Open Forum

Ed Beck, do you have $CFG->mod_hsuforum_grading_interface = true; in your config.php? I think that should enable using those features with Moodlerooms Grader.

If we have downloaded and installed the Moodlerooms Grader from the open Git Repository, is there a version somewhere of this plugin that still has the ability to upload feedback files and use Advanced Grading methods like rubrics, grading guides, and checklists?
I understand that those features were removed from the open source version because without the Grader plugin it would break things, but since the grader plugin is available, how can site administrators add back in those functions.

Is there a way to include an Advanced Forum in more than one course? For instance by including a virtual link to the forum in a second course? Obviously it's up to me to make sure that the users have the right permissions etc. - but can that be done?

Can someone help me with this error. Im using Moodle 3.1 and Advance Forum ( 3.1.3 2016121300)

Hi,
the module is not currently supported in the mobile app. When the work was originally done to add support it hit some limitations with the mobile apps ability to interact with 3rd party modules which prevented it from working. It is intended to support the app at some point, but I'm not sure when that is currently scheduled to be delivered.

HI,
After installing the Advanced forum, I proceeded to try it out on the Moodle Mobile App where I was shown a message "UH OH, this plugin is not supported, view in browser"
Is this plugin supported by the Mobile App?
If it is supported, can anyone shed some light as to why I get this message?

@Anu Laitakari Hi Anu, my search and all functions appear to work fine.
However, I have just discovered a rather bizarre problem with the upgrade. Though everything appears to function properly, several posts from students have been truncated. Their posts are present in the upgrade, but for some strange reason they are much shorter than in my backup. I have only discovered this after being on the new system for two weeks, so I will need to copy the old posts to the new system or write some kind of script to do it! :S

With Moodle 3.2, all 'Single Simple Discussion Forums' will no longer show 'author image or name' of the first post. It would be a blessing if this plugin could be updated to replicate this same feature.

I can answer my own question. We installed Advanced forum in Moodle 3.3 and it seems to work fine at a first look. No installation errors and a limited functionality test revealed no problems.

Hello, does anyone have experience with this forum in Moodle 3.3?

HI Mathieu,
Did the search work in your test? There is a tracker item for this from January: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=345465&mode=1

Hi All,
I have tested this with 3.2 and it does indeed work. I have not done extensive testing, but so far it appears to work exactly as it did in 3.1.

Still nobody tried this plugin with Moodle 3.2?

Anyone having tried this plugin with Moodle 3.2 ?

Solr does not index Advanced Forum.
You can fix this?
