fyi, some minutes ago I've sent to contrib one simple block that enables searching over all the books in a course, providing links to the matching chapters.
You can find it here: http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=2627
Enjoy and ciao
To repair norecordsfound with square brackets the following line of ‘search_books.php’
print_simple_box(get_string("norecordsfound","block_search_glossaries"),'CENTER');
should be exchanged by
print_simple_box(get_string("norecordsfound","block_search_books"),'CENTER');
Does this plugin work with Moodle 2.1? I've placed the search_books folder inside blocks, but when I click Notifications, it doesn't register that it is there, and the search books block isn't available.
Hi,
you can find one preliminary working version of the block @ https://github.com/stronk7/moodle-block_search_books
(just pick the desired branch and click in the download button)
Note it's not polished nor following all 2.x standards at all but basically works as it did in 1.x, with all its features and limitations.
Once it gets finished, will be added to the new Plugins database. In the mean time you can report any bug / idea in the Tracker.
Hope it helps, ciao
Thank you! Works absolutely perfectly!
Hello,
What are the news of this plugin that does not seem to be in the official plugin database ?
Thanks in advance,
Zabelle
I installed the moodle_21_stable branch in Moodle 2.8.5 yesterday for testing on our dev server; it worked just fine and I didn't notice any errors thrown.
The only thing I needed to do was add in an extra course format to the array in block_search_books.php as we have some different course formats.
Thank you.
I will also have a try.
