A Moodle 1.9 version of this plugin can be downloaded directly here: https://github.com/arborrow/moodle-block_mrbs/zipball/MOODLE_19_STABLE - this is not available on Moodle.org as there would be a lot of work involved in rewriting it to pass the automated database naming checks.

People struggling with "repeat" bookings returning with a booking conflict with a date of 1970 change line 326 of web/mrbs_sql.php from $entrys = ''; to $entrys = array();
Works for me
Has not been fixed at source yet..
I have the same problem like Chris. Does anyone know of a solution?
you will find some hints in the Moodle Tracker forum. Dom posts a great solution and it works fine within moodle Version 3.8.

As handy as this plug in is.. I am surprised that this is the only booking plug in moodle. Or am I wrong ?
The biggest plus is that this plug in does not require yet another log in to another piece of software. And maintenance is easer.
Regardles.. would be really nice if was upgraded to work out of the box. I would feel a lot more comfortable.
Sadly . I am just a government school and cannot pony up any funds.
If you have already tried the latest version of the plugin available at: https://github.com/arborrow/moodle-block_mrbs and that isn't working, then you could ask my employers at https://synergy-learning.com/contact-us/ for a quote for upgrading this plugin to work with M4+.
Due to a lack of anyone willing to fund the ongoing maintenance of this plugin (and me having enough other plugins to maintain in my free time), it hasn't been updated here in 6+ years, so it is not surprising that it is no longer working.
Am currently installing the original mrbs from https://mrbs.sourceforge.io/ It is still being maintained too
Just wondering .. rather that a rewrite .. can we just add an auth scheme to the MRBS code base.. they already have one for joomla. That way we can stay current.
Mind you.. being able to change the options via a gui is nice.
If you have a github account, you can clone the repository ('source control url' linked above) and then create a pull request for your changes to be merged back in.
I'm then happy to review and merge them.
Once that is done, I can look into getting a new version published here.
Is there any chance to upgrade this plugin to work with Moodle 4?
Waiting for your reply.
Stay safe
If you're interested in paying for the time needed to fully upgrade and test against recent Moodle versions, then please get in touch.
That is why I am requesting access to what Heiko has sent, if you have no objection, to try to adapt it to the new versions of moodle.
I look forward to hearing from you, thank you very much in advance.
