Richard,
Another possible cause that you might investigate is if the assignment was set for group submission and then switch back from group submission after some students submitted.
Hi Emma,
This is not possible. The logs would show 'User A as User B'. I can see myself in the logs that way if I log in as another user.
Also, both user A and user B have student rights... they should not have the ability to log in as another user.
Hi.
Somebody could indicate me the ER or scheme of tables, in the process of verification of a raised file or answer of a task.
After I manually changed an ID of the course_category table, many courses were blocked, and the moodle help said run the cron several times. I did it. And it did not work.
I ended up restoring the context and course_category tables of a backup 2 days ago.
After that, I was able to enter the blocked courses.
But now, I do not have visible the files sent in some tasks of some courses.
I found that the context of the table files, for that course and user obtained with the relation of the table assignsubmission_file, which pointed to another contextid (another course), I changed that value, and I already get the name of the file in the task and your link, but an error that indicates that it is not found.
But looking at the contenthash field of the files table, it directs me to some folders and at the end to an encrypted file, which has the creation date and identical weight to the lost file of one of my tasks. But the moodle tells me that it is not found.
What I can do?.
I attach the ER that I have created for this case.Does anyone have any other ideas? We still haven't been able to come up with a reason for this issue.
HI - using Moodle 3.0.2 on Linux
I've just run into the old error in quick grading where you enter the grades and save, only to see a message:
"The grades were not saved because someone has modified one or more records more recently than when you loaded the page."
Previous suggestions were to empty the caches, make sure 'no filter' is set, or to apply a patch (which refers only to an earlier version 2.4 I think). Reading the tracker shows this has been fixed in earlier versions, apparently...
Any ideas?
At our school, the university has worked with Google to obtain a large cloud storage solution. I have created a folder and shared with each student. I instruct them to upload their files (large graphic files) in a zipped folder. Then they are to go to Moodle, click on the assignment link and just simply type in the filed that the file(s) have been submitted.
It is not convenient as the files are not in one place in Moodle. But it solves the storage problem.
I am fairly new to Moodle. I would like to know if there is a way to see one student and multiple assignment links at the same time. Currently, I am clicking on the assignment link, then clicking on See All Submissions. I would like at times to just see one student and be able to quickly go to each of their assignments and grade.
Hi. We have Moodle 3.1.6 and we are using the pdf annotation for the assignment feedback
In the folder moodledata/temp/assignfeedback_editpdf / was saved a 96GB file that gave us many problems. We still do not know why this file was created
When investigating we saw that in this folder are saved two copies for each pdf assignment file.
in this folder there are many temporary pdf files but they are not deleted. In cron scheduled tasks there is no option to delete these files.
Is it safe to delete them manually? How can we make them erased automatically?
Thanks
Erika
I have the same problem, tried to fixed it with google converter, the plugin works fine, but i have the same error code.
Dear ,
In moodle 3.3.
After student online assignment, Annotated pdf can be generated after teacher click on "Grade" to see their annotated pdf.
I upgraded Moodle from 3.3 to 3.4
However, annoated pdf cannot be generated in Moodle 3.4.
unoconv converters is used.
Please advise how to solve it.
Regards,
William
I would like to second this as a suggestion. Many of our instructors need to have the ability write directly on the submitted assignment document. The reference to comments is confusing and indirect; therefore less effective. Instructors can be concise enough to save space on the document.
Hello,
in our Moodle 3.5, the assignement does not show students in newly created group, so I can not evaluate their assignements.
Students are properly grouped in the list of participants, in the attendace module....
Note that students participate in two groups. As I checked, also the previous group, which is populated in the list of participants, is also empty...
Any help, please ?
When conversion issues arise, we look at the cron log. We usually see things like
Convert 1 submission attempt(s) for assignment 89155Is there an easy way without looking in the database to get to the assignment with that id? Seems I actually need the moduleid.
Maybe I'm missing something.
Scott, Hey we just want to thank you for posting that. The Online Text and File Submission Types are definitely causing us the same issue. BUG
PS. Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the "Online Text" by default for ALL Homeworks?
I believe you can set that in the module config
/admin/settings.php?section=assignsubmission_onlinetext
Since we changed that things have been much smoother.
Some info ... but maybe not exactly what you seek ...
Site Admin menu
Reports
Logs
Select the course
All participants/days
* select the assignment * - it's by name of the assignment, not ID.
updates
participating
That should present a page/listing of all info related to the assignment .... not sure about what it would report concerning conversions, however.

Thanks for trying to help. However, it shows the problem. These cron logs don't tell you what course, or the name of the assignment. They just give you an id, but it isn't the moduleid, it is the assignment id.
Then combo ... cli query of DB mdl_assign to get ID, course it resides in and it's name:
mysql> select id,course,name from mdl_assign;
OR ... maybe
mysql> explain mdl_file_conversion;

Thanks again Ken,
This works fine in my dev environment where I have access to run queries on the db, but on our production server I do not have this access.
Ok, seems I'm not mistaken, there isn't a way without the db to find out the assignment that is failing. All this could be made easier if the cron gave out the moduleid instead.
