Rate a course

when will you make version for 2.5? because I want to install it on moodle 2.5.

Does this work with Moodle 2.5? I installed but it is giving me an Internal Server Error when I click to rate the course.

Thanks for reminding me! I've made a tracker issue CONTRIB-4415 and will do this next time we release an update to the block.

Hi Jenny,
The AMOS translator (https://moodle.org/) has Hebrew and Mexican Spanish languages translated strings for this add-on, but there are no German language strings there (as mentioned in http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Course_rate_block#Languages ). The german language strings are in the 'lang/de' folder within the plugin downloadable ZIP files.
I took the german language strings from the 'de' folder from the downloaded file and submitted them to the german pack maintainer at AMOS.
That (old way) of placing language strings seems to be now obsolete. Please see http://lang.moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=2485
Thanks in advance

hi
i need to add voting or poll in my frontpage moodle 2.4 which occure like as in websit voting

Hi German, yes that's come up before. I must remember to change it next time I'm in there. The best workaround is for people to change the graphic in their theme.

Hi Jenny,
It is a nice block.
For non-english users it is almost as nice, but in spite of a full local translation (language customization), the block displays a "no ratings given" (graphic?) message in english when (obviously) no ratings have been given, and this particular sentence is not available for translation within the strings language pack.
Would you be so kind as to check this and make the necessary improvement ?
Thanks in advance,
German Valero (mex spanish language pack maintainer)

New version released today which you can add to the site home page with a warning message in edit mode.

Hello, I have the same question as Gawesh Jawaheer that is, could this rate it block be used with any activity on moodle? Thank you

Thanks Jenny. The reason I was trying to place the Block on the Front Page is that this is the only way in Moodle 2.x to replicate the Sticky Blocks feature from Moodle 1.9 I think. I wasn't intended to rate the site, but to force the Block to appear in every Course, so learners can rate the Course, and Teachers can't remove the Block. Is it a relatively easy change to alter the behaviour of the Block from Course only to Site? If so I can trying changing our local copy

Hi Stuart, Glad its working well now. Yes, the block is set to only work on "course" pages, which used to be good enough with "sticky blocks". If you put it on the site page, what would you be rating ... the site as a whole? Or maybe it should list the top-rated courses on the site? Feel free to log a tracker issue for me, and I'll give it some thought.

Hi Jenny. Thanks SO much for the latest update, which appears to be working well within Courses on Moodle 2.2. Wish I had the development skills to take this over, but I don't Are the OU using a different Block that will do roughly the same job? I was going to add this to the front page so I could make it what we used to call a 'sticky block', but the Block doesn't appear in the dropdown in the 'Add a block' on the front page Is this by design? I know that Blocks can be coded so they don't allow this, but I think this would be a great feature for the Course ratings Block - e.g. in the context of http://www.freemoodle.org

Hi Jenny - in Moodle 2.2+ (Build: 20111209) it is requiring that the questionaire module is present (otherwise block not only cannot be added but course can't be again opened). Installing questionnaire fixes it but thought I should let you know

Hi Julia - I had to remove it because the upload to this database was screwing up my code and I haven't had time to fix it. You can download a working copy from the source control URL in the mean time.

Do I overlook s.th., or is there no download option ?
