Engagement analytics

Hello to everyone! I am a PhD Student in the field of Online Learning Environments. My team and I want to use "Engagement analytics" to conduct a research according the contribution of gamification techniques on engaging students increasing their participation inside a forum. What I want to ask is the fact that when I click on students' name or on "View course report" link a new empty page opens without showing me anything. Could anyone provide me with some guidelines? Thank you very much in advance!

Is this still maintained?

We are using the Engagement Analytics plugin here and are getting an error when a user with the teacher role tries to edit the settings in the report at course level.
We are on Moodle version 3.1.2. We would like teachers to be able to update the weightings in the report for their courses. However, Teacher role is getting an error: Sorry, but you do not currently have permissions to do that (Manage engagement analytics report). I have double-checked the permissions: "Manage engagement analytics report" has "Allow" set at both site and course level.
Has anyone got any suggestions, or can you test on your install for me?
Many thanks - Caitlyn - TAFE NSW

Hi, does the plugin work on 3.1? I tried installing it but the dependencies aren't in the right syntax I believe... Let me know, thank you!

Hi Danny, I think the extra where clause did the trick. Thanks!

Hi Ewout,
Thanks for letting me know about this oversight. I've fixed it up in the master branch in my fork (added course into the where clauses). Before this fix, we were successfully running the query (and the plugin) in courses with over 1000 students and a log table that had millions of rows. The fix should hopefully speed things up - let me know how you go. If the query isn't returning for even a small number of students, there might be something else amiss?

Hello Danny,
I installed your fork on our test server (M2.9) and it installed just fine. But I can't open any report in any course, because the SQL query
SELECT CONCAT(c.userid, '_', c.objectid) AS user_objectid, COUNT(*) AS countnumber
FROM (SELECT id, userid, timecreated AS time, courseid AS course, CAST(objectid AS char(64)) AS objectid
FROM mdl_logstore_standard_log
WHERE target = 'discussion'
AND action = 'viewed' UNION SELECT id, userid, time, course, CAST(info AS char(64)) AS objectid
FROM mdl_log
WHERE module = 'forum'
AND action = 'view discussion') c
WHERE c.course = '6603'
AND c.time >= '1438570800'
AND c.time <= '1463848204'
GROUP BY user_objectid
never returns, not even for courses with a small number of students (80). Do I read did query correct and does the sub-select return all of the logs with views of forums in all of Moodle? If that's the case, this query will not work with large installations, right?

Thanks Mark; have fixed up these stray breaks.

Hi Danny, I've been playing with your fork, I can also confirm it does work in M3.0, except for a small issue I had because I'm using PHP7, which you may want to fix.
In /report/engagement/locallib.php you have some `break;` statements outside of loops; they're not allowed in PHP7. Lines 304 & 309.

This fork has been tested on 2.7, 2.9, and 3.0, and has some additional functionality:

Hi all,
Do you have any plans to release a new version supporting Moodle 2.8 and 2.9?
Thank you.

I commented the function call (seems to be defined in lib.php but not called, anyway it's only decorative) and now the page renders but there is no config option. Is this an unfinished feature?

Ok, now I've got a problem in the "Manage indicators" page:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function report_engagement_is_core_indicator() in /var/www/moodle/report/engagement/renderer.php on line 158
My plugin versions (obtained all of them from git today) are:
mod: 2015072700
block: 2014042900
report: 2015072700
Any hints?

Ok, I found that git version is up to date!

I think this link could be of help:
