Development talk:Activity Locking

From MoodleDocs

Purpose of page

I think others have an idea, but some of us are confused about what is what. I am going through the condiditional activity forum to track what has been posted. I started with the summary of Alvin Shaffer - Wednesday, 21 June 2006, 08:18 AM as the outline. Comments placed here are out of context and were made by others in the forum threads listed below. I would like to see the link to the best versions 1.5.3 and 1.6 versions of AL placed on the article page.--Chris collman 2 19:13, 23 June 2006 (WST)

AL 3.0 is conditional based vs AL 2.1 being more straight forward AL based.

Forum Threads

These threads link to the Conditional Activity forum.

Releases

There seem to be several flavors of AL. v1 and v2 seemed to be started by Stuart Mayer. Then Stuart and David Delgado worked independently on v3. There are v2 and v3 for 1.5 and for 1.6.

AL v2.1(stuart) - released by Stuart on Dec. 1, 2005 - Not a lot of success by forum (not sure if this version is based on pure AL or conditionals)

  • zip
  • zip 1 December 2005, 10:28 AM activitylocking20051201.zip AL v2.1-M1.6

AL v2.1(john)- released by Jon on June 1, 2006 - Modified 2.1 with hides for ver 1.6. Non Block installed based AL , must hack database , etc. Not sure a list of feature differences to V2.1(stuart)


AL v2.1(benard) - released by Bernard on June 21st, 2006. A hack of the Block installer based AL (2.1). So far in testing this version seams to work in 1.6, just not sure what features from Johns Hack are not included (as Chardelle alluded to). Locking seems to work, but setting activity prerequisites to "no" still shows them. Does not allow you to lock entire topics. AL v2.1-M1.6

AL v2.1 for 1.6(chardelle) - link posted by Chardelle on 25 June 2006, 03:35 PM. This flavor has a hide future activity function and seems to be functioning on some Moodles but is being tweaked for others. See forum discussion: Certificate 1.6 with Security discussion in Activity Module forum.The link for the external website is: AL v2.1 for 1.6(chardelle).

AL v2.1 wH1.6 titled Re: Certificate for 1.6 with security in Activity Modules forum

AL v3.0(stuart) - Modified files to try to hack AL ver 3.0 for 1.6 released by Chardelle on June 15th, 2006 - (Stuart released Ver 3.0 AL for 1.5.X code) not a working version due to the quiz module changes and other issues (hopefully stuart is working on a 1.6 version)

Future of Conditional Activities

Let's use this to brainstorm additional features of conditional activities we would like to see as well.--N Hansen 20:18, 25 June 2006 (WST)

One feature that is missing is related to choice module. Making a lock dependent on a choice module instance only makes it so that the student has to view the choice, not actually make a choice. It seems that answering the choice should be required.
