ad-hoc contributed reports

Introduction

Note: The Moodle Docs wiki software was upgraded substantially in July 2021 and required all query code to be updated for language syntax presentation. I have done that and taken the opportunity to make some updates and cleaning up on this page. For more details, please see the discussion on Upgrade of Moodle docs and Ad-hoc reports page. Thanks, Randy.

Moodle Report Plugins

There are two plugins commonly used in Moodle for making and viewing SQL reports:

• Ad-hoc database queries
• Configurable Reports

The discussion forum dedicated to these plugins and how to make and use queries with them is located here: Configurable reports block (plugin). You will also find more information in the Analytics and reporting forum.

You can install and use either of these plugins into your Moodle site for reports. If you are more focused on emailing reports, first look at the Ad-hoc database queries. If you need to share reports with teachers and students in courses, then look at the Configurable Reports plugin.

Some Technical Notes for Report Users

Table Names and prefix_

You will see many of the queries below use "prefix_" to start table names, e.g. prefix_user. This prefix_ is used before table names when you are using either of the two plugins, Ad-hoc reports or Contributed reports. These two plugins replace prefix_ with the actual prefix set in your Moodle configuration config.php file. This is because while the default table prefix is mdl_, when you install Moodle you can designate any prefix you want, so it is customizable.

Queries written to be used with either of those two plugins should always have prefix_ to begin all table names instead of the actual prefix.

When you use tools outside those two Moodle plugins, such as PhpMyAdmin, Workbench, etc., you have to use the actual table names as they are in the database including the actual prefix set for your own site.

Therefore:

• If a query below has "prefix_" in its table names and you want to use that query in a tool such as phpMyAdmin, you will need to replace those with the actual prefix of your site's tables.
• If a query below has "mdl_" or some other prefix in its table names, and you are using that in either of the two Moodle plugins, you will need to replace those explicit prefixes with "prefix_".

You will receive a "No explicit prefix" error in either of those plugins if you use code with the actual table prefix in it.

About %%FILTER_ and similar Variables

You will see a number of queries with variables in them that start and end with two %% percentage signs, e.g. %%WWWROOT%% and several of them that start with %%FILTER_. Theses variables are specific to one or both of the two Moodle plugins. They are not standard SQL code and will not work in code done in other tools outside of those two plugins.

In addition, while these two plugins do share some of the variable, some only work in one plugin or the other. For example, %%WWWROOT%% works in both; the %%C%%, %%S%% and %%Q%% variables only work in the Ad-hoc database queries plugin; and those starting %%FILTER_ only work in the Configurable Reports plugin. You will receive a syntax error if you use a variable that the plugin does not support.

Find more details in the section on Variables below.

About Date and Time Formatting

Dates and times in Moodle are stored internally in the database as the Unix Epoch timestamp which is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 at 00:00 UTC, which in the database will be represented as 0.

To convert them to "human readable" formats we use everyday, you will need to do that in your query with code. There are numerous examples in the reports on this page: a search of this page for "FROM_UNIXTIME" will show you how to use and convert the dates. Note that when times are converted into standard date and times from timestamps are in UTC format and you may want to convert those to a local time zone.

The functions FROM_UNIXTIME and DATE_FORMAT that are common in the reports below are MySQL specific functions, which you can use in MySQL and MariaDB sites.

For other version of SQL, you will need to edit such queries to get them to work properly. For Postgres, see the manual page on Data Type Formatting Functions. There are a number of examples specific to Postgres among the queries below. For MSSQL, see this documentation at How to Return the Unix Timestamp in SQL Server. For Oracle, call Larry Ellison on his yacht and ask why he doesn't have a rocket yet like all the other vainglorious billionaires.

There are many date and time formats used in various countries, but all can be formatted based on the original timestamp value. For a sample in MySQL, you can use the following query to show you the install date of your Moodle site in several formats:

SELECT
l.timecreated AS "Timestamp",
DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(l.timecreated),'%d/%m/%Y') AS "Common world format",
DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(l.timecreated),'%m/%d/%Y') AS "US format",
DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(l.timecreated), '%Y-%m-%d') AS "ISO standard format",
DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(l.timecreated), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') AS "ISO standard format with 24 hour time"
FROM prefix_logstore_standard_log l
WHERE l.id =1

See the MySQL documentation for all the possible date formatting options.

Note: for timestamps that are 0, this sometimes represents "Never" or "No date" for some fields in Moodle. For example, if a user's first login is 0, that means they have never logged in at all, not that their first log in was January 1, 1970 (since Moodle did not exist yet). If you want to distinguish such dates in your output, you can use a conditional to test for the 0, for example:

IF(u.firstaccess = 0, "Never",DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(u.firstaccess),'%Y-%m-%d %H:%i')) AS 'FirstAccess',

which will show "Never" when the timestamp is 0 and the properly formatted date otherwise, allowing you to sort the column easily.

Standard Logs and Legacy Logs

The log table is the where events in the system are stored. It is a key table for certain types of reports, especially anything related to system events like logins, accessing pages, creating and deleting objects, changing settings, etc.

Moodle made a major update to the log system in Moodle 2.7 in 2014. The older log format using the table prefix_log are called "Legacy logs" while the current logstore system are called "Standard" logs. Unless your Moodle site was running such logs in the 2.7 and before era, and you for some reason chose not to update to the new log format, then you will be using the new log system, with a log table prefix_logstore_standard_log.

Use Standard Log Reports

Use the reports in the Standard Log Reports section below for current versions of Moodle unless you are sure you have ancient log data from very old Moodles in your system for some reason.

Since the legacy log table still exists in newer versions of Moodle, these Legacy queries may actually run but will not return results in later versions of Moodle using the new logstore system. You can check this for yourself with the following query on your site, which will show you the 0 count for the empty Legacy log table compared with your active Standard log table:

SELECT 
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM prefix_log) AS "Legacy_log",
COUNT(*) AS "Standard log"
FROM prefix_logstore_standard_log

Finding Old Legacy Log Reports

If you wish to find and use queries from this old system, you should search in the Ad-hoc pages for earlier versions of Moodle to find such reports, which will use the table prefix_log or mdl_log. Reports from Moodle 2.0 to 3.10 will contain such queries.

