Good day to you all. Has anyone used the "On the Job" plugin (seen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-GatbCdqWY), originally developed by Catalyst, in Totara V14 or V15. It basically allows Managers to digitally sign off training that has been taken offline.

We have it working beautifully in various V12 systems, but are looking for any other potential users who may be using it in a newer version of Totara Learn before upgrading ours.

If anyone can help, it would be hugely appreciated.

Hi Lee

Thanks for posting. I've not seen this plugin before. 

We have some user cases that this would be useful for

Any idea if there is a cost and how we where we could download it to trial?


Thanks

Paul

As far as I know there isn't a cost, and it was developed by www.catalyst.net.nz 

We've used it extensively in V12 Totara, and it is really very useful indeed. Happy to help if you need assistance using it.

I think you should be able to download it from here - https://github.com/catalyst/totara-mod-ojt

Good luck, we are happy to help if you need it (not with the download, but with how we use it for our Totara clients).

Thanks so much for responding. What version of Totara do you use it with? We have used the plug in with V12, but were wondering if it was compatibly with V15?

Hi Lee, 

I am new to OJTs. We used them extensively in Totara 12. 

Now in Totara 15, I am trying to create a new one, but I can't see the button to Add or Edit topics.


Not sure if the plugin is broken or I am missing something.

Good day to you.

I can confirm the OJT definitely works brilliantly in Totara V16 (I'm not sure whether we have a V15 Site running it, I have asked Technical), and the Edit Topics button is there (see screenshot below). I wonder whether it is worth uninstalling and reinstalling the OJT plugin to see if that works. Failing that there are different versions of the Plugin available for download on Github. From what I can see on the Site I took the screenshot from, we are using v1.0 2022052600.

Thanks for taking the time to explain and share with me. 

I am glad that the change in versions has not affected you ability to use the plugin. 

We will look into getting it to run as expected.

No problems at all. If you can't get it working after reinstalling, we are happy to help further if you need it.

Have you tried pulling OJT data into reports @Lee? I'm not sure if it is possible to report on this granular detail Totara Learn Open Discussions - OJT reporting on topic items
