This block offers three different recommendation services: popular activities on this course; popular courses on this site; shared bookmarks. Each can be enabled and configured separately.
Each service displays the top 3 links in the block and a "more" link to an additional page with further recommendations.
Popular activities service lists the 10 most viewed/updated resources and activities within the current course.
Popular courses service lists the top 3 other courses which the current course students are also enrolled upon
Shared bookmarks allows teachers to add any url to the block to make their own recommendations.
The block can be extended by developing your own services.

A JS error results from something within the call to M.core_dock.init - which causes JS execution to stop, and e.g. edit links within a course to remain inactive.
I can't see any other block except navigation (or simple_nav) calling M.core_dock.init, but I also can't find any docs on how block plugins should interact with the dock, so it's not clear to me whether recommender just should not be calling it or whether that "should" be ok (perhaps all the other block plugins "should" be calling it too?!) and some other interaction is causing it to fail in our case.
Any clues?
for anyone interested in using this on more recent versions, you can find the code at:
