Connector for OpenBiblio library software: shows a numbered list of borrowed books and due dates in a Moodle block and a link to the OpenBiblio OPAC page.

Current versions available: 5
The block requires OpenBiblio library software, version 0.6 or higher (downloadable from http://openbiblio.sourceforge.net).
This block reads the OpenBiblio database, pulls out which books a Moodle logged-in user has borrowed and shows them with their due date.
Moodle needs to be able to read the OpenBiblio database and needs to know how to identify someone in that database. Any field in the user profile is possible. These settings can be put on the OpenBiblio block settings page in the blocks administration menu.

I installed openbiblio on moodle 2.4 and it doesn't work, as expected I guess. Any plans to upgrade openbiblio for 2.4?
Thank you!!

This comment area is for comments on the OpenBiblio Block for Moodle, not for installation problems of Moodle. You can post in forum https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=28 for those problems.
That said, Moodle 1.9 is really outdated. The OpenBiblio plugin wil not work in 1.9. Moodle 1.9 is 6 years old - the support ended 2 years ago. Don't install it.
So no, you can't submit books. You can only search books that are stored in an OpenBiblio instance. This block does nothing without OpenBiblio - it's only a connector.
