Hi Luuk
This looks a great plugin. I am wanting to connect it with some custom sql - where exactly does a user's favourite list get stored?
thanks
Ken

Hi Ken,
This information is stored in `mdl_user_preferences` with the name "user_favorites" the data is a serialized array.
Cheers, Luuk

Hi Dnyaneshwar, there are no plans for now to build mobile support.

hello, can you add this block to all the pages of your moodle site. Do I have to manually enable on each course?

Hi Carlos,

Yes, you should add it manual to each course. It's a normal block instance.

You can make it a default course block see this comment:

Do you know if there's a way to add that functionality of the button to a link? I'd really like to have this functionality in the footer.

Hey, is it possible to add/ integrate this plugin/block in the moodle mobile app? If yes, how can I do it?

@richard could you explain a little bit more what goal you want to achive with the block? I am not sure if I understand you correctly.

@Fabian the block is not ready for the Moodle Mobile App, I am actually not sure if it would really work properly. You are always free to make changes to the block and push it back to the community. You could find more information on how to make it work on the Moodle website, by example: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Mobile_support_for_plugins