All these old queries have been removed from the pages for Moodle 3.11 and newer. If you are the author of one of these old queries, please consider updating your query for current Moodle logstore system and move it into the main Log Reports section of the current Moodle version. Thanks.

Suggestions for Contributors

Everyone is free to contribute to this page. If you have working queries that you think would be of use to community members, please share them here. The following suggestions would make your contributions more useful.

Versioning

• Only post queries verified to work in the current version of this page for its Moodle version: all Moodle docs pages are specific to one version of Moodle and are rolled over twice yearly at new releases in May and November
• Please do not post versions of queries for old, out-of-support versions (if you want to, use the version page specific to that version, not the current one)
• Please remove any query you have written that no longer works in the current version of Moodle: especially in cases of structural changes to tables that render old queries broken (e.g. changes in the Logs in 2.7, Messaging in 3.6, etc.)

Adding annotations for others

• If you are using a SQL dialect other than MySQL, please note which dialect it is and any specific functions or other quirks present
• Please consider putting your name and/or a link as "Contributed by"
• Please consider adding a short description of what your report does and its expected output
• If the code includes any non-default, third party plugins, please specifically note that in your description
• If your code includes any domain names, course or user names, or other references specific to your site, consider making those more generic
• Please use English since this is the English version of the Moodle documentation
• If there is a discussion or other information about the query from a forum discussion, feel free to link to that discussion

Commonly used table aliases

Over the years, some common conventions have arisen for table aliases. You will see these used often on these reports.

If you use these aliases, then your queries will be easier for others to read. But of course, any legal alias can be used.

• c = prefix_course
• cat or cc = prefix_course_categories
• cm = prefix_course_modules
• ctx or con = prefix_context
• e = prefix_enrol
• f = prefix_files
• l or log = prefix_logstore_standard_log
• m = prefix_module
• r = prefix_role
• ra = prefix_role_assignments
• u = prefix_user
• ue = prefix_user_enrolments

Other Useful Things

Please see the sections at the end of this page for other useful things including the database schema, commonly used snippets of code, the Config Reports variables and filters, and other nice things.

All Role Assignments with contexts

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

This lists all the roles that have been assigned in the site, along with the role shortname and the type of context where it is assigned, e.g. System, Course, User, etc. The last column, the context instance id, is the id number of the particular object where the assignment has been made. So, if the context is course, then the context instance id means the course id; if a category, then the category id, and so forth. So you can then use that number to locate the particular place where the role is assigned.

SELECT
u.username,
r.shortname AS "Role",
CASE ctx.contextlevel 
  WHEN 10 THEN 'System'
  WHEN 20 THEN 'Personal'
  WHEN 30 THEN 'User'
  WHEN 40 THEN 'Course_Category'

Least active or probably empty courses

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

It is difficult to know sometimes when a course is actually empty or was never really in use. Other than the simple case where the course was created and never touched again, in which case the course timecreated and timemodified will be the same, many courses created as shells for teachers or other users may be used once or a few times and have few or no test users enrollments in them. This query helps you see the range of such courses, showing you how many days if any it was used after initial creation, and how many user are enrolled. It denotes a course never ever modified by "-1" instead of "0" so you can sort those to the top. By default it limits this to courses used within 60 days of creation, and to courses with 3 or less enrollments (for example, teacher and assistant and test student account only.) You can easily adjust these numbers. The query includes a link to the course as well.

Which courses has redundant topics

This report list several "active topics" calculations, per course. which should give an administrator some indications for which topics/sections/weeks are filled with resources and activities and which ones are empty and not used (usually, at the end of the course).

The following, second SQL query, could be used to "trim" down those redundant course topics/sections/weeks by updating the course format's numsection (Number of sections) setting. (It's a per course format setting!)

The following SQL REPLACE query is used for "fixing" (updating) the "numsections" of a specific course format "onetopics" (you can always change it, or discard it to use this SQL REPLACE on all course formats)

REPLACE INTO `mdl_course_format_options` (`id`, `courseid`, `format`, `sectionid`, `name`, `value`)
SELECT NULL, c.id, 'onetopic', '0', 'numsections', (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `mdl_course_sections` WHERE `course` = c.id AND name != '')

All the Groups I am in in all courses

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

This will show all the groups in all courses that the user running the report is a member of. It uses the variable %%USERID%% used by the two Moodle plugins to do this.

SELECT
c.shortname AS Course,
g.name AS Groupname
FROM (SELECT userid, groupid FROM prefix_groups_members WHERE userid = %%USERID%%) AS GRU
JOIN prefix_user u ON u.id = GRU.userid
JOIN prefix_groups g ON g.id = GRU.groupid
JOIN prefix_course c ON c.id = g.courseid
# uncomment to limit it to only the current course 
WHERE g.courseid = %%COURSEID%%
ORDER BY c.shortname, g.name

Group Export

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

There's a group import function, but no export. Use this to give you a report with the proper column order and headings to export to a csv file you can then import into another course to replicate the groups. This is a simple version with just the main fields: groupname, description, enrolment key.

SELECT g.name AS groupname, g.description, g.enrolmentkey
FROM prefix_groups AS g
JOIN prefix_course as c ON g.courseid = c.id
WHERE c.id = #

COURSE DESIGN REPORTS

These are reports which summarize course design aspects, such as activity and resource modules per section, types of activities used, etc.

Course Content/Week

Contributed by Elizabeth Dalton, Granite State College

This report assumes that the first 14 sections in a course, not including the "0" or "Welcome" section, correspond to weeks (with "Subsections" given numbers much higher in the sequence). Of those sections, each is checked to count the number of:

   Forums
   Graded Activities (may include Forums)
   Resources (not including a Label)

Totals of each of these types of content elements per section are provided.

Note: Only visible resources and activities are counted. Note: this is a "Global" report. Run it within a course to see a summary of the contents of that course.

