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

Greets, Luuk
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:

@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

I have removed the User Bookmarks block from all tabs and now it is fine. It seems that this is the problem creating the error.
