Attendance

@Toke - just because a plugin listed in the plugins db doesn't have it "tagged" as supporting a version, doesn't mean that it doesn't actually support that version. The latest version of all my plugins (and my employers plugins) will be in github - please feel free to grab the latest versions from github and report any issues you find. As far as I'm aware the Attendance module "works" in 4.3, however there may be some deprecated warnings displayed if you turn developer debugging mode and display errors = on (which you shouldn't do in a production site anyway.)

Thanks for a great module. Any plans to make it works with moodle 4.3?

@Dan, this solved my issue.
Thank you very much for your help!

@Darden sounds like https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-mod_attendance/issues/683 which has been fixed in the github repo but the version number hasn't been bumped since. Can you try downloading the latest version from github and replacing your version to see if that fixes it for you,

Hi, thank you very much for the good work.
I stumbeled uppon an issue in the latest version, every time I create a session, the session doesn't get the specified date but always a date before that.
For example, if i set the date to be 01 Nov 2023 the session date when I click add will be set to 31.Oct 2023 or if I set the date 10 Oct 2023 the session date will be set to 09 Oct 2023.
This doesn't happend if I edit the session and set again the date.
To reproduce, create an attendance activity, open the activity, add session, set the desired date
Expected result > A new session with the desired date will be added
Result > A new session with the desired date -1 day is being added
I'm using moodle Version 4.2.2+ (Build: 20231004) with Attendance plugin v "2023041800", Ubuntu dedicated server with Apache webserver and PHP 8.2.
The date command on the server shows back the right date&time and also when I go to Site administration > Reports > Live Logs > The time and date seems to be fine on moodle.
I had the same issue on moodle v 4.1 PHP 7.4
Can you please take a look at this

@Akshay - I'm not completely sure what you are asking for there - try creating a feature request in the github issues tracker - but provide some more information and example mockups of what you are looking for - keep in mind that feature development is not something I have a lot of time to work on for free, so pull requests and or funding for feature development are always welcome.

Hi, Is it possible to have a serial number for the number of sessions added in attendance? This would help in keeping a track of which class the students are in.

@Ezzeddin, the plugin does include webservices to allow this sort of integration, however it's not currently something I am looking at doing myself. If you have internal development capabilities, pull requests are always welcome or alternatively if you would like to fund improvements to the plugin feel free to reach out privately and we can discuss.

Wonderful addition with lots of features. Any thoughts of being linked to biometric systems to automate attendance? Something like fingerprint readers, or even face detection systems.

@Karan - please make sure you have the latest version of the attendance plugin installed, and report any issues you have to the github issues tracker rather than as comments here. - thanks!

There is an issue with upload attendance with the php8.0 version but working fine with lower version of PHP version.Issue is in the save_log function here is the solution -
$log->statusset = implode(',', array_keys($log->statusset));
add this line of code before insert and update record function

@ Dan - thanks for your feedback. It is theme issue.

@Jean-Paul - Yes, the attendance plugin support's Moodle 4 reportbuilder - you can create cusotm site-level reports with this data.
@Filippo - no that is not currently supported.
@Lawrence - this sounds like a possible theme issue, best thing would be to generate some screenshots and create a forum post in the forums describing your issues.

I used this with Moodle 3.8 without any issue but the size of plugin icon (3 people) becomes extremely large in gradebook after we upgrade to Moodle4.1. Is there any setting to change the icon size?

HI, thank you for this great plugin!
Just a question: is it possible to use other "variables" (%coursename%, %username%, etc.) in notification emails?
For example is there a variable containing tha amount of hours a students has followed?
Thank you.
Filippo