Assignments and Weights

Contributed by Elizabeth Dalton, Granite State College

Returns a list of grade book categories for the current course, grade book weightings, the first type of assignment included in the category, a count of different assignment types for each category, and a count of assignments for each category.

Categories with weights of 0 are not included in this report.

Only visible activities are included in this report.

Note: This is designed to be a "Global" report in Configurable Reports.

Pre-Term Course Review

Contributed by Elizabeth Dalton, Granite State College

Provides an overview of the readiness of ONLINE, HYBRID, and BLENDED courses in the Staging category and all subcategories. Links to each course are provided. Other details:

1. "Required blocks" include Instructor Block (mooprofile), Activities, and the Research block.
2. "Instructor Details" block is not the "Instructor" block (mooprofile) automatically provided by the system. It is an optional block that can be edited by the instructor. If not edited to remove boilerplate text, it should be hidden.
3. All courses should be in the "Collapsed Topics" format with the "Weeks" structure.
4. "Weeks defined in course settings" is taken from our SIS when the course shells are created, but can be edited by faculty. "# of weeks named and visible" should usually match or exceed this value.
5. We recommend that each week contain at least one forum, at least one graded activity, and at least one ungraded resource.
6. "Syllabus updated" date is for the first attached file found with the text "syllabus" in the name. The "Days ago" calculation is included for convenience.

Note: At our institution, we construct categories each term, and insert a text string "staging" in the Category ID for pre-term courses during the preparation or "staging" phase of course development. We remove this text string (and change it to "production") when courses go live at the start of the new term.

Course Syllabus

Contributed by Elizabeth Dalton, Granite State College / Moodle HQ

This report requires ELIS. It runs from within a course and constructs a course syllabus based on content in the course and in the ELIS entries related to the course (Class Instance, Course Description, and Program). It is a proof-of-concept of an automated syllabus production tool. Fields such as "Course Policies" and "Teaching Philosophy" are added to the Class Instance records, and instructors enter them there. The Instructor Bio is pulled from the User Profile of all users with the Teacher role in the course.

COURSE COMPLETION and GRADE REPORTS

Site-Wide Grade Report with All Items

Shows grades for all course items along with course totals for each student. Works with ad-hoc reports or Configurable Reports.

Editor Note: This version is for MSSQL server. For MySQL, see below.

SELECT u.firstname AS 'First' , u.lastname AS 'Last',
u.firstname + ' ' + u.lastname AS 'Display Name',
c.fullname AS 'Course',
cc.name AS 'Category',

CASE
  WHEN gi.itemtype = 'course'
   THEN c.fullname + ' Course Total'
  ELSE gi.itemname
END AS 'Item Name',

JOIN prefix_grade_items AS gi ON gi.id = gg.itemid
JOIN prefix_course_categories as cc ON cc.id = c.category

WHERE  gi.courseid = c.id
ORDER BY lastname

For MySQL users, you'll need to use the MySQL DATE_ADD function instead of DATEADD. Replace the line:

DATEADD(ss,gg.timemodified,'1970-01-01') AS Time

with:

FROM_UNIXTIME(gg.timemodified) AS Time

And:

u.firstname + ' ' + u.lastname AS 'Display Name',

with:

CONCAT(u.firstname,' ',u.lastname) AS 'Display Name',

And:

THEN c.fullname + ' Course Total'

with:

THEN CONCAT(c.fullname,' Course Total')

Editor Note by Randy Thornton: or in full the MySQL version is:

SELECT u.firstname AS 'First' ,

Grades for all students in all courses

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

A basic report showing grades for Students in all courses. It has only four columns: username, course shortname, grade, and date, restricted to the standard role of Student. You can use this as the basis for more complex reports.

SELECT

c.shortname AS "Course",
ROUND(gg.finalgrade,2) AS "Grade",
DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(gg.timemodified), '%Y-%m-%d') AS "Date"

This report shows the users completion status of activities across all courses. It is intended to be uses with Configurable Reports filters for user, start and end times, and also to be able to search the Module names. It includes the new core H5P module in 3.10. Add any third party activity modules you may have in your site as you need. Also, thanks to Tim Hunt for improvements to this query.

Assignment Activity

Note: The current Assignment module uses the tables with names starting with prefix_assign_. This is the module introduced in Moodle 2.3 and has been in use ever since then (2012).

The old, previous Assignment module used tables beginning with prefix_assignment_. This old module was removed and has not been supported since Moodle 2.7. If you have any modern version of Moodle, only use the queries below that are for the new module. If you are the author of one of the older assignment modules, please remove it to prevent confusion. Thanks.

Rubrics without zero values in criteria

Contributed by Eric Strom

Rubric calculations in Moodle can fail to align with instructors expectations if they lack a zero value for each criterion used in the assessment. From documentation at https://docs.moodle.org/32/en/Rubrics#Grade_calculation:

"For example, when the teacher in the previous example chose both levels with 1 point, the plain sum would be 2 points. But that is actually the lowest possible score so it maps to the grade 0 in Moodle. TIP: To avoid confusion from this sort of thing, we recommend including a level with 0 points in every rubric criterion."

This report identifies rubrics having criteria without a zero value level and the courses they live in. This also refines to only assignments with active rubrics that are visible to students in the course. Links to the each rubric id is the direct link to edit the rubric. Fix by adding a zero level for each criteria that is missing it. In general, the grading changes that result will be in the students' favor.

Show all the Questions with their Answers for all the Lessons in a site. This shows the questions as set up, not student responses. This is known to work in 3.11 but note that this may change in Moodle 4.0 or 4.1 due to plans to have the Lesson module use the standard question bank questions.

part 1: 84; part 2: 92; part 3: 2; part 4: 98
part 1: 85; part 2: 107; part 3: 0; part 4: 100

Quiz Usage in Courses by Date

Contributed by Elizabeth Dalton, Granite State College

This report lists the courses containing quizzes with the course start date between the two values, and provides a summary of the types of questions in the quizzes in each course and whether question randomization and answer randomization functions were used.

"Multiple Choice" questions include true/false and matching question types.

