I finally managed to fix the problem. In function upload_print_form_fragment_old, I modified this line:

$str = etc... "input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="'. $maxbytes etc

like this:

$str='';

The value of $maxbytes was very high (as expected due to our moodle configurations) but it caused the problem anyway. This should not cause problems since in our site this block is meant for admins only.

Hello,

Please update your plugin for Moodle v3.0

While installating I get errors [all text with debugging option on]:

Plugin block_repo_filemanager does not declare valid $plugin->component in its version.php.

Jarosław, this plugin hasn't yet been validated for Moodle 3.0, my plugins for paying customers come first. If you want to get this to install in the interim, add:

$plugin->component = "block_repo_filemanager";

To version.php.

Hello, Does this plugin has been validated for Moodle 3.1? I installed the plugin but the buttons are invisible.

Hello, A version for Moodle 3.1 will be released in due course, however I have a very busy schedule at the moment and I can't say when I'm going to get to this at the moment.

In moodle 2.9 in the execution of the plugin do not appear the buttons to the foot like the actions in each line.
I use ubuntu 16.04 and probe with firefox chrome.
Any information to correct such problem will be very useful.
Thank you!!

Hi Marcelo,

Could you provide a bit more information, I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. Also are you on Firefox, Chrome or both, your message is not clear on this point.

For reference you also need the Course Files Area repository plugin installed and active for this block to be of use, if you don't have this installed don't expect it to do much. The management capabilities only work for files stored in the Course Files Area, everything else is "browse only" so there will be no action buttons.

A Moodle 3.5 version of this plugin is on the way soon, the code is already on github for anybody who wants a preview.

The latest version displays the following error when I open the file manager block:

Debug info: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string
Error code: codingerror
Stack trace:

line 412 of /lib/setuplib.php: coding_exception thrown
line 729 of /blocks/repo_filemanager/index.php: call to default_error_handler()
line 594 of /blocks/repo_filemanager/index.php: call to displayfiledir()
line 428 of /blocks/repo_filemanager/index.php: call to displaydir()

Thoughts?

Hmm, it's not doing that on my systems. What PHP version do you have? I'm currently on 7.0.

@Robert => I was able to reproduce and write a patch for this issue https://github.com/tim1mw/repo_filemanager-moodle-block/pull/2/commits/e23492674589823f8ea25ad37869e9b04ad5f913 (pull request ready for integration by Tim )

Hello,
On Moodle 3.5, I've install the two plugins Repository File Manager and Course Files Area.
For the plugin Course Files Area I've enable set "Allow Internal use".
When I upload a file in Course Files Area, ie with a block in the Home page, this file is not visible in the Course Files Area of the Moddle file picker in others courses.
is this normal ?
Best regrads.

@Arnaud I apologize for the very late reply as I ended up stepping away from this for awhile. This indeed fixed the error for me as well. @Tim I'm on PHP 7.1.11 by the way if that helps. I can confirm that the fix offered works.

Hi Tim ,I found version 2018053101 can't work on moodle 3.5.12 with php 7.1 ,but version 2016120601 can work on moodle 3.5.12 with php 7.1,it is strange

Hi there,

I've got the plugin installed on my Moodle instance (3.11.6). While the plugin allows me to see the contents of the repositories, I don't have any other information along with the filename. No size/option to download etc.
