Course dedication

hello, any timeline to have ready the block for moodle 4?

@Steve thanks - will touch base separately.
@Joseph - yes all feedback is useful - grab the latest from github and report any issues you find there. We use the new Moodle report builder api which allows the admin to set up various custom reports, although I can't remember if Core has added support for reporting on cohorts yet.

Hi Dan: If you need someone to help test out changes, I'd be happy to help beta test and give feedback. The plugin is super useful, and still useful since it would primarily be used by teachers to see student time spent on a course, and the privacy issue could be easily handled by just hiding the block from students. Another great feature to have would be if the dedication block could handle course meta enrollments (e.g. have a cohort of students like "Year 1" that are enrolled in a core set of classes, and then use the dedication block and meta enrollment to see how much time is spent across the core classes.

Dan, for some reason Moodle.org says I can't message you directly, so I've grabbed your details from the contact page of the personal site listed in your bio and have dropped you an email that way.

Hi Dan, the group support feature would be a nice addition, but it isn't business-critical to us, so how about this. If you can publish a V4.1 compatible plugin into the plugins db without that feature, I'll PM you now so we can see whether I can also support the development of that as an additional feature for the next release. (I'll PM you about that now).

Hi Steve - we were funded by Canterbury University to do the initial tidy up work here and it is in a generally stable/working state for Moodle 4.0 and 4.1, it is just missing Group support which I'd hoped to fix before publishing into the plugins db. - No timeframe on that at this stage sorry, but hopefully in the next few months I'll come back to it. If you would like to fund feature development feel free to reach out privately.

Hi @Dan, thanks for taking over the support for this plugin. Can I ask how you're getting on with updating this for Moodle 4.x? We're really keen to upgrade our site but this plugin is highly useful for our teachers, so we're currently holding off doing so, but it would be helpful if we could understand your timeline.
(I'm aware you / Catalyst are essentially doing this work for free, and as I've mentioned on numerous threads, it would be great if Moodle would allow users to contribute or reward maintainers like you in some way - so if there's anything we can do to help please let me know).

Hello @Dan,
I downloaded the plugin from Github and installed it on my Moodle 4.1 website and now I can't access the course which have this block. I get an "Error reading from database".
I have included the complete Error log here:

@Dan Thanks and have a good day!

@P H - this plugin has a new maintainer. Please see the github repository for the latest version along with further details in the readme file in github, thanks!

Hello. Has this plugin been tested with Moodle 4.1? Thanks.

Is there a way to add usernames or custom profile fields to this block?

Hello! Does any one knows if the last version of this plugin works with Moodle 4?

What do you think about a "keep alive" feature?
I mean a JS that silently calls an Ajax functions and updates the backend with a dummy action.
Then, after a configurable amount of time, it asks the student "Are you still studying", like Youtube does when there are no interactions for some time.

Thank you for this plugin! For the Spanish FUNDAE courses this comes in very handy. I appreciate it and I hope you keep mainaining it, especially for Moodle 4.0
