Looks like that plugin isn't supported on 3.5 or 3.6:
https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=mod_hsuforum
If you enable debugging mode you may see errors on the page, or in the web server's error logs. I ran across this with another plugin and we just need to wait for the developer to update it.
According to:
https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=mod_hsuforum
plugin shows compatibility up to 3.4.
Might contact the plugin programmers to see when/if an update available.
To help trouble shoot, if one turns on debugging, do you get any info?

Hi Mikey,
Have you tried the master branch from github? The version listed in it is 3.5.2, so you might have better luck with it.
Hi Al,
How would I go about installing this on my site from github?
Best,
Mikey
Hi Mikey,
When you go to the Moodle down load page for the plugin, click the link to go to the source code, which will take you to github for the plugin. Once there make sure you are looking at the master branch in the dropdown list to the left. Over to the right, click the link to download a zip file. Once the download completes, in your 3.6 Moodle, go Site administration, Plugins, Install plugins. Drag the zip file to file upload box and tell it to Install. Full disclosure, I have not personally tried this plugin, so I don't know if it will work. Hopefully, it will.
Hi Al,
Unfortunately, this did not work, as I am getting the same results.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Mikey
I was afraid of that. Sorry. Just a quick check of the plugin files shows that it is trying to use a file, eventslib.php, which is NOT included in Moodle 3.6. And, it is not real apparent what, or how, Moodle 3.6 does to replace the no longer included functions that were in that file.

See below. The library has now been moved and now uses automatic class loading. As far as I can tell, the only thing required is to remove the require.
Hi Howard,
Thanks for the info about automatic class loading.
@Mikey, I can verify that using the master branch from github and commenting out line 29 in the open forum file, lib.php, does seem to make the plugin install successfully and be usable.
Thank you fro the information
It's worth checking your web server's error log. It might be something simple to fix...
Just for the record... I tried installing the hsuforum plugin and, yes, it doesn't work.
However.... go to line 29 in mod/hsuforum/lib.php and comment out the require(), thus....
//require_once($CFG->libdir.'/eventslib.php');
...that should get you working.
Howard,
That worked! Thank you for the help.
Best,
Mikey
