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:
