Unclear Days available
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I have "Days available" set to 7 days in a course with Topics format. What does it actually mean? Since when are those 7 days counted? It would be nice to have a help icon next to the setting that summarises this custom setting (I know the plugin description describes it, but many teachers will never visit the plugin's page in the Directory).
Actually, I myself just learned two weeks ago how that works...it is based on the same way Journal does it, and Journal never had a help icon, either. Unless the Journal or Diary, is in a course set to weekly format, those days don't do anything. If you add either one to a weekly formatted course, and set it to any number of days, the activity is enabled starting with the first day in that week. For example, with it set to 7 days, it will work from Monday through Sunday. If you set it to one, it would only be open on Monday.
I will add a help icon to try and explain it. I do have an explanation in the documentation, under Activity Setup > Availability, at https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Diary.
I've added the help icons for Days available, Open time, and Close time. The changes will be in github, shortly.
Help icons were added to v1.6.0.