"Short Answer" are questions that accept a single phrase.

"Other" questions include fixed numerical, calculated, essay, and various drag and drop types.

"Min Quiz Age" and "Max Quiz Age" provide data about the last modified date for the quizzes in the course, compared to the course start date. The values are expressed in units of days. A negative value indicates that a quiz was edited after the start of the course. A value greater than 90 days indicates that the quiz may have been used in an earlier term (cohort) without modification.

Note: In Configurable Reports, the Date Filter is not applied until the "Apply" button is clicked.

List all the certificates issued, sort by variables in the custom profile fields

Editor note: This is for the classic Certificate module, which is no longer maintained since Moodle 3.3

Note: The SQL queries look intimidating at first, but isn't really that difficult to learn. I've seen in the forums that users wanted to do 'site-wide' groups in 1.9x. This is sort of the idea. It pulls all the certificates issued to all users sorted by the custom profile fields, which in my case is the Units or Depts (i.e. my site wide groups). Why certificates? I've explored with both grades and quizzes, the course admins are not really interested in the actual grades but whether the learner received a certificate (i.e. passed the course with x, y, z activities). It also saves me from creating groups and assigning them into the right groups. Even assigning in bulk is not efficient, since I have upward of 25 groups per course and constantly new learners enrolling in courses. The limitation is something to do with the server? as it only pull 5000 rows of data. If anyone figured out how to change this, please let me know. In the meantime, the work around is to pull only a few units/depts at a time to limit the number of rows. This is fine at the moment, since each course admin are only responsible for certain units/depts.

All Simple Certificates Earned in the Site

Editor's note: This query is specific to the the Simple Certificate plugin.

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

Basic report of all certificates earned with the Simple Certificate plugin module in the whole site, sorted by most recent first.

SELECT
CONCAT (u.firstname, ' ',u.lastname) As 'User',
c.fullname AS 'Course',
sc.name AS 'Certificate',
DATE_FORMAT( FROM_UNIXTIME(sci.timecreated), '%Y-%m-%d' ) As 'Date Awarded'

JOIN prefix_user u ON sci.userid = u.id
JOIN prefix_simplecertificate sc ON sci.certificateid = sc.id
JOIN prefix_course AS c ON sc.course = c.id
ORDER BY sci.timecreated DESC

If you want to limit this to the most recent ones, you can add a condition to limit it to a certain number of days past. For example, adding this WHERE clause (above the ORDER BY) will show only those earned in the last 30 days:

WHERE DATEDIFF(NOW(),FROM_UNIXTIME(sci.timecreated) ) < 30

ADMINISTRATOR REPORTS

Privacy Policy Details

Known to work in 3.11. May work in earlier versions of the Privacy policy system.

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

In the privacy policies management tools, you can see some but not all of the information about the various policies you have. Some key data is missing, including when and by whom policies were last changed. This report provides such information. It outputs the policy id, name, whether it is active or not, whether is archived or draft, what type it is, the audience, whether optional or required, dates, and who edited it last.

SELECT 
p.id AS "Policy id",
# v.id AS "Version id",

g.name AS setting,
CASE
 WHEN g.plugin IS NULL THEN "core"

List of users with language

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

An issue with systems that do not have their default language set up properly is the need to do a mass change for all users to a localization. A common case (in the U.S., Canada and the Americas) is changing the default English to United States English.

This will show you the language setting for all users:

SELECT username, lang from prefix_user

This code will change the setting from 'en' to 'en_us' for all users: NOTE: UPDATE commands require the ability to alter the database directly via tools like Adminer or PHPMyAdmin or other db tools. You will not be able to do this with the two Moodle report plugins.

UPDATE prefix_user SET lang = 'en_us' WHERE lang = 'en'

To do this for only users who have a particular country set, use this as an example:

UPDATE prefix_user SET lang = 'en_us' WHERE country = 'US' AND lang = 'en'

List of users with Authentication

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

Sometimes you need to do mass changes of authentication methods. A common case is changing default manual to LDAP.

This will show you the Authentication setting for all users:

SELECT username, auth from prefix_user

NOTE: UPDATE commands require the ability to alter the database directly via tools like Adminer or PHPMyAdmin or other db tools.

This code will change the setting from 'manual' to 'ldap' for all users except for the first two accounts which are Guest and Admin. (WARNING: it is bad practice to change your admin account from manual to an external method as failure of that external method will lock you out of Moodle as admin.)

UPDATE prefix_user SET auth = 'ldap' WHERE auth = 'manual' AND id > 2

Course Aggregation Report

Contributed by Elizabeth Dalton, Granite State College

If you are considering upgrading from Moodle 2.6 to 2.8 or later, your grades may be changed. This report can help quantify and identify the courses at risk of changes.

In particular, be on the lookout for any courses with the following combinations of parameters, which are known to cause changes in calculations:

1. mean of grades set with aggregate with subcategory.
2. Simple weighted mean of grades with aggregate with sub category and drop the lowest
3. Sum of grades drop the lowest

Also review: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-48618 https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-48634 https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-49257 https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-50089 https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-50062

Flat file enrollments waiting for processing

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

This lists all enrolments uploaded by the Flat file enrolment method that are currently waiting to be processed. When the optional enrolment start date is set for a user in the file, and this start date is in the future, the enrolment information is held in the database until the time for the actual enrolment to start at which time the user is actually enroled. This report allows you to see any and all such enrolments that are waiting to be done.

SELECT

Find out how much disk space is used by all automated backup files:

SELECT SUM(filesize)/(1024*1024*1024) FROM `mdl_files` WHERE  `filename` LIKE '%mbz%' AND filearea =  'automated'

LOG REPORTS

Logs Skeleton Report Containing All Log Columns

Contributed by: Randy Thornton.

This query contains all the columns in the standard log table (as of Moodle 3.11 anyway). You can use this to uncomment the various fields that you want to have in a report. I have uncommented a few common columns (id, action, target, userid, courseid, etc.) so you can see how it works as well as adding some useful things such as grabbing user and course names, formatting times, etc. Note also: when commenting and uncomment near the end, be sure to take care with your final commas :)

WARNING: Do NOT use this query as is on the live site unless you are sure you know what you are doing! Logs can get really big and a log query could take a long time to run. Always add something to the WHERE clause or use other means to limit the results to what you really need.

