The StudentID is not included as part of the name of the file for this student.
Any ideas what I can do to add the StudentID into the name of the file?
Has anyone found a way to include the studentID as part of the filename for assignments downloaded in a zip file? As per Vicki's post.
Thanks
Damyon, thank you for confirming my experience and raising the issue in the Tracker, MDL-44334. I've voted on it.
Is this issue related to the "Annotate PDF 2.6 assignment moves on iPad" problem? I see that you've started an issue in the tracker (MDL-44015) for that issue too. Thank you.
Using moodle 2.5, you can edit function download_submissions() in mod/assign/locallib.php file.
There, at line 2300, you can change this statement $prefix = clean_filename($prefix . '_' . $this->get_uniqueid_for_user($userid) . '_') in order to add student id (or idnumber) like this " .$student->id" .
So, you can edit that line with the this: $prefix = clean_filename($prefix . '_' . .$student->id . '_'); to have user id.
Is this a solution for you?
Hi there. I'm using Moodle 2.6.1+ (Build: 20140117) and there don't seem to be any options to control what each marking workflow does from the front end, perhaps something that could be implemented in future versions.
However, I am trying to find where about in the files I can modify so that grades are released to gradebook but still not visible to students when using any of the following stages: "Marking completed", "In review" or "Ready for release". We would like to be able to use the "export to excel" function of grades prior to releasing them to students but that is not possible as you have to mark them as "released" before they show up.
Can you point me into where about (which file(s)) I can change that please?
Thank you!
We've had a problem with a client who spent a number of hours interacting with the "Define Marking Guide" page and then lost all their work due to a session timeout.
Now, I hadn't see this page (in 2.5 in this case) until 5 minutes ago but it appears all to be done by Javascript. Now the question would be is should interacting with these forms reset the session cookie timeout? I'm not sure if there is any Ajax happening in the background that would reset the cookie but if there is not I sense a potentially serious bug here. For the user's point of view, it looks like they are heavily interacting with Moodle and it's hard to say, "well you should have saved your work sooner".
Can anybody enlighten me?
There is a work-around that will let you get to the other parts of the page, if you have to mark something before the fix comes out. Use the Page Up and Page Down buttons. You can also use the middle mouse button - click it, then slide the mouse up or down. Just be careful what you have selected when doing it...otherwise you might draw something you don't want to.
Both of these work for me. in Firefox and Chrome.
Hello,
Is it possible for teacher to upload word file when creating activity. In our LMS, teacher generally prepare a case study in word and expects users to download it fill the same doc sheet and upload back, and based on it teacher will provide the grade. Assignment seems to be best, but here teacher doesn't have option to upoad a doc file. So, is there a way to enable it or is there any other activity through which it can be achieved.
As with all text areas in Moodle, it is possible to add attachments as a link within the text.
Do something like this:
It may be a local or compatibility issue. Works fine on Win OS on Firefox and Chrome.
I actually just fixed this on the server that was locking up.
I took a look at the syslog on an off chance and saw a whole bunch of errors like:
warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/106333.1850: Permission denied
So I chmod'd the folder to correct the permissions and now the problem has gone away.
The machine I'm using is a VM clone of another machine so perhaps the permissions were screwed as part of the cloning. If can't think for the life of my though why a postfix error would stop the assignment grid from working.
Assignment allows you to grant extensions. It also allows you to grant extensions on anonymous assignments. As you have no idea who the students are (unless I am missing something) what is the point?
Scenario, student phones up and says "can I have an extension please?". Well, you can't give them one because how do you find them in the assignment grading screen.
The option is pointless IMO.
Hmm.. well here is a tracker issue to read MDL-42716
The max_input_vars didn't work for us. I had to go in and change the value for their options and then tell them to not go above a certain number of records. I may try to alter the code to remove that drop down for number of records until there is a real fix.
In the Moodle database:
SELECT * FROM mdl_user_preferences where name='assign_perpage';
It's different depending on the number of records. For one instructor I had to make it 20 for another I had to make it 10.
You will need to know the instructor's user id number. In this case it was 3.
UPDATE mdl_user_preferences SET value=10 WHERE userid=3 AND name="assign_perpage"
I know it's not the real fix but it helped us for now.
What did you change max_input_vars to and did you restart apache? It makes no sense that that would not work but cutting down number of students would.
Ahh... voted and watched
I changed it a few times (4000, 400000, and 400000) and I restarted apache after each change.
I never said it made sense, but it fixes it. I would be grateful for a real fix, but this does for now.
We have the same issue in 2.5.1+ (Build: 20130802) - emails work fine for when a student submits, but when we give a feedback file, it doesn't email the student notification its there. Previous versions we had no issues.
Did you ever get it solved?
That is just so strange because basically the error occurs because the "grid" is too big. What you are doing is shrinking the grid and the max_input_vars increases the allowed size of the grid so if one works, both should work. I have mine set to 20000 and have never had an issue through multiple Moodle versions. I just wonder if the setting did not take or if a caching issue was still give trouble. You might check your php info and see if the setting came through.
