This plugin adds a new block type for Moodle. Its aim is to give the teachers and staff a simple tool to view how many students didn't visit a course for a long time and so, try to reduce student's leaving.
The block is customizable :
- block's title
- choose which roles you want to track
- choose which roles will be able to see the block
- set the number of days from last connection required to track users

Hi Pierre. Thanks for submitting the plugin here. Before we proceed to reviewing the code, please pay attention to all the reported "Plugin check results" above and fix at least those marked as "recommended". Thanks.

Thanks again Pierre for sharing the block. I like the idea of it and many teachers will find such overview tool really useful. However, there are several implementation-related issues that do not allow me to approve the plugin as-is at the moment. I reported details into your tracker and I am marking the plugin as needing more work for now. Thanks for you patience with the review and approval process.
Hi Pierre. Thanks, things look much better now indeed. I was just surprised by actual UI strings - please see details in the tracker.
Note that it would help to refer to individual reported issues in the commit messages (so that it can be seen how the thing was fixed) and eventually close the issues. You may want to be interested in Github specific support for it via https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-messages/ (although simply mentioning the issue #number in the commit message helps too).
You are cleared to land now, welcome to the Plugins directory!
I'm maybe confusing things for the UI strings. I try to improve it.
Will there come also a version for Moodle 3.1?
The plugin works on Moodle 3.1. You can actually pick it and install it on your platform.
I will test it when version 3.2 stable will be released.
I am wondering if I am missing something. Instructor role can not see the block. Thanks
I'm pretty sure this comes from the fact that the plugin is based on users capacities to be visible or not.
I guess "instructor" is a custom role that does not has "manageactivities" capacity on your Moodle instance.
I'm gonna try to make it possible !
I released a new version of the plugin that adds the ability to choose the roles able to see the block's results in the block configuration page.
Hope it solves your problem !
Thanks for your quick reply. I will install the new version and let you know.
