Course dedication

@Geysson - please report feature requests to the issues tracker in github - keep in mind that my time to work on feature development as a volunteer is extremely limited. If you have internal development capabilities, pull requests are always welcome.

Hi @Dan! I think I found the reason for the problem I reported. From what I could understand, the user has to be in a group for the tool to work. As teachers are not in groups in some of our courses, these teachers did not appear when we ran the plugin. Problem solved.
I'd like to suggest as improvements:
1. the possibility of filtering a user without the need for them to be in a group;
2. inclusion of a filter where we could select users by role (students, teachers, tutors, etc.).

It would be cool to integrate this in the next upgrade maybe in keeping both formatting as rwo different choices for duration

And the solution was found by Christian Bocquet - Sunday, 16 February 2025, 7:11 PM
Dans le fichier blocks/dedication/classes/local/entities/dedication.php
en remplaçant la ligne 101 par :
$format = gmdate("H:i:s", $value);
ou alors en la remplaçant simplement par :
$format = $value;
pour obtenir le nombre de secondes
Penser à vider les caches.

@Josick - good thought! - some other folks have thought it might be worth doing too - see here: https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-block_dedication/issues/83

Hello,
I am using the new version of Dedication with custom reports.
The time spent on a course is provided in the standard format when downloaded as a CSV, such as 1 hour 16 min, 2 hours 10 min, or 6 min 50 s, etc.
Is it possible to change the format somewhere so that it is displayed as 00:00:00 (HH:MM:SS) to allow summing up the durations for a participant in the export table?
Direct conversion from the table is a nightmare to program, as it's impossible to account for the different formats provided.

Hi, @Dan Marsden!
Congratulations! It's a great plugin! But I'd like to know if we can to get the informations not only of the students and tutors, but of the teacher too, and how can I do this.

Hi again @Dan
Yes, we have installed the plugin because I can add the block and I can see my dedication time but I can't see the dedication time of my students. Why? The block shows "Complete report". When I click on it, I only see my connections, not my students' conecctions.
Is there anything incorrect set up?
Other option is I don´t know how to see the students' report.
Thanks you

@Ivan - the best place to ask for "help" is in the community forums - hopefully someone else will have some ideas to help - you may not even have this plugin installed in your sites?

Buenos días,
¿cómo puedo crear un informe como los hacía en la versión para moodle 3.11?
Uso moodle como profesor sin acceso al módulo de administración para poder crear informes personalizados. Sin embargo, podría pedirlo al administrador.
Por otro lado, tengo acceso a mi moodle personal donde si soy administrador. Quisiera ayuda para configurar los informes para que me dé información tal como lo hacía en la versión para moodle 3.11 ya que actualicé a 4.4 y he perdido esa función y no puedo ver qué tiempo dedicaba cada alumno al curso.
Espero que me puedan ayudar para crear el informe. Gracias

Good morning,
How can I create a report like I used to in Moodle 3.11?
I use Moodle as a teacher without access to the administration module to create custom reports. However, I could request it from the administrator.
On the other hand, I have access to my personal Moodle where I am the administrator. I would like help configuring reports to get information as I did in Moodle 3.11, since I upgraded to 4.4 and lost that feature. Now I can’t see how much time each student spends on the course.
I hope you can help me create the report.
Thank you.

@Syarf, best to ask help with using cron/scheduled tasks in the forums.

Hi, currently i'm using moodle 4.4. I already installed the plugin and cant find the button to run the task. please help

@Carlos, as per the readme, To unify global reporting across all courses, you can no longer set some specific settings within the block itself and can only set them in the site-level settings for all courses/blocks - this fixes various inconsistency issues previously reported and makes it clearer what the setting actually does.

Hi Dan, we have upgraded to version 4.1 and we found that it no longer appears to adjust the limit between clicks. Where do I make this adjustment?

Hy there! Does everyone know if it's possible to use these hours as restrictions for other activity? Example: activity open only if 30 minutes spent on course, another activity open if 90 minutes, etc... Thanks for any answer