# you really want to add a WHERE clause to limit your results to your specific object to look for eg course, user, time frame etc
# WHERE something = something

# Sorting: TIP - time created seems more accurate than id oddly for the actual sequencing due to the way the events are logged
ORDER BY l.timecreated

Course Creation and Restore Times

Contributed by: Randy Thornton Versions: known to work in Moodle 3.8 to 3.11

When a course is created, the time and the person creating the course are logged by the event system, and the course itself also contains this time. However, when a course is restored, unfortunately, the course creation time is not updated to the time of the restore, but retains the time created for the original course you are restoring from. This can create lots of false data for course creation times (as discussed in this forum conversation and Tracker 70467.)

This report shows the actual creation time of all courses in your logs, whether created anew or restored, with the time and the user creating/restoring them. It also handles the cases where courses have been deleted or the user who created/restored them has been deleted as well.

SELECT
l.id AS "Log_id",
IF(c.id IS NULL,CONCAT("(deleted id: ",l.courseid, ")"),c.shortname) AS "Course",
IF(l.action='restored',"Restored","Created") AS "Action",
IF(u.id IS NULL,CONCAT("deleted id: ",l.userid, ")"),u.username) As "By",
DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(l.timecreated),'%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') AS "At_UTC"
FROM prefix_logstore_standard_log l
LEFT JOIN prefix_course c ON c.id = l.courseid
LEFT JOIN prefix_user u ON u.id = l.userid
WHERE l.eventname =  '\\core\\event\\course_created' 
OR l.eventname = '\\core\\event\\course_restored'

Distinct user logins per month

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

The following will show you the months of the current calendar year with the total number of distinct, unique user logins per month. Change the year in the WHERE clause to the year you need.

SELECT

 DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(l.timecreated), '%M') AS 'Month'
FROM prefix_logstore_standard_log l
WHERE l.action = 'loggedin' AND YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(l.timecreated)) = '2017'
GROUP BY MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(l.timecreated))

Total activity per course, per unique user on the last 24h

SELECT
    COUNT(DISTINCT userid) AS countUsers

Weekly Instructor Online Participation

Contributed by Elizabeth Dalton, Granite State College

Displays participation of instructors in all courses per week of a term, including pre-term and post-term edits. An edit is defined as a change to the course, such as a discussion post, the grading of an assignment, or the uploading of file attachments, as well as alterations to course content.

• To specify a subject and/or course number, use % as a wildcard, e.g. ARTS% or ARTS501%
• To match part of a last name, use %, e.g. Smi% will match "Smith", "Smile", etc.

At our institution, we include filters on the course name or category to constrain by terms. These are very specific to how course names and categories are constructed at our institution, so I've removed those elements from this code. Also, our terms are 12 weeks long. You would want to insert additional "SUM" lines for longer terms, or remove lines for shorter terms.

Note: This report can take a long time to run. While it can be run in Configurable Reports on demand, it may be more appropriate to implement it in the Ad Hoc Queries plugin as a scheduled report.

Weekly Student Online Participation

Contributed by Elizabeth Dalton, Granite State College

Displays participation of students in the current course by week, including pre-term and post-term edits. An edit is defined as a change to the course, such as a discussion post, the submission of an assignment, or the completion of a quiz, as well as alterations to course content such as database entries (if permitted).

Links to three other reports are also provided:

• Logs: complete log entries for the student in the course, organized by date
• Activity Outline: the "Outline Report" from the User Activity Reports, summarizing the student's activity in the course, organized by course content
• Consolidated Activity Report: the "Complete Report" from the User Activity Reports, detailing the student's activity in the course, organized by course content (includes text of forum posts)

Note: This should be defined as a "Global" report (visible from within all courses). At our institution, our terms are 12 weeks long. You would want to insert additional "SUM" lines for longer terms, or remove lines for shorter terms. We pull advisor names into student user profiles as part of our configuration. These lines are present in the code below, but are commented out, as they are very specific to your Moodle configuration.

My Weekly Online Participation

Contributed by Elizabeth Dalton, Granite State College

Displays participation of the current user in the current course by week, including pre-term and post-term submissions/edits. A submission/edit is defined as a change to the course, such as a discussion post, the submission of an assignment, or the completion of a quiz, as well as alterations to course content such as database entries or new course activities or resources (if permitted).

This report uses Standard Logs (post 2.7).

Faculty/Student Interactions

Contributed by Elizabeth Dalton, Granite State College

Returns a count of instructor and other-student responses to student activity for the specified time period. This report can help indicate whether students' comments are being responded to, as well as summarizing post activity by students during the specified time.

Note: This version of the report uses legacy (pre-2.7) logs. See below for the post-2.7 Standard Logs version.

Note: This should be defined as a "Global" report (visible from within all courses).

Note: This report can take a long time to run.

Student Resource Usage for Standard Core Modules only

Updated version contributed by Randy Thornton, based on report above contributed by Elizabeth Dalton, Granite State College.

This is the same report as the above, but with thee changes so that it will work in any standard Moodle installation:

• all the non-core, third party activity module references have been removed
• the new core H5P Activity has been added
• shows all the data in all courses with the course shortname (however if you want to limit it to the current course, then uncomment the "# AND c.id = %%COURSEID%%" statement in the WHERE clause)

Known to work in Moodle 3.11.

And...

Counting user's global and unique hits per day + counting individual usage of specific activities and resources (on that day),

Annual course/attendance report

This report is designed for a site where all students are always subscribed in every course divided in fix groups and where the lessons are organised by the teacher using the groups . The real participation is confirmed by the teacher. As also teachers are assigne to all courses, the teacher of a specific lesson is considered to be the user who created the lesson. An annual limitation parameter csnnot be added in this module, so I added a limitation to the current calendar year. Eventually a copy of the report is needed for the past year in order to be able to launch it in January, too.

