Subcourse
Maintained by
Dan Marsden, Catalyst IT
Subcourse behaves as a graded activity. The grade for each student is automatically fetched from a final grade in another course. This allows course designers to organize the learning content into separate units.

Thanks for your reply!
Just by coincidence I found out, that it is some weird theme behavior. "Expected completion on" checkbox is disabling the input one row above, not same row date fields ... In subcourse plugin case it is "Require course completed". In SCORM case irt is "Require all scos to return completion status". Weird ...
Hello David Gibert. Thank you for your comment and your offer. I must admit though I don't fully understand what you mean by that "note's table". May I ask you, let's move this conversation to the plugin's bug tracker (please find the link above at this page), report a new feature request there and ideally with some screenshots illustrating your use case. Thank you.
Several thing what i need for my LMS:
-The possibility for the teacher to drag and drop the course columns in the note's table for easier reading.
- The same things with the row
- In the head of ths note's table to see the image's course
- When the teacher clic on the note's student, he can see the détail of the note's course. "link"
For my use the key of your plugins is the notes table.
Thanks for your job. And i'm reday to pay your work for devellop more your plugins.
Maybe we can change in MP.
Bye
@Almants - sorry to hear about your troubles. However, I am not able to reproduce that problem. It still works as expected for me and I am able to enable "Student must complete the referenced course to complete this activity" without "Expected completed on". Maybe there are some other additional plugins installed on your site that are affecting this behaviour? Just guessing. I don't know why it should behave like that.
I'm not sure when did it happen but previously (Moodle 3.8, not sure about plugin version but the latest for Moodle 3.8) plugin allowed to set completion status for subcourse activity as "Require course completed - Student must complete the referenced course to complete this activity." without any "Expected completed on" date set. And it worked great for us as we do not need the date. Just the subcourse to be completed (according settings for course completion in appropriate subcourse).
Now (Moodle 3.10, plugin 9.0.1) This setting is blocked/disabled until "Expect completed on" is enabled and set.
Just wondering why is has been set like this and can it be enabled again without enabling completion date? We can't enable this date as students are coming and going randomly. We can't set one date for all of them.
Thanks!
No worries, I was able to move it. Thank you for your report.
Actually, this illustrates a likely bug in the Moodle / Plugins directory integration. The version number can get easily outdated, and it should not lead to cases like this. May I ask you to report it as a new issue at tracker.moodle.org, project MDLSITE, component "moodle.org/plugins" please. Thanks!
It could be. When you press "Install now" you should be taken to "My sites" page. What is the Moodle version specified there for your site?
Oops.... I see in my instance subcourse version 5.0.1. I uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled it via the "Install now" choosing 9.0.1 in Moodle plugins List. It's 5.0.1 that get installed. If i choose to install it via a download of the zip file, i get 9.0.1.
An issue on the Install Now process ?
I didn't have this problem with other plugins i installed this way.
@Laurent - what version of the module do you have installed? That has been actually addressed two years ago in https://github.com/mudrd8mz/moodle-mod_subcourse/commit/51bdd843b266a1be28e855fedac448e8e993ddae
finally i found a solution. This problem is related to the deprecation of the coursecatlib.php file. One more problem raises after : coursecat is deprecated also.
The solution I applied consists in editing file /mod/subcourse/mod_form.php :
comment out or suppress line 30
replace coursecat by core_course_category
This patch seems to be sufficient. Every thing seems to work for me now.
When i try to add a subcourse activity in a course I obtain an empty page. In debugging mode, I obtain :
Warning: require_once(D:\Bitnami\moodle-latest-310\moodle/lib/coursecatlib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Bitnami\moodle-latest-310\moodle\mod\subcourse\mod_form.php on line 30
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'D:\Bitnami\moodle-latest-310\moodle/lib/coursecatlib.php' (include_path='D:\Bitnami\moodle-latest-310\moodle/lib/pear;.;C:\php\pear') in D:\Bitnami\moodle-latest-310\moodle\mod\subcourse\mod_form.php on line 30
D:\Bitnami\moodle-latest-310\moodle is the root of my Moodle installation.
Did i forgot to install another required plugin ?
