Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: mygroupid() can not be used any more, please use groups_get_all_groups() instead.
I am getting this error upon entering a course after upgrading to the most current Moodle. I understand the message is telling me a method has been depreciated but I don't know how to go about fixing it. Any ideas.
Upgraded from what version to 2.9.1?
In the lib/ directory of a 2.9.1 code folder there is an upgrade.txt file that has a section
DEPRECATIONS:
Various previously deprecated functions have now been altered to throw DEBUG_DEVELOPER debugging notices and will be removed in a future release (target: 2.8), a summary follows:
In Misc:
* filter_text() -> format_text(), format_string()...
* httpsrequired() -> $PAGE->https_required()
* detect_munged_arguments() -> clean_param([...], PARAM_FILE)
* mygroupid() -> groups_get_all_groups()
You might have fallen victum to hyperjumping. :\
Do you have any *addon* plugin in the old system (the one you upgraded from) that related to 'mygroup' or groups?

Well that's a good question. I think it was some iteration of 2.6.
And that is my question too....how to tell what old plugin lol.
It looks to me like mygroupid() only appears in a depreciated library
and throws and error right there...but it's never called from anywhere
else. I searched the code the function only exists in the one spot and
throws an exception. I commented out the entire function and I can
enter the course. I guess I don't understand if the function is never
called why did the exception fire?
You could also switch Debugging right up to developer and reproduce the error again. That will give you a trace of it being called.
My bet is that you have a plugin that calls get_current_group. This is also in deprecatedlib.php but does not throw a warning. BUT... it does call mygroupid() which (as you found out) does.
So, either find what called get_current_group() or do the trace.
I have a feeling that I submitted a bug about this...
EDIT:
I submitted one very similar, not this. However, I have now - MDL-50818
Phew . . . just upgraded from 2.81 to 2.91 and was presented with the same ("Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: mygroupid() can not be used any more, please use groups_get_all_groups() instead.") error message. Turned on debugging and among there was reference being made to a plugin . . . deleted the plugin and now all is well . . . thanks!
I am also getting this error after upgrading to 2.9.1.
@ Ed: Can you tell me which pluggin you removed?
Thanks,
I had to turn on debugging for developers before I found the pluggin name that was giving me problems. It happened to be the FN marking block. Once I removed that my problem went away.
