    Is it planned to release the add-on for version 2.4 and 2.5?

    Hi Reto,

    Yes, it is planned, there are only a few required changes and the migration should be quick. In the meanwhile you can try (not in production) the latest available version, maybe you will need to hack version.php a bit. All feedback you cxan provide will speed up the migration process. Thanks

    Hi Daniel,

    Sorry, but I'm not sure I can locate the problem with the provided info. Do you mean in the administration block in a 2.5 site with block_admin_presets installed? Below the header in any of the admin_presets actions? In moodle.org/plugins?

    I am seeing the same problem as Daniel. I am using Moodle 2.5. I go to the Admin Presets block and choose Export Settings. It loads the Export Settings screen and under the Admin settins section at the bottom, it only shows a spinning loader. Any suggestions?

    Hi Randal,

    Thanks for the info. I cloned the last version from the repository and it worked without any problem. For what I have seen this last version uploaded here is outdated. I have just uploaded a new version from the last repository code (removing a couple of debugging messages in the meanwhile) so it should work ok.

    Hi Nick,

    Sorry, it's been a long time since I pushed a change to this repo, according to what I see the last version was released for Moodle 2.5, I don't think that the admin settings classes changed significantly, but you would need to check it, in a couple of weeks I will have some time to update my contributed plugins.

    Hi Alí,

    This is a block, you need to add it to a page, you could add it to your frontpage, more info in https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Block_settings#Adding_a_block_to_a_page

    Es un plugin de tipo bloque, debes anadirlo a una de tus paginas, probablemente lo mas facil sea agregarlo al indice principal, mas info en https://docs.moodle.org/all/es/Agregar_un_Bloque

    Hi David, once installed (2.9.4) the block does not appear in the add-block list for any page that I can see so far

    Hi Matt,

    If it is correctly installed you should be able to add it to the frontpage (https://github.com/dmonllao/moodle-block_admin_presets/blob/master/block_admin_presets.php#L47) same than 'Main menu' block.
