Cannot create Attendance in Moodle as there is no such Activity - moodle

I'm trying to apply face recognition for attendance in moodle for senior project. I've created a course in my Moodle, but I cannot add attendance activity as it just doesn't exist in the activity list. Activity list looks like this. From search results seems like very strange (and new?)bug.
Github issues doesn't seem to be checked by anyone regularly, so I'm asking here
https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-mod_attendance/issues/465

The attendance module isn't part of the default Moodle code.
You will need to download and install it.

Azure DevOps Migration - Moving Project to Another Org

I'm looking to migrate a project from one org to another in Azure DevOps. We've ended up with two or three orgs, and this project that I'm looking to move has all sorts of weird and wonderful work items created and custom fields added. What I'm looking to do is move the project and then see if I can persuade the powers that be that certain things can be dropped but I have an immediate need to move as-is so that reporting and other work isn't impacted.
I have tried to get this to work with the migration tools (and tried to follow the videos) but have hit a dead-end. I think there are two issues potentially. One being the ReflectedWorkItemId. It says that it's not found in User Stories but I'm not sure how to resolve this? Do I go into user stories and add a field called 'ReflectedWorkItemId' and populate it with the work item number and/or add the same field in the destination org process?
It also mentions in the info that it can't find one of the Work Item Types - Processes. There are a few other custom work item types that have been created too but I assume it's given up on the first one. Do I have to create all of the work item types and the custom fields for each work item type in the destination org? Or am I getting the wrong end of the stick with this?
To provide sync as well as migration it is important that the tools knows which items have already been migrated. This is the purpose of the ReflectedWorkItemId field.
The field is not required in either case, however... if you don't have
the field then the system cant be re-run as it will re-copy all
completed work items. If you add the field to the target then it will
only copy those items it cant find. If you add the field to the source
(yes it needs to be the same refname), and set UpdateSoureReflectedId
to true then you can also filter the source, using a query and limit
what you load.
The former prevents duplicates, and the latter allows you to filter
the data load...
This is mentioned in this document. Here is a similar issue you can refer to.
TF201077 that usually happens when the target Project does not have a work item of that name. You can refer to this issue on github for help.

How to create a list of users on in Alfresco Activiti?

so I have this simple question that I would love to get anwserd.
I am new to BPM an Alfresco Activiti and I am workng on with the trial version of Alfresco Activiti to create a sample project for our company.
I decided to work with the Step editor to se what it can do and if it's as powerfull as a normal BPMN 2.0 editor.
Now I am working on a form where one user would need to select the user for the next task. I was wondering if it's possible to use the single select component to display all the users on the server from which the asignee for the next task could be selected. How can this be done?
I know it is not the bes pracitce to show all the users on the server but this is a test project and your help would be really appreciated.
If any more info is required I will gladly edit the post.
Thnak you.
There is a user picker form control in there, that allows searching the whole system. See the third entry:
you can create a dropdown whose options are populated from a rest call which is provided below.
GET api/enterprise/admin/users
This will return list of all users available in JSON format.
Hope it helped.

Some doubts related to the backend users in Typo3 6.1.1

I am pretty new in Typo3 (I came from Joomla and WordPress) and reading the documentation I have some doubts related to the user manage the user in this CMS:
I am using Typo3 6.1.1 and reading here it seems to me that the user managment is quite different (maybe the documentation is related to an old version of the CMS?): http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/GettingStartedTutorial/EditAndCreatePagesAndContent/CreateUsersGroups/Index.html
In particular I am not understanding if in the 6.1.1 the backend user can ben divided in groups or if they simply are backend user because if I go into: ADMIN TOOLS ---> Backend User I can see the backend user but not the groups, why?
Tnx
Andrea
As you can see in mentioned doc, BE users can be divided by groups and easiest way for creating BE groups and next BE users is using WEB > List module.
Just using workflow showed at screen of this section you need to create records of both types (blue arrows) on the highest page (with id 0 - on screenshot it's called New TYPO3 site)
I'm not quite sure about the reason, but Backend User module doesn't allow to manage BE groups directly, however there's a tip (which is general for whole TYPO3) - you can create a BE group ad hoc - during the process of creating BE user by using additional icons in the form, take a look to screenshot below, the yellow pencil and black plus allows you to edit/create related records without canceling current edition.

typo3 - building a simple functionality

I am building a fairly simple website based on typo3. I'm new to the CMS but I've read almost everything I could find about it - tutorials, wikis, documentation. I'm stuck with designing a functionality for the administrator to be able to create records with predefined attributes (category, date, info, image, ...) and those records to be listed in a table on the front end with a "View detailed" link on each row. Will I need to develop a complete extension for this? From where the administrator will enter these records? How can I iterate them on the front end?
I apologize in advance if my question is too broad.
The Kickstarter extension provides a full stop solution for your needs. There is a good set of, if slightly outdated, screencasts explaining how to use this extension to create your custom record types and associated front-end views.

Joomla1.5 CRUD extension tutorial

I need to build a basic CRUD joomla extension for a customer.
On the user's side, it must display a product list when the user choose a category, and the product details when an item is selected in the list. On the product details page, the user can send a message to the site's owner regarding the chosen product.
On the admin side, user must be able to add/modify/delete products and categories. That's about it.
Does anybody knows (a) good tutorial(s) that could help me get started with this project?
I've worked with php 4 years ago and have 5+ years experience in web development (.net), but i'm new to joomla.
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like to me you are looking for an e-commerce extension with a catalog mode (no purchases/no cart enabled) and an Ask a Question form on product pages. I know that at least Virtuemart has this ability exactly. I am sure there are other simpler carts that will also accommodate your need. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/e-commerce/shopping-cart
Spend a couple of hours trying out carts, no code writing required.
A great place to start is the Joomla docs site.
Checkout Component Development section.
Also, here is MVC Component Tutorial (there are 6 section to it, look for links at the bottom for "Next"), it will definitely put you on the right track. You will have to add a lot of your project specific things and do out of the box things, but it should be pretty easy.
Just keep things separate to make it easier
View/Template - your presentation
Controller - logic
Model - Data Access Layer (DAL)
