Portfolio

Hi Davo, thanks for the Portfolio Plugin
I have a question about it.
Can course students share their submissions with other students in the same course?

William - before I can do anything about that, you need to turn on debugging for your site and give me the full error message.

Davo, thank you for your quick reply. I repeated the install steps again. Do see the Portfolio in the 'Add an activity..' menu, be able to start setting the Portfolio, like Chapter, notification etc, but when click on 'save and display', it shows: Error reading from database.

William - 'Portfolio' should appear in the 'add activity' menu. Please can you confirm that there are no error / warning messages with debugging switched on for your site, and that the user you are trying this with has the capability 'mod/giportfolio:addinstance'.

I installed it on my Moodle2.6 and the version valid check was OK, install finished successfully. But, I can't see anything new from 'Add an activity or resource', nor from 'Add a block'. How to start to use this mod?

German, a very belated thanks for the language correction and the Moodle docs page.
I've updated the language pack and released a new version to Github + Moodle.org.

Hi Davo,
I just created a Moodle Docs page at http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/admin/setting/modsettinggiportfolio, which is linked when a user clicks on 'Moodle Docs for this page' at the setup page for this plugin.
Please feel free to correct as needed, and add a link for 'Moodle Documentation for this plugin'
Thanks again for another great Moodle add-on.

Hi Davo,
I think I found a small typo in the English strings in 2.6 [contributioncount,giportfolio] 'Show conribution count'
I think it might be 2.6 [contributioncount,giportfolio] 'Show contribution count'

The version on github has been fixed to be compatible with Moodle versions before 2.5 (it is usually helpful to include your Moodle version whenever you are reporting an error message), but it looks like I've not propagated the changes to Moodle.org yes - I'll do that in a moment.

Hi Davo. We've decided to take a quick look at this, but are hitting some install errors:

Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated (we're running under MySQL 5.5, btw).

Yes - I had some initial problems with it clashing with 'portfolio' as a core part of Moodle, so that is why, internally, it is called 'giportfolio'.
Hopefully anyone using it will not get confused with the portfolio export feature ...

Hi Davo and thanks for sharing this here.
This seems to be an interesting mix between assignment submissions and lesson.
ps: I couldn't help think there might be some slight confusion with moodle portfolio exports but am keen to see where this can go.
