I would be happy to update and take over this plugin. I have maintained it and use it through Moodle 4.5. Please let me know if that would be possible.
We are also experiencing the issue on 2.9.1. The issue only exists with naturally-weighted grade reporting. If the grade book is set up to exclude hidden grades, Moodle computes an accurate current student score in the User Report, but the My Grades block reports a score that includes hidden grades.
I finally came back to this block after your help earlier in the year. I am now on 2.9.1. Still seeing the same behavior with Natural Grading. Wasn't sure if you were ever able to replicate?
I have noticed that in 2.8 if a course is set to Natural grading, the block does not report grades correctly. It will ignore the empty grades setting and calculate the percentage from total points possible for the course instead of total points attempted, giving students heart attacks as they see that they have only 21% or 15%!!!
Has anyone tested this block in Moodle 2.6+ ?
In case anyone else was as forgetful as me, to make it show you have to add 'My Grades' as a block. Do't do it in your own mymoodle. go here Access Settings > Site administration > Appearance > Default My home page. then turn editing on and then in left column add a block and choose my grades. It will ONLY show for you still. For everyone to see it, click the sprocket settings and inside choose to show this page on 'Any page matching the above'. Hopefully this helps someone as forgetful as me.
Hi Karen,
Is there anyway to set this so that only the grade from a final quiz within a course is given and not the overall?
Thanks in advance
Hi James, many thanks for your feedback on the appropriate directory levels for the block code, I've now updated the github and Plugins directory versions. Regards Karen
Hi Paula, many thanks for your feedback on the usability of the block which is always welcome! I'm planning to do some changes soon so will hopefully look after this as well, regards Karen
Hi Karen,
Could you please update the GitHub repo so the code is not in a subfolder?
The docs for installing from a repo show you should just be able to clone it into final location, but by having a subfolder this can not be done.
http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Git_for_Administrators#Installing_a_contributed_extension_from_its_Git_repository
e.g. Following will not work due to subfolder:
moodle/blocks/ # git clone https://github.com/k-holland/moodle-block_my_grades.git my_grades
Thanks,
James
Hello!
Karen thanks so much for your block. i just love it.
i just would like to increase the font size of the grade but i am not able to do it. can you help me?
Thanks
p.s. i am using moodle 2.5 and it works great!
Hi Anthony - sorry about those ^M characters, I've made a note to check for them in future, and both the Github and Moodle plugin versions have been updated accordingly. Many thanks again for your assistance and reviews, Karen
Karen - In reviewing the code, I noticed in the block_my_grades.php file that the lines ended with a ^M - could you make sure to remove those in all of the files and upload a new version. Peace - Anthony
Karen - Many thanks for all your work. I am going to install the block and give it a quick test before approving it but it looks like you have responded to the concerns. Once approved, new versions do not go through the same review process. Once a plugin is approved the new versions will be available to users right away with no delay. The review of the initial plugin gives a chance to make sure that folks are following a consistent process. Your responses have been exemplary - I just wish I had been able to respond in a more timely manner. Peace - Anthony
Hi Anthony
Many thanks for your kind and constructive feedback.
As suggested, I've renamed the Github.com respository name to the recommended format at https://github.com/k-holland/moodle-block_my_grades/tree/master/my_grades.
I've also added the recommended db/access.php file to the Github.com respository and updated the Moodle plugins downloadable zip at https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=block_my_grades. Sorry for missing that one!
I'll hope to complete documentation in Moodle Docs as suggested as I appreciate plugins are judged on their documentation quality among other things.
I have one or two enhancements I'd like to add to the plugin in due course, I just wanted to get the basic version completed and submitted first to get exposure to the process. I presume that adding a new version along with its release notes would be required and would the new version then need a fresh review and approval? Would I need to add a new issue under the tracker for the modification?
