying to use filter codes with a custom profile field in a forum, but it doesn't work, it shows as {profile_fild_fechacumple} instead of the date.
Could you help me please?

Thank you for sharing that link Dave.
I love your Moodle Tricks of the Trade series (not just when they are FilterCodes related) and highly recommend that moodlers check it out and follow this helpful and useful series of tips and tricks.

I have just written a blog post on how the filtercodes plugin can be used to add an automatically generated QR code into a block that appears in all course pages: https://davefoord.wordpress.com/2023/01/11/moodle-tricks-of-the-trade-adding-a-qr-code-block-to-a-course/

Hi Derek, when you install any filter type Moodle plugin, you need to enable it. See the installation instructions in the README.md file. The FAQ in that file may also be helpful.
