Course Archiving

Thanks for reporting this. I replace the explicit table names now with the moodle place holder. So the correct prefix will always be added.
I also added a text string for the case that both lists(archive and delete) are empty.
You can find it in the new version uploaded today or the git branches for 31 and 32.

Is there a chance to add this option:
When confirm Archiving and the number of course to be archieved and / or to be deleted is zero say something like: Nothing to delete or archive

Hi. Thanks for the plugin but i'm having a problem.
In my config.php, the prefix of tables isn't mdl_ I have: $CFG->prefix = 'mdlvn_';
In some lines of the code you have: $sql = 'SELECT * FROM mdl_course. It causes the error: Table '....mdl_course' doesn't exist
Is there a chance to change the code to workaround this issue? THANK you.

Are you sure you try to add it on the front page and not on the my page? The Block is not allowed on the my page now.
When you turn editing on on the front page, you should find it in the dropdown menü to "Add a block" under the name "Course Archiving".
There are no dependencies to other plug-ins.

I installed it on a 2.6 system, but I can't get it to show up on the front page. Are there any dependencies that I should be aware of? This is a vanilla, newly-built 2.6 system.

Thanks for your answer Benjamin. Can I also ask you if it is possible not to uneroll students with this plugin? I have the same issue than Blair.

I just tested it in 2.8. There are no changes within the used moodle functions. So it update the version information to support 2.8.
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Benjamin, this plugin looks really cool and it suits with what I was looking for.
Are you going to release also the 2.8 version? is it supported? Thanks in advance!

I'm excited about the potential for this plugin! I do have a question (or a wishlist item) , though:
For us, we consider an Archive of a course to be a snapshot in time and is usually done at the end of a course. Because it's a snapshot in time, it needs to contain all of the students. Once the students are removed, we would consider it just a backup and not an archive. Do you think you might be able to add an option to KEEP students enrolled in the course?
Thanks!

i've re-updated this to point tracker issues url to the tracker component. Thanks for re-submitting this, re-approving.

Thanks for sharing this. Its installed fine here on 2.5. You may want to
include 2.6 too.
ps: I tried to configure and then see the block but i couldn't see anything
there yet, perhaps i missed a step somewhere?