This snippet shows how to get teachers from a course. The contextevel for course objects is 50. And the default Teacher role is role id 3. If you change the number to 5, it will list Students instead.

FROM prefix_course ic
JOIN prefix_context con ON con.instanceid = ic.id
JOIN prefix_role_assignments ra ON con.id = ra.contextid AND con.contextlevel = 50
JOIN prefix_role r ON ra.roleid = r.id
JOIN prefix_user u ON u.id = ra.userid
WHERE r.id = 3 AND ic.id = c.id
GROUP BY ic.id
) AS TeacherNames

To get all Students instead, use the role id number of 5 instead of 3.

Forms of user names

There are a great variety of different ways to show the names of users in the reports above. Moodle, unlike some applications, does not have a single column for the users whole name, but has separate columns for first name and last name (or surname). If you just need to change the name formats, you can use any of these snippets:

SELECT
u.id AS "Internal id",
u.username,
u.firstname,
u.lastname,
CONCAT(u.firstname, ' ', u.lastname) AS "First name - last name",
CONCAT(u.lastname, ' ', u.firstname) AS "Last name - first name",
CONCAT(u.id, ' ', u.username, ' ',u.idnumber) AS "Id - username - idnumber",
u.email,
u.idnumber AS "User idnumber",
IF(u.deleted = 1, "Deleted","Not deleted") AS "Deletion status",
IF(u.suspended = 1, "Suspended","Active") AS "Suspension status"
FROM prefix_user u

Including and Excluding Deleted and Suspended Users

All users have two columns in their user entry in the prefix_user table: deleted and suspended. The value of 0 (false) means the user is not deleted or not suspended, respectively. A value of 1 (true) means the user is deleted or suspended, respectively. To exclude user accounts that have been deleted or suspended from any query, you can add a WHERE clause restriction (among other ways to do this).

To show only active users, use any of these equivalent forms:

WHERE u.deleted = 0 AND u.suspended = 0
WHERE u.deleted != 1 AND u.suspended != 1
WHERE u.deleted <> 1 AND u.suspended <> 1

To show active and suspended users, you can use:

WHERE u.deleted != 1

To show only suspended users, you can use:

WHERE u.suspended = 1

Get custom User profile fields for a user

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

This snippet of code shows how to connect a user with their custom profile field data. This will list all users with all custom profile fields and data. Custom profile fields have two tables, one for the definition of the profile field (user_info_field) and its settings, and a separate table to hold the data entered by users (user_info_data).

SELECT u.username, uif.name, uid.data
FROM prefix_user AS u
JOIN prefix_user_info_data AS uid ON uid.userid = u.id
JOIN prefix_user_info_field AS uif ON uid.fieldid = uif.id

If you want to limit it to one of those fields, you can restrict it by shortname of the custom profile field, so:

SELECT u.username, uif.name, uid.data
FROM prefix_user AS u
JOIN prefix_user_info_data AS uid ON uid.userid = u.id
JOIN prefix_user_info_field AS uif ON (uid.fieldid = uif.id AND uif.shortname = 'shortname1')

will show you only the data from the custom profile field with the shortname 'shortname1'.

If you want to do this with two or more custom profile fields, you will need to have a JOIN and table alias for each with a restriction for each profile field shortname. Example:

SELECT u.username, d1.data AS 'Profile One', d2.data As 'Profile Two'
FROM prefix_user u
JOIN prefix_user_info_data d1 ON d1.userid = u.id
JOIN prefix_user_info_field f1 ON d1.fieldid = f1.id AND f1.shortname = 'shortname1'
JOIN prefix_user_info_data d2 ON d2.userid = u.id
JOIN prefix_user_info_field f2 ON d2.fieldid = f2.id AND f2.shortname = 'shortname2'

Get custom User profile fields for a user Alternate (sub select) Method

If you have more than a couple of fields you need to use, then the query above using JOINs for all the custom fields may time out or not return data due to too many joins. The practical limit seems to be around 10 custom profile fields.

Instead you should use an alternate method which uses Subselects for each of the profile fields. Details and sample code are in this forum discussion: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=355502#p1434854. A sample of the style is:

SELECT u.username

,(SELECT d1.data FROM prefix_user_info_data d1
 JOIN prefix_user_info_field f1 ON d1.fieldid = f1.id AND f1.shortname = 'shortname1'
 WHERE d1.userid = u.id
) AS thefirstfield

,(SELECT d1.data FROM prefix_user_info_data d1
 JOIN prefix_user_info_field f1 ON d1.fieldid = f1.id AND f1.shortname = 'shortname2'
 WHERE d1.userid = u.id
) AS thesecondfield

FROM prefix_user u

Moodle Report Plugins Variables, Filters and Other Idiosyncracies

Shared variables

Both the plugins share this variable in common. Code that uses only these will run in both plugins without change:

• %%WWWROOT%% - this substitutes the base url for your Moodle site exactly as set in the config.php file
• %%USERID%% - this substitutes the user id (not idnumber!) of the current user running the report

Ad-hoc database queries plugin

AD variables

The following notes are taken directly from the documentation that shows up in each query right under the code edit box below the "Verify the SQL and update the form" button. Please carefully read the whole set of notes there if you think you are getting syntax or other error messages.

• The token %%WWWROOT%% in the results will be replaced with [the root of your site as set in config.php].
• The token %%USERID%% in the query will be replaced with the user id of the user viewing the report, before the report is executed.
• For scheduled reports, the tokens %%STARTTIME%% and %%ENDTIME%% are replaced by the Unix timestamp at the start and end of the reporting week/month in the query before it is executed.

Forbidden URL Parameters

Pay particular attention to this section if you are constructing URLS in your code that may use parameters!

• You cannot use the characters :, ; or ? in strings in your query. If you need them in output data (such as when outputting URLs), you can use the tokens %%C%%, %%S%% and %%Q%% respectively. If you need them in input data (such as in a regular expression or when querying for the characters), you will need to use a database function to get the characters and concatenate them yourself. In Postgres, respectively these are CHR(58), CHR(59) and CHR(63); in MySQL CHAR(58), CHAR(59) and CHAR(63).

