Attendance

@Qambar - it sounds like you are trying to install an old version of the attendance code into a newer site. Please make sure you are using the right version of the attendance codebase for the Moodle version you are using.

hello, I wanted to add the Attendance plugin but it always shows the words Exception - Class 'core_search\area\base_activiti' not found

@Santos - the latest version is always in github and should work fine with 3.10. If you want to be helpful you could install it in 3.10 and report any issues you find to the github tracker.

Good plugin, when can it be available for version 3.10?

@Ruth Bor - best place to ask for help using the plugin is in the attendance forum here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=741 - Of course, anything is possible if you have internal development capabilities, alternatively if you want to fund development on the plugin feel free to get in touch privately for details on rates etc.

Hi Dan.
Thank you for this great plugin. It is essential for us.
I have 2 questions:
The first regards the interaction of the Attendance activity with the Course Template plugin: I have several courses that repeat themselves every 3-4 weeks so use the course templates plugin to create course models that i can use any time i need to create a new course without needing to create it from 0. In the course template i insert the start and end time and in its Attendance activity i configure the sessions of this course (in my case morning, afternoon sessions for 5-28 days). So in occasion of a new course all i need to do is to create a course from template, input new short name or code and change the start and end time and i have a new course. The problem i have is that the sessions in the Attendance Activity remain with the same date that i gave them when i created the template. Is there a way to automate this procedure? I want the sessions to "adapt" itselves to the new dates.
Second question: In every session i need to mark as present in the begining and at the end. So if i take the morning session from 8am to 12am i need to be able to mark at 8 and to mark at 12 and only then the student is marked as present for the whole session. Is there a way to implement this function?
Thanks in advance!!

@Robert - the best place for feature requests to the attendance plugin is in the tracker: https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-mod_attendance/issues

First, thanks for this plugin. Instructors are very pleased with it, especially since COVID.
I have tiny issue, if I change the student order to first name, then change the paging, the ordering changes back to last name order.
Could the paging be removed, or the default be "do not use paging"?
Thank you.

@Jerin - best to ask for help in the community forums - make sure you include screenshots and the version of Moodle, and the version of attendance you are using.

I have installed the activity and taken the attendance. The datas are now saving inside the sections but its not updated on report , could you please help me by guding ?

@Joseph - No, feel free to ask for help in the forums.

Is there an ER diagram I can use to make a site-wide weekly attendance report for all students across all courses? So basically I would need an ER diagram for attendance_log, attendance_sessions, user, and course.

@Lincoln - No. better to ask these sorts of questions in the forums - make sure you explain in more detail what it is you are trying to do and someone might have a suggestion.

I wanted a plugin to control the teacher's workload. In the case how long it was online, with this plugin can I do this?

@Bernard, as I mentioned above, please, please, please stop commenting here, and comment on the github tracker here:
https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-mod_attendance/issues/394
In Particular - I want to know (add your comment to the github tracker) if you think the existing translations are valid - and if I need to increase the character limits in the database, or if you think the translation is not valid in which case I can look at preventing the fatal error during install.
