Attendance

Hi Fred, that sounds like an issue with the roles being used within each enrolment method - I suspect the role assigned to users when using the manual enrolment is different from the role used when self-enrolling. You should make sure the roles have the capability "attendance:canbelisted" set. (typically you wouldn't assign the "guest" role to students within a course.) For more information on roles/capability configuration please ask for help in the community forums.

Hi Dan,
I'm really impressed by the addin but i've stumbled across something. I don't know if anyone else has encountered/reported this. I'm working on a sandbox/test site at the minute to launch a training website for staff in schools MIS systems delivered by the LA I work for. I'm using the attendance addin as an activity added to a topics format course which I'm using to provide information for upcoming offline/classroom courses. The face to face module is being used to capture the students' signups to the courses, but I'm using the attendance plugin to record the actual attendance at the time the course takes place. What I've discovered, in the course of testing with a batch of dummy logins, is that if I've manually enrolled a user account to the course which contains the attendance activity, they don't automatically appear in the user list when I take attendance for a session. I un-enrolled them, then logged in as one of the dummy user accounts and self-enrolled instead. When I went back and logged in as an admin the self-enrolled student was then showing on the attendance register. As I'm intending to open the course [showing the offline courses] to guest logins as well as either manually enrolling or enrolling automatically by group, I'm concerned that students enrolled on the course by this method will not show up in the user list. I haven't tested the auto-enrolment by group yet but thought I'd let you know that only self-enrolled users are visible in the attendance list.
Thanks,
Fred

that doesn't sound like an issue with the attendance plugin but a more generic issue with installing plugins on your site - I suggest you ask for help in the community forums - probably good to check you have the php zip extension installed too.

Hello, I tried to install the plugin on moodle 3.2 and I get this error "core_plugin/corrupted_archive_structure".
Can you help me please?

Hi Dan, I have installed the plugin on moodle 3.1. But when I try to launch the activity attendance I have this error message on server:

Can you help me?

yes - that's one of the things resolved in the latest version in the github repository, however we no longer show the summary in the same way. A few people have expressed an interest in having a similar report added back but it hasn't been completed yet.

Hi Dan,
Seems like there is an error in the quantity of presents shown in the Summary.
The report (image 5) shows in the second session "Presents: 5" but presents people in this session were 3. In the third session says "Present: 8", and the presents in this sessios where also 3.
It seems like the report is showing some sort of cummulative quantity insted of presents per session. Same happens whith Late, Escused and Absent.
Thanks!

Hi Sam, if you view my profile here on moodle.org you should see various options for getting in touch

Hi Dan,Is it possible that students use the RFID reader(or bacode、NFC reader) to take attendance by themselves?because we have 500 ~3000 students in each class,If we allow teachers to take attendance only, that will be not efficient,I am glad to pay it,how can I get in touch with you?thanks a lot.

@Chris - not that I'm aware of. sounds like an interesting feature though!
@Juan - feel free to submit a pull request with the work or get in touch if you want to fund my time to work on this. (I work for the Moodle Partner Catalyst IT)

Hi Dan.
I could't see more information about that. The true is that I don't like to know the % of attendance or a qualify based in attendace. When you have an offline session, and you must justify this sessions at work, you need the information about just the days and hours with the mark of "attendance" or "not attendance" for justify at work. It's just the view that the student has when click in Attendance Plugin, but with the Export option.

Hi. Is it possible the completition criteria to be based on the total time of sessions? I want my student to complete the activity when he has like 30 hours total session.. thanks

Hi Juan, have you seen the user activity reports on the users profile page? They should include information about the attendance in their courses.

Hi Dan and all attendance plugin users
When the students uses this plugin , sometime, they must to prove that they was in a session (presencial session) because for example it was in laboral hour... in any case, they musy to prove that they was in the session.
The problem is that with the permissions you only can configurate form export or see reports for all the students. In the case of export, you can only export all the list of students and attendance, but may be a good idea if one to one (the students) can export their own report or list of assistence. Individual export.
Then, my suggestion for future version is that the student be able to export his/her own attendance and not like now that they only can export all the user list.
Thanks

Hi Dan, I will definitely touch base with you if we can't find a custom solution here. Thanks!
