4.3
See our Moodle Workplace 4.3 new features page in the user documentation for an introduction to Moodle Workplace 4.3 with screenshots.
Major features
Moodle Workplace 4.3 is based on top of Moodle LMS 4.3 and has all the new features of the core version. In addition, it contains all exclusive features from Moodle Workplace:
4.2.1
Moodle Workplace 4.2.1 is based on top of Moodle LMS 4.2.1 and has all the new features of the core version. In addition, it contains all exclusive features from Moodle Workplace. This is a very short release as we launched 4.2 two weeks ago, so it does only include a couple of minor bug fixes.
Interesting features and fixes
- Fixed a bug where the 'reset program' option was incorrectly displayed for dynamic allocation
- Fixed a bug during the installation process that caused blocks in the dashboard to be copied multiple times under certain circumstances.
- Fixed a bug in tenant archiving that was granting tenant administration permissions from the default tenant to the tenant administrator of the archived tenant
4.2.2
Moodle Workplace 4.2.2 is based on top of Moodle LMS 4.2.2 and has all the new features of the core version. In addition, it contains all exclusive features from Moodle Workplace.
Highlights
- We added some changes to the "Workplace" theme that allow to create child themes easier. We have released an example "Workplace child theme"
- Moved "Information" tab to the second position on the course page
- Changed report data source "Issued certificates" removing a very strict capability check. Now it is possible to create reports such as "My certificates" or "My team's certificates" that can be accessed by users who can not view the templates list.
- Upgrade notes: To prevent accidental disclosure of new data to people who already have reports using the "Issued certificates" datasource, we have added a new condition that mimics the previous hardcoded restriction. This condition (called "Permission to access templates") is automatically added during upgrade to all existing reports from this datasource. It can be removed if necessary. This condition will not be automatically added to the newly created reports but can be added manually if needed.
Other fixes
- Fixed a bug causing program reset ad-hoc task to fail
- Fixed a bug insufficiently resetting course module views during program reset
- Fixed a bug causing failures during organisation structure export
- Improved Dynamic rules, allowing some actions to be executed as scheduled tasks only. Changed actions "Assign to learning plans" and respective "Unassign" action to use this functionality, because they can fail if they are executed in a session of a student
- Changed workplace activity icons to look more consistent with the LMS activity icons (white instead of black)
- Bug fixes and improvements in how some tenant configuration data is being sent to the mobile app (among other things, this makes sure that the site name in the user information page is correct and corresponds to the current tenant).
- Added validation to the tenant branding "Custom SCSS" field to prevent accidental breaking of the whole site layout
- Added column "Session date & time" to Appointments datasources that was present in legacy report builder in 3.11 but was forgotten in 4.0+ report builder
This version also contains a fix for a security issue in Moodle Workplace, the details will be communicated to the Moodle Partners on the day of release and disclosed here later.
