How Do I Get The Link In The Gradebook List To Directly Go To The Users Blog
Charles Kelly's Moodle Things

What I wanted to do

• Get a way teachers can more easily check each student's blogs. In our English courses, blogging is part of the grade.
• So, I put a link directly to each student's blog from the "gradebook."

What This "Tweak" Does

It puts a link "Blog" in front of the students name on the far right of the "grades."

File to Edit

/grade/lib.php

What to Change

Near line 2107, (It looks something like this in Moodle 1.8+)

if (has_capability('moodle/course:viewcoursegrades', $context)) {
 if ($view_by_student != -1) {
$studentviewlink = '<a href="'.$CFG->wwwroot.'/user/view.php?id='.$student.'&amp;course='.$course->id.'">'.$grades_by_student[$student]['student_data']['lastname'].', '.$grades_by_student[$student]['student_data']['firstname'].'</a>';
 }
 else {
$studentviewlink = '<a href="?id='.$course->id.'&amp;action=view_student_grades&amp;user='.$student.'">'.$grades_by_student[$student]['student_data']['lastname'].', '.$grades_by_student[$student]['student_data']['firstname'].'</a>';
 }

....add this....

$blog_link = '<a target="ck" href="'.$CFG->wwwroot.'/blog/index.php?userid='.$student.'&amp;course=61">Blog</a>'; //CK070704

... I also changed the following line, just for appearance sake, to ...

$row .= '<td scope="row">'. $studentviewlink .'</td>'; //CK070704

Near line 2277, if (has_capability('moodle/course:viewcoursegrades', $context)) {

...comment out the next line (I used //CK to comment out the line.) Then add the line which follows it.

 //CK $row .= '<td>'. $studentviewlink .'</td></tr>';
 $row .= '<td>'. $blog_link .' - '. $studentviewlink .'</td></tr>'; // CK 070704

How do I also add in a link to the "all blogs" for each student?

Near line 2107, Just under the line with $blog_link, add this line.

$all_longs_link = '<a target="ck" href="'.$CFG->wwwroot.'/course/user.php?user='.$student.'&amp;id='.$course->id.'&mode=alllogs">Logs</a>'; //CK070717

Near line 2277, Instead of the line in the above section, use this one.

$row .= '<td>'. $blog_link.' - '.$all_longs_link.' - '. $studentviewlink .'</td></tr>'; // CK 070704
