  Hi,
  
  I want to add navigation buttons to all the courses by default. Could you please guide me what to do?

  Riddhi - adding navigation buttons to all courses by default would require some extra development work; the current plugin does not support doing that.

  Hi, I installed the plugin and changed the /lib/outputrenders.php file as described. The navigation buttons come up perfectly!!
  But... in the backend, when I click on 'courses' to go to a specific course, I get the following error:
  
  Debug info:
  Error code: codingerror
  Stack trace:
  
  line 5721 of /lib/accesslib.php: coding_exception thrown
  line 7338 of /lib/accesslib.php: call to context->get_course_context()

  line 945 of /lib/outputrenderers.php: call to core_renderer->render_page_layout()
  line 59 of /course/index.php: call to core_renderer->header()
  
  If I go back and click on ' courses' again, the error is gone. This happens every time I click on 'courses'. I use Moodle 2.9.1+
  I really love and need this navigation buttons, can someone help me on this?
  
  thanks

  In case anyone else sees this comment - the issue was the block being added to a page outside of a course. The latest code on github now treats this as a non-fatal error (it is not a useful thing to do, but it is no longer an actively harmful thing to do). I'll release a new official version at some point.

  Hi,
  
  Thank you for your plug-in. I have looked to integrate this kind of navigation during a long time. It works fine with my Moodle 3.0.
  
  Best regards.

  Hi anyone knows Which database files will get affect with this plugin?

  There are no database files affected by this plugin, as the database does not have any files in it.
  The table the plugin stores its data is defined here: https://github.com/davosmith/moodle-navbuttons/blob/master/db/install.xml

  Davo, as people have mentioned this working with Moodle 3.0, can you as well update the plug-in showing Moodle 3.0+ supported?

  I have successfully installed the plugins and everything works just fine. I have replaced the default icons with my own but there is a blue colored background behind them and I would like to remove it. Do you have any ideas about how I could do that?

  Hi Dave,
  
  Firstly good job on the plugin.
  
  We have various Moodle installs, all v3+ (3.0, 3.2, etc). Would your this plugin work for these versions?
  
  If it will work for v3+, then in order to have previous/next buttons across activities of all course, would we need to the block for each course/activity or is there a setting that could be configured for all activities across all courses?
  
  Your earliest response is greatly appreciated.
  
  Thanks!

  Ishani, I'm not aware of any problems with running this plugin on Moodle 3.2 (although I've not tested it with that version). It certainly works with 3.0 & 3.1 (as indicated at the top of this page).
  
  This block only works on a per-course level, in theory it would not be that hard to extend it to work across the entire site, but I've never sat down and rewritten the code to work that way.

  Thanks for the quick response @Davo Smith, appreciate it.
  
  I will give it a go and see how it turns out. All we need is for students to scroll through activities using "Prev/Next" links from within the activity and not go to the Course front page every now and then to move to the next activity.
