Non-core contributed modules

Just found the comments Herbert Plass made on http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=811

This works. So who could update the improved version of view.php to the module download, please?

Thanks for your help

Norbert - Would you be kind enough to upload the working view.php file here to the tracker (or a diff file). Then I can review it in context and check in the change. Hopefully we can get the developer of the module to help out with this. Peace - Anthony

Norbert - It sounds like you were able to get this working for your site; however, I would like to get it fixed in CVS too. Could you upload a copy of the view.php file that you are using so that I can fix it. It will help save me a lot of time. Also, I have contacted the original contributor of the code and asked him (http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=251849&course=1) to check out this bug report and comment on it. Peace - Anthony

I am having almost the same issue on an updated installation of 1.92 build 20080711. When logged in as Administrator (and I've changed the role to allow Everything), when I select "Attendance-charts" I am brought to the page that has a week-by-week table. If I select any given week or "Summary Attendance-chart" I am brought to a page with a Red warning block that says "Sorry, but you do not currently have permissions to do that (View the attendance-chart)"

When I select "More information about this error" it brings me to the moodle.org help page that says this is a bug and there isn't a resolution, and suggests I submit a bug-tracker report. So, I searched and found this one that is almost identical.

Thanks for any assistance.

Joe - I requested that Norbert upload the fix he used to get this working; however, I do not see that he did so. He may have put it somewhere in the forums so it may be worth checking. I also tried contacting Vladimir ZeD who contributed the code initially but did not hear back from him either. If Norbert reads this perhaps he will provide some insight. I have emailed Vladimir. If we do not get a response, just post back here and I will do my best to take a look at it and see if we can get things fixed up for you. Peace - Anthony

Thanks Anthony,

I solved this issue in Moodle 1.92 build 20080711 by using the advice of Herbert Plass from the forum.

In the mod/attendancechart/view.php file, Search out both instances of CONTEXT_COURSE and change them to CONTEXT_MODULE.

That's all... This solved the issue for me. Note that this was a Fantastico upgraded version of Moodle from 1.8x to 1.92 build 20080711.

I hope this helps someone.

Dmitry - I'm not sure why this was assigned to me but I am going to reassign it to you since you are listed as the component lead for the Attendance module. Peace - Anthony

Anthony - "Attendance chart" is different module than I develop.

Page of module: http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=811
Maintainer: http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=251849&course=1

assigning back to Anthony and removing component - this is not related to the attendance package,

heh...take 2 at assigining to AB

Norbert - It seems that you were able to get this resolved for your site. I have made attempts to contact Vladimir ZeD without success. I am going to resolve this as 'Will not fix' since the code is not in CONTRIB there is nothing really I can do. It looks as though Vladimir has moved on so this code likely needs a new maintainer if you wanted to advocate for that in the forums. I'm going to make a note in the M&P entry (http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?rid=811&page=538) that it needs a maintainer. Sorry I could not be of more help. Peace - Anthony

There is no current maintainer for the code. I've posted a comment in the M&P entry if anyone is interested in picking it up. Peace - Anthony

Closing all of my resolved issues. Peace - Anthony
