I love the Module but I'm having one problem... the date information disappear... I already update the module, but I have only a "-" on the date. I've created a new "attendance" but it does not fix the problem... any ideas?
Best regards.

Hi James, that's not something currently supported.
James Yeo
I wonder if there's an option in the export tab to default tick 'Department'?
This would be really useful!

@Edmund that isn't something that is currently supported but we'd like to improve that at some point - for more info see: https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-mod_attendance/issues/63

When I start recording attendance, I see only the First Name and Last Name of my students. Is there a way to add the ID Number beside the name to counter check if I am indeed pointing to the right student. In Middle East, it seems that names are almost synanymous. This is the page I am referring to /mod/attendance/take.php?id=15091&sessionid=157&grouptype=0

For a future update .... could you create a button for the student to download a pdf with their assistance?

@Michele - this is not the place for those sorts of development questions - I see you have created a new post in the community forums which is more appropriate: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=347457
It's possible you may not get a response there either, it might be helpful for you to learn a bit more about Moodle development (The course from HRDNZ is quite good: http://www.moodlebites.com/mod/page/view.php?id=19542) or you could contract a Moodle Partner to help you make the changes you are looking for.

Hi,
how can I create a new tab in manage.php page to insert a new settings form? Specifically, I don't know how to save the settings' values of the new form in a new table in database.
Thanks.

Hi,
Is it normal for the student to be able to register presence before the defined date?
thks

@Ed, I've just been sent a patch from one of the devs here at Catalyst (Thanks Brendan!) that tidied up the date formatting a bit - I've changed the patch a bit but have pushed a fix into the master branch in github ready for the next release.

@Mohammad, We do have an open issue in the attendance tracker to add the user identity field handling to the reports but this hasn't been completed yet.
https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-mod_attendance/issues/63 - you could try asking in the forums to see if anyone has any other ideas to help you with this.
Mohammad Joardder
how can I take attendance in reference of ID instead of students name

Do you have the en_US lang pack on your site? - if you install the US version of the lang pack in your Moodle installation and then set all US-based users to use that language it should take care of this for you.

I have a feature request for this plugin. This is great and I love it, but sometimes the faculty I support have a hard time with international date standard [Day/Month/Year] because they are used to the American Standard [Month/Day/Year].
Would there be any possibility that an administrative option could be added so I could toggle this site wide? It's a small thing but something that does seem to come up very often.
