Changing the way the mark book is presented on the Parents page

Hello @Admin @Skuipers

I am trying to present markbook results on the parent pages and student pages in a different table structure

i have identified

  1. echodiv$StyleAttainment"$rowEntryattainmentValue" as being responsible for the markbook grade printout

  2. " renderStudentCumulativeMarks" in the markbookfunctionsphp in the markbook module as the function call for computing the cumulative average

Please can you point me in the right direction ?
Especially as

  1. to printing out data from the database
  2. Acessing this data for graphs and charts

i am hoping to contribute the resulting code back to the development program if it might be a useful if infinitesimal contribution .
P.s i know i am not worthy to lace your coding boots .lol!

Hi Thomascrown,

It is indeed a busy time of year :sweat_smile:

Which page are you changing? It may help to create this kind of change as a new page (or even a custom Module for your school) rather than modifying the original page.

Is the aim to create a report-style view for parents? In your example screenshot, do Test and Exam rows match up with weightings that have been setup for each course, or assignments? The cumulative averages are live-calculated for each course and student, so often for reporting and graphing purposes you’d need to finalize them in some way, likely by copying them to another table and adding a timestamp. In our school this is done at the end of a reporting term, so that any changes to the markbook after that point in time won’t affect the recorded term grade for that student. Are you aiming for something similar?

P.s i know i am not worthy to lace your coding boots .lol!
No worries, any skill-level is welcome! The changes you're looking to make will certainly be challenging, but hopefully we can help point you in the right direction.

I am Sorry for the delay .

In reply to your questions,

  1. I was considering " changing the " markbookt_view_details.php" file
  2. Yes the the aim to create a report-style view for parents.
  3. Yes the weightings match up with the test and exam rows
  4. Yes i am aiming for something similar to your end of term report viewable by parents when they login

Thank you
