Dear fellows:

Would you help me to solve this?

I'm getting this error when user clicks User dashboard in Moodle.

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$block_online_users_onlinestatushiding in /home/appformp/public_html/moodle27/blocks/online_users/classes/fetcher.php on line 81

In debugging (System administration/Develpper/debugging):

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$block_online_users_onlinestatushiding in /home/appformp/public_html/moodle27/blocks/online_users/block_online_users.php on line 141

Invalid get_string() identifier: 'smtpsecure' or component 'message_email'. Perhaps you are missing $string['smtpsecure'] = ''; in /home/appformp/public_html/moodle27/message/output/email/lang/en/message_email.php?

Moodle: 3.8.9 /PHP 7.2)

Thank you

I'm confused - the error in your subject doesn't match your description of the problem (there's no mention of assign_print_overview).

When did this start? Is this a (failed) upgrade or a new plugin install or similar?

Dear Howard Miller,

I tried again to copy here exactly the message I get when I click in Dashboard:

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$block_online_users_onlinestatushiding in /home/appformp/public_html/moodle27/blocks/online_users/classes/fetcher.php on line 81

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$block_online_users_onlinestatushiding in /home/appformp/public_html/moodle27/blocks/online_users/block_online_users.php on line 141

Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: assign_print_overview() can not be used any more and is obsolete.

It's really a failed upgrade, but we haven't any other problem. It happens whith Dasboard or More (in the list of courses on the left.

The upgrade was made with Softaculous.

Dear Howard,

I have uninstalled a plugin named block_course_overview and, apparently, the problem was solved. Next, I'll try to upgrade with moodle.org instructions and not with Softaculous.

Thank you
