When I've added the noticeboard format to my 2.1.1 installation I get the following error when running cron
<b>Fatal error</b>: Cannot redeclare callback_nb_uses_sections() (previously declared in /home/dcullen7/public_html/testnhs/course/format/nb/lib.php:33) in <b>/home/dcullen7/public_html/testnhs/course/format/nbact/lib.php</b>
I really hope that this can be fixed since the Noticeboard is poerfect for my use.
mmm Lots of plugins were developed for v1.9.x that have not been updated for v2. In most cases the original developer has moved on and is no longer involved in a Moodle so has not maintained their plugin. It is unlikely that this group of plugins will be upgraded to be usable in v2 unless someone with a little coding experience takes it up and revamps it to suit the Moodle 2 environment. There are a group of plugins that are listed in Moodle Tracker that people would like to be upgraded and some are in the process of being done, buit it might be a while before they are ready.
Right now, there is a plugin that might be useful for you, the Meta-Activities-Noticeboard that might help you out.
Hi,
I fixed all this in my version of Noticeboard. It's a simple typo...perhaps due to the original author not being familiar with Moodle 2.x.x notation.
I've attached a zip file containing the updated "nb" folder.
You will need to replace the old version of your "Noticboard" folder with this new one.
Once in place i would recommend that you go to Site Administration > Development > Purge all caches
This will get rid of all the old cache associated with the old version.
Refresh your screen with Ctrl + F5 and you will hopefully have no more Error messages accociated with the Noticeboard now.
Hope this helps.

I love the way that problems get solved here
Thanks
Hi Doug,
Let me know if you are still experiencing problems as the other group of Noticboard type formats by Marty are all faulty to some degree. I've fixed those too so if you want the others just let me know and I'll zip them up for you and attach them here for you.
Cheers
Mary
Hi Mary!
I would love some course formats, I'm looking for something specifeic we talked about it before, I need one that sends the students to their assigned course.
By the way, how do I install the Noticeboard?
Thank you!
Anybody having luck with Noticeboard format in 2.3? Very broken for me - just an empty page... the course effectively "disappears".
I assume it's something to do with API changes.
I've tried both the original 2.0 one from the MAN formats download, and Mary's updated version.
Dear Ross,
Thank you. Looking at the code it does not look too difficult. Just the latest post of the news forum followed by topics as per normal. Is this what you want for Moodle 2.3? If so I could knock up an 'alpha' version in about 2-3 hours (code + test).
Cheers,
Gareth
