[Closed] Parents can't see their child's grades

Hello,
I am not sure how to set the parent function to view child's grades.

I have setup this on Moodle website and works great ( docs.moodle.org/20/en/Parent_role )

But when I login to Joomla as parent, I can't see the grades of the child.
I have selected to auto-enroll parent into child's courses.

But I am not sure about the role ID. I created the parent user in Moodle and not in Joomla and it doesn't work. I have then created another user in Joomla and repeated the process to assign parent role but with the same result.

How can I make this work? Thank you for your answers.

Hi.

At this point, Joomdle has no views for parents, so it won't show children grades, or any other children info.

It can show the list of children, linking to Moodle. There you should be able to see the grades, if you set up the parent role for that.

You must create the parent role in moodle as per the instructions in the link you have.
Then, take note of the ID of the new role, and put it in joomdle config in moodle.

Then, when you create a new user trough "register children" view in joomdle (logged as the parent), it should show up in the mentees module, and be associated with the parent account.

ok, thanks for the answer. However when I create a menu item with children registration I get a 403 - Access forbidden error.

I am logged in as a parent who was created via Moodle.

When I log in as a parent who was created in Joomla, I can see the mentees block with the student and it works but when I want to register children i still get the 403 error.

My fault. I forgot children registration is not yet working in 1.6.
There was no rush, as this was only to be used with the shop (so parents buy courses for children) and there is yet no shop component ready for J1.6.

So, forget about children reg for now(will try to fix it for next release).
The only funcionality you may use now would be the mentees module.
You will need to add the parent role to parents users in moodle manually for now.

ok, no problem.

the mentees module is working ok, so the parents can see their children's profiles and grades.

But for the future, are you planning to integrate the function that parents can see their children's grades? Possibly with the help of the PHP code which displays the current user's grades.

Logically speaking all to do is to tell Joomdle that this specific guy can see this specific child and the grades and info.

Sounds easy but I can imagine it is not. I was poking around the code quite a lot so maybe I could make it work.

What is your basic idea of making something like this? What should be edited?

Formaking that happen you would need, either:

a) Create a new view, childrengrades, which shows grades for all children

b) Modify mygrades view, so that it also shows children grades, if the user has children associated

The 2 options would also require to create a new web service in Moodle to return that info.

I think I like more a)

As for Joomdle plannings on these: there were none, but I will move this thread to Feature Requests, so it is there for when I have some time

ok, I like option a) as well, it makes more sense and It can be very easily integrated with Joomla options to show specific content to specific user.

I will look into it tomorrow and if I am able to make some progress I will update the thread at feature request. Thanks.
