Non-core contributed modules

Hi David,

I would also find this extremely useful. I think on top of the proposed feature, it would be great to be able to add more than 1 stamp at the same time, to either one student or more at once. We use your module to record our "House points". We have 4 houses and several hundred students. So you can imagine how useful it would be if we had that feature (we sometime award 5 house points to all students in a house just for taking part...)

Another thing: How about allowing a quick "mass delete". I believe that when a user is able to add more than 1 thing at once, they like to be able to delete at the same rate as mistakes happen

Thanks for a great module,
Fred

I respectfully disagree with the marking of this as "Minor" priority.

Our staff has to award hundreds of stamps every day, so the ability to add stamps to multiple students in one operation is near essential.
We are looking at alternatives to this stamp collection, but would also like to keep it "in-house" as a Moodle plugin, and AFAIK there are no other similar plugins, so we are kind of stuck...!

It's been two years since anything happened with this - it would be great if we could get any feedback from the developer whether this feature will ever materialize or not.

Hi folks,

I have increased the priority of this to major. Still, I can not promise anything yet as we all in Moodle dev team are now focused on getting Moodle 2.0 out. Firstly, the module must be upgraded to work with Moodle 2.0 API and then, new features like this can be added. Of course I would like to see this feature implemented, ideally via AJAX.

Instead of trying to write your own solution, why not to try to prepare a patch for current Stamp collection module that I could integrate into the main source code base.

Thanks for your valuable feedbacks.

Hello again,
We cannot write our own solution, because we don't have inhouse programmers. Instead, we ended up using Google Docs spreadsheets to award dollars and then embedding read-only versions in courses. Not very elegant, but much faster for our overworked staff.
Once the ability to quick add stamps to multiple students has been implemented, though, we are ready to switch back!

Hi David and Tore. My classes are small - less than 15. But even then, adding stamps one by one proves to be quite a chore. A quick all-add feature would help speed up the award process and make it less tiresome. Just for your info, I've managed to implement a Stamp Collection block of sorts as well as multiple-stamp awarding. It's all on my blog at: http://moodurian.blogspot.com
David, I'm willing to spend some time on the "quick adding of stamps" feature. It's proving to be a tough nut to crack. So any tips on where to start?

It should be definitely easier for the version of the module for Moodle 2.x. There, multiple stamps can be assigned/edited in one step so that form might be just improved.

Thanks a lot for you contribution to this module.

Hi David.

Yes, I just tried the module for Moodle 2.x. It's definitely much easier thanks to the update button. At one click it updates all contents in all Text fields, into the database! This feature is definitely a time-saver, compared to the Moodle 1.9 version of the module. Many thanks!

The ultimate feature would be an "Add all the same Text content" feature that would allow the user to enter text into JUST one field, and then at the click a button, add stamps and the text content to ALL users.
