Known issues

We are using the user_preferences DB table for storing user favourites. The max length stored here is a varchar 1333. Because of this, the plugin has a limit in how many favourites a user can store.

Workaround for this

ALTER TABLE `mdl_user_preferences` 
MODIFY COLUMN `value` text CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT '' AFTER `name`
