I realise this may seem a basic question to some, but I am having difficulty installing a block in moodle 1.8.4
I have used the existing html block to create an infant/junior friendly menu for the moodle site I am developing to become our school website/vle. I want to be able to use this as a block which can be placed on any page in any course. However, I also want to be able to keep the flexibility of the exisiting html block and its "multiple" uses. I have tried to duplicate the exisiting html block renaming the folder and the php code as html_menu, and have added this to the mysql table mdl_block. I have gone into admin and clicked Notification, but then when I go to the Blocks page, it tells me that "Block html_menu is not compatible with the current version of Moodle and needs to be updated by a programmer."
I presumably have missed something very basic, and would appreciate someone telling me what that is. I have only been using moodle since last week and am teaching myself/learning as I am developing this site. So far loving it and finding it very comprehensive and hoping my staff and the children will find it equally so!
Thanks for any help
Richard
