Hi,

I just migrated to 3.4.2+ and I am getting this error on my courses which use the Collapsed Topics plugin (Top Colls - https://moodle.org/plugins/format_topcoll)

Exception - Call to undefined method format_topcoll::get_last_section_number()


Debug info: 
Error code: generalexceptionmessage
Stack trace:
  • line 1067 of /course/format/topcoll/renderer.php: Error thrown
  • line 101 of /course/format/topcoll/format.php: call to format_topcoll_renderer->set_user_preference()
  • line 280 of /course/view.php: call to require()

I have tried to uninstall plugin and re-install from the latest version - keep getting this error. Any help / suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

I had a quick look. That function - get_last_section_number() is defined in course/format/lib.php round about line 280 in the format_base class.

It's hard to see why it wouldn't work. It's worth checking that lib.php file I suppose.

Hi Howard,

I uploaded the lib.php from a clean moodle download, and tada! the problem is solved!

Ok, but, if that file was corrupt/incorrect... how do you know that other files aren't?

Sho, I guess I don't know. I'll just have to see if I get any further errors.

Personally, I would replace the complete Moodle code base with a new download.

Make sure you are installing the version compat with 3.4.x

https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=format_topcoll

When one first hits the plugin page, appears the link to download is for 3.3 ... not your 3.4.x. which is: 3.4.0.1 (2017110300)
