          1. As a teacher, go to a report in a course that is generated using tablelib.php. For example a quiz report for a quiz that some students have attempted.

          2. Verify that the user name links to user/view.php including the coursed, and that you can see the user's course-specific profile there.

          3. Now go to a site-wide report that is generated using tablelib.php, e.g. /user/index.php?id=1

          4. Verify that the profile links go to the user's public profile user/profile.php?id=

          {userid}

          .

          Description

          The User link on the quiz report (mod/quiz/report.php) appears to link to /user/profile.php. This seems to be odd as with other user profile links within a class point at /user/view.php which can be viewed by the same user

          Both instances include the course as a parameter so I'm just wondering why this was the case?

            Actually, this applies to all tables output using tablelib (which include user names).

            I think this is the right logic.

            I'm not sure whether to pass this test or not.
            when I go to user/index.php?id=1 and hover over the participants name you see a url for view.php?id=X&course=1 but it does direct to user/profile.php?id=X
            This behaviour is the same on 2.2, 2.3 and the master integration branches.

            Ah, user/index.php does weird things. It does not use the flexible_table class properly. admin/user.php suffers from a similar problem.

            Therefore, to test this fix, you need to use a different page ... but I can't find a suitable one. Perhaps you need to add a quiz to the site front page, make some attempts there, then look at the quiz reports.

            I don't know if we should have a new MDL about cleaning up user/index.php, etc.

            I retested this with the further instructions that Tim gave. I can see now what the issue is and can verify that this works on 2.2, 2.3 and master.
            Thanks.

            Test passed.
