Bug: Planner time slots stop auto-filling about core HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi @fvlasie, sure, I can see the utility value of that change. I've updated it for v25 to look for the most recent lesson and suggest the date for the next lesson in sequence, falling back to the current date if the lesson planner is empty. You can see and test out the change here: 402b742

Hi @fvlasie. I'm not very familiar with the actual operation of Gibbon. I tried to follow your steps. But I have trouble following the steps.

1. I installed locally with demo data. Then I manually created the course and class to test with.

2. Then I go to "Learn" > "Planner" in the top menu.
   

3. Problem: There is no place to "Choose a class".
   

4. I proceed to create a new Lesson Plan by clicking on the "New" button on top.
   

5. After creating a new Lesson Plan, I'm staying on the same page without anything filled in. Is this the problematic behaviour you mentioned?

Choose a class is the menu on the left:

You have to have a class that is tied to the timetable. This requires quite a bit of setup so I recommend using the demo data.

Hi FV, I've checked out the code and it looks like this is by design. It will look up to ten lessons into the future to check for upcoming dates when you click the add button, all based on the current date. Checking every possible lesson would add quite the overhead to this script. This check will happen if you click "Add" from the planner, and I suspect is helpful for planning upcoming lessons and ad-hoc planning.

If teachers are planning a whole year or whole unit in advance, the Year Overview link from the Planner is more helpful, as it shows all upcoming lessons at a glance, and there is a plus button to add a lesson for that date. Teachers can also access the Add button from their timetable, which is a nice visual way to see and add lesson plans.

Could it look ten lessons into the future from the current lesson position so the calculation is still limited but moves forward with the user? (I have had complaints about this from other users too.)

Thank you Sandra!
