Hi Aparup,
thanks for the feedback on the Reader activity module. I have removed the superfluous lang files. Could you possibly add record in the tracker for new issues regarding the Reader module that are automatically assigned to me. Or should I ask Anthony B. to help me get that set up?

regards
Gordon

I can too Gordon and will. Thanks for your changes.

Gordon - I have created the requested component in the tracker and updated the tracker URL here. Peace - Anthony

Gordon - Could you add the source and documentation URLs? Peace - Anthony

I see the source URL. Please add documentation URL when possible. Reapproving this.

I installed this latest version this morning onto a fresh Moodle 2.6 installation and this error came up when I tried to add quizzes.

Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: moodle_database::insert_record_raw() no fields found.

All the other settings are correct, such as admin username and password, as we have been using this module on Moodle 2.5 for the last six months.

Further info from debugging options:

To add quizzes, please use the "Admin area 2.x", then the "Manage remote sites" link.

Tried doing that and then got this error:

Data for the following books was downloaded: switch_minus
error/Could not insert new record ID question_ordering options

Looks like you haven't installed the ORdering question type. Please do that and try again.

Ok, thanks for that.

I downloaded that version but now this error pops up.

Thanks for the fix, working great now!

I just tried to install this mod and got a warning about qtype_ordering. I'm using Moodle 2.4.5+

You can download the ordering question type (for any Moodle 2.x) from the following link:

Hi Gordon,

Have Moodle 2.6.2+ (20140314) and accessing a quiz in Moodle reader gives me this:

get_context_instance() is deprecated, please use context_xxxx::instance() instead.
line 4020 of /lib/deprecatedlib.php: call to debugging()
line 3767 of /mod/reader/lib.php: call to get_context_instance()
line 3495 of /mod/reader/lib.php: call to reader_cheatsheet_init()
line 60 of /mod/reader/view_books.php: call to reader_search_books()

I also get numerous php errors when trying to access the new Admin area:

build_navigation() is deprecated, please use $PAGE->navbar methods instead.
line 1988 of /lib/deprecatedlib.php: call to debugging()
line 974 of /mod/reader/admin.php: call to build_navigation()

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$last_update in /var/www/html/moodle/2x/mod/reader/admin.php on line 1101 Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$update_interval in /var/www/html/moodle/2x/mod/reader/admin.php on line 1101

I am assuming this happened due to our migration to version 2.6.2.

Is there something I can do to help troubleshoot/repair this problem?