Note that the question mark ? is often used as a url parameter in Moodle urls. Watch out for those. Please see the following forum post for more details and discussion on this: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=407295#p1648774

How AD Auto URL Linking Works

This plugin has its own method of creating links which avoids having to put any HTML in your SQL statement. Instead you designate two columns: one as the text and one as the link.

In the example below the column named "User" shows the username. The very next column is called "User_link_url" where this must be the same name as the column before but you add "_link_url" to the column name to tell the plugin this is how to build the url.

The user is the TEXT that you would normally build a link with: leave out all the HTML code, just put the link text. In the following example you will see it is a standard link to a user profile, where there are three variables: the root, a %%Q%% symbol that stands for ? and the user id. This will make a normal url of the form: https://example.com/user/profile.php?id=2 and so forth.

SELECT
u.username AS "User",
CONCAT("%%WWWROOT%%/user/profile.php%%Q%%id=", u.id) AS "User_link_url" 
FROM prefix_user u

Note that even though there are two columns defined in the SELECT statement, they are collapsed into one column by the plugin. The output of this sample will be a one column list of usernames, all linked to their user profile pages.

If you only want the full url to show up linkable, then use just the one column without designating the name, e.g.

SELECT
CONCAT("%%WWWROOT%%/user/profile.php%%Q%%id=", u.id) AS "User" 
FROM prefix_user u

The output of this query will be single column of full urls to the users profiles that are already linked.

Configurable Reports plugin

CR Variables

For fuller documentation and examples, please see the official Configurable Reports documentation page.

This is a list of the variables that you can use with the Configurable Reports plugin in your queries. Place the variable where you would the corresponding column. You will see numerous examples of these in the queries above.

• %%CATEGORYID%%
• %%COURSEID%%
• %%CURRENTUSER%%
• %%DEBUG%%
• %%FILTER_VAR%%
• %%STARTTIME%%
• %%ENDTIME%%
• %%USERID%%
• %%WWWROOT%%

For example, to run a report that shows the current user their own profile information, you can use the %%USERID%% variable in place of the user id:

SELECT username, firstname, lastname, email
FROM prefix_user
WHERE id = %%USERID%%

To add logic to any query run inside a course to limit it to the data just for that course, use the %%COURSEID%% variable:

SELECT shortname, fullname
FROM prefix_course
WHERE id = %%COURSEID%%

(Tip: if you run this outside of a course on the front page or dashboard, it will return the name of the site, which is technically course id = 1)

CR Filters

If you know how these work and have some code examples, feel free to share your knowledge here. Meanwhile, for fuller documentation and examples, please see the official Configurable Reports documentation page.

List of CR Filters

• %%FILTER_CATEGORIES:
• %%FILTER_COURSEMODULEID:
• %%FILTER_COURSEMODULEFIELDS:
• %%FILTER_COURSEMODULE:
• %%FILTER_COURSES:
• %%FILTER_COURSEENROLLEDSTUDENTS:
• %%FILTER_USERS:
• %%FILTER_ROLE:
• %%FILTER_SEARCHTEXT:
• %%FILTER_SEMESTER:
• %%FILTER_STARTTIME:
• %%FILTER_ENDTIME:
• %%FILTER_SUBCATEGORIES:
• %%FILTER_COURSEUSER:
• %%FILTER_SYSTEMUSER:
• %%FILTER_YEARHEBREW:
• %%FILTER_YEARNUMERIC:

CR Filters Location

Configurable Reports filters are part of the WHERE clause of your query. The CR code will take the filters it finds and then put in the proper syntax for the filters as it builds the query. Therefore, your filters have to be in the proper location as part of the WHERE clause, and so they must come before any other clauses that may follow such as GROUP BY, HAVING BY, or ORDER BY or others, in accordance with the SQL standards for syntax.

For example, the following is correct where the filters are after the WHERE clause and before any other clauses, in this case ORDER BY:

SELECT cat.name,
c.shortname,
c.fullname,
c.summary
FROM prefix_course c
JOIN prefix_course_categories cat
WHERE cat.id = 1
%%FILTER_SEARCHTEXT_S:c.summary:~%%
%%FILTER_COURSES:c.shortname%%
ORDER BY c.shortname

When this is run, it will be interpreted as:

WHERE cat.id =1 
AND {the text you have entered in the search box to find in the course summary}
AND {the course name you have chosen from the pull down menu}

What if you have no WHERE clause?

If your query doesn't have a WHERE clause, you MUST ADD a dummy WHERE clause in order to use the filters. A common form of which is just to use WHERE 1=1. For example, this is CORRECT:

WHERE 1=1
%%FILTER_SEARCHTEXT_S:c.summary:~%%
%%FILTER_COURSES:c.shortname%%
ORDER BY c.shortname

However, the following is INCORRECT and will not work: the query will appear to work but when you do anything with the filters, it will generate a SQL Error telling you there was a syntax error, because the "AND" comes immediately after the "JOIN" and that is a syntax error.

SELECT cat.name,
c.shortname,
c.fullname,
c.summary
FROM prefix_course c
JOIN prefix_course_categories cat
# ooops there's no WHERE statement here!
%%FILTER_SEARCHTEXT_S:c.summary:~%%
%%FILTER_COURSES:c.shortname%%
ORDER BY c.shortname

Moral of the story? IF you are using FILTERS you must always have a WHERE clause.

Using the Search Text filter

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

In the Configurable reports block for Moodle 3.11, CR version 3.9.0 (2020110390), there is a new way of naming the Search text filter. The goal of this new method is to allow you to now have more than one Search text filter for the same query, so that you can search more than one column from your report. The following shows how to do this.

In your code, you must add an identifier to your filter like this FILTER_SEARCHTEXT_ID1 where ID1 is just any arbitrary identifier you want. I usually just use _1 or _2 but you could use _username or to make it clearer just _U for username as a reminder.

Step 1: Add an ID to the end of the filter name %%FILTER_SEARCHTEXT_ID. The ID can be any one letter, number or word that you wish. Note that there must be an underscore!!. Also, the ID is case sensitive. For example:

SELECT
u.username,
u.firstname,
u.lastname
FROM prefix_user u
WHERE 1=1
%%FILTER_SEARCHTEXT_U:u.username:~%%

will let you search on the username field of your report. You could use _U or _u or _username or _1 or any indicator you want as long as it is not duplicated by any other SEARCHTEXT id you may add.

Step 2: In the filter tab for the ID, add ONLY the identifier part without the underscore line, so 1 or 2 or U or whatever you use. Do NOT use the whole filter starting with the %% or include the underscore, use only the ID itself. So, for this example, put the ID "U".

Adding Multiple Searches

This method allows you to have two filters to search with, so:

SELECT
u.username,
u.firstname,
u.lastname
FROM prefix_user u
WHERE 1=1
%%FILTER_SEARCHTEXT_U:u.username:~%%
%%FILTER_SEARCHTEXT_F:u.firstname:~%%

then you would add two filters in the Filters tab, one with an ID of U and the Second with the ID of F - and put Labels of "Username" and "Firstname" so that the user knows which is which.

Example Output with two Search Text filters:

Backwards compatibility

For backwards compatibility and filters without idnumber, this old method of matching without idnumber still works if you are only using a single searchtext filter in your query.

Using the Date Time Filters

Contributed by: Randy Thornton

In the Configurable Reports block, you can set the Time and Date filter to allow you to pick your report Start date/time and End date/time interactively. This will work on any column in a table that is a timestamp.

Here is a simple example:

SELECT u.username,
DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(u.firstaccess),'%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') AS 'FirstAccess',
DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(u.lastaccess),'%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') AS 'LastAccess'
FROM prefix_user u

WHERE 1=1
%%FILTER_STARTTIME:u.firstaccess:>%%
%%FILTER_ENDTIME:u.lastaccess:<%%

1) You will need to replace name of the table and column for the filter to use the time and date column you need for your query. In the example above, it filters on the firstaccess and lastaccess columns in the user table. If you were doing a report on course completion, you might put the timecompleted column, and so forth.

2) You MUST then add the Start / End date filter on the Filters tab of the Report. If you don't, the report will still run, probably, but the filter will be ignored.

Note: the WHERE 1=1 statement is a peculiarity of the filters in Config reports: if you don't have a WHERE statement in your query already, then you must add this dummy WHERE to keep the statement valid. If you already have a WHERE statement in your code, simply add the %%FILTER%% placeholders after it (and before any GROUP or ORDER BY statements.)

CR Security setting and "Not Allowed Words" message

The CR plugin has two security modes, high and low.

In plugin versions 3.8 and below, this is controlled by the setting in Site administration > Plugins > Blocks > Configurable Reports > SQL Security. The default is On, which is the high security mode. Unchecking this will enable low security mode.

In plugin version 3.9 and above (released November 2020), you must also set a variable in your config.php file as follows for this feature to work, as per the documentation:

Starting this version for allowing SQL queries performing data insertion/creation the following configuration variable set to 1 is required in your site root /config.php:

$CFG->block_configurable_reports_enable_sql_execution = 1;

Otherwise, previous Custom SQL reports performing data insertion/creation will stop working.

In high security mode, the plugin blocks the following SQL keywords:

ALTER | CREATE | DELETE | DROP | GRANT | INSERT | INTO | TRUNCATE | UPDATE | SET | VACUUM | REINDEX | DISCARD | LOCK

If your code uses any of these keywords, you will receive a "Not allowed words" error message when trying to run the query.

In low security mode, the plugin will allow the keywords INSERT | INTO | CREATE but will continue to block those other keywords. This means that low security mode will allow you to CREATE new tables, including temporary ones, and insert data into them, but it will not allow you to use UPDATE to alter current table data.

For more, see the code in /components/customsql/form.php around lines 80.

Useful Constants

Role id numbers

The standard default roles as installed have the id numbers as follows:

• 1 Manager
• 2 Course creator
• 3 Editing Teacher
• 4 Non-editing Teacher
• 5 Student
• 6 Guest
• 7 Authenticated user
• 8 Authenticated user on the frontpage

You can see all your roles with the simple query:

SELECT * FROM prefix_role

Context level ids

These are the constants used in the context levels in the context table and elsewhere.

• SYSTEM = 10
• PERSONAL = 20
• USER = 30
• COURSECAT = 40
• COURSE = 50
• GROUP = 60
• MODULE = 70
• BLOCK = 80

The following snippet can be helpful (assuming an alias of ctx for the context table):

CASE ctx.contextlevel 
  WHEN 10 THEN 'System'
  WHEN 20 THEN 'Personal'
  WHEN 30 THEN 'User'
  WHEN 40 THEN 'Course_Category'
  WHEN 50 THEN 'Course'
  WHEN 60 THEN 'Group'
  WHEN 70 THEN 'Activity_Module'
  WHEN 80 THEN 'Block'
 ELSE CONCAT('Unknown context: ',ctx.contextlevel)
END AS "Context_level"

Constants for permission levels

Constants for permissions are:

• 1 = Allow
• -1 = Prevent
• -1000 = Prohibit

"Not set" is NULL and will have no table entry in the role definition.

Constants for Course Restores

Constants that tell you what type of restore was being done. These are used in the logs in the 'Other' field for the 'target' parameter.

• TARGET_CURRENT_DELETING = 0
• TARGET_CURRENT_ADDING = 1
• TARGET_NEW_COURSE = 2
• TARGET_EXISTING_DELETING = 3
• TARGET_EXISTING_ADDING = 4

So, a standard restore of a new course from backup is 2. ADDING is what is called in the Moodle interface as a "merge". DELETING is overwriting the current or another existing course with the backup.

Logs origin

Meaning of the strings in the origin field in the standard logs:

• cli - command line interface, including scheduled tasks and cron events
• restore - an event done during a course restore
• web - normal events by users in the web interface
• ws - web services calls, including those from the mobile app
