User Bookmarks (for Moodle 2.0-2.5)

This Block adds the possibility for Users to create their own URL bookmarks.

Simple but usefull, be it to set a shortcut to an administration function deep in the menu, or to have your favorite courses at your fingertip.

It's currently based on the admin_bookmarks block.

 

A new Version with it's own Database and Upgrade Function for previous Versions which is compatible with Moodle 2.6.x and 2.7.X is in development and expected to be available End of 2014.

    Thanks for the Feedback Gerald i will Test and implement it in the next Version,
    The current Version here is not intended for 2.6. You can check out the Version at Github or wait untill the 19.10, when I will release a completely new Version with it's own databasetables.
    (since the current solutation has not just a limitations on the amount of links one user can theoretically create but also a high probability for running into Problems with non ASCI characters on Multilingual environements, mainly ones with Asian Characters)

    This is a great module. Any chance you could add the option to re-arrange links and import/export.
    Cheers,
    Jesse

    Hello! Whenever I try to bookmark a course main page that uses a format such as the Grid format or the TabTopics format, I can't create the bookmark because there is a yui code embedded in the link.
    Click me to create a bookmark
    You can see it in the example above after "id=" in the link.

    With other formats, I do not see that yui code and can create the bookmark with no problem. Do you have any advice here?

    Hi Jonas,
    Thanks for the reply, hows development coming along? I've had to uninstall this plugin for now, it was causing a few errors in 2.8. I'm missing it quite a bit :p
    Cheers,

    Sorry to all that have been waiting for a new release in December.
    I didn't have the time to test it and the next release is supposed to fix all the Problems as automatic as possible.

    ... about A Year late at best.
    Sorry was too busy with other Projects and no one Sponsoring my work.
    I have a working local build, but no time to test it on 2.8 and 2.9.
    are you applying as Betatester?
    If I find time I'll finish a refactored release which will really be usefull

    Hi Jonas,
    We are using this plugin and we like it very much. There is a limitation with it. It uses the user_preferences table to store the book mark of a user in the value field of the table. The type of the field is varchar (1333). We had a situation where the bookmarks exceeded this size. We got this error:
    Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Invalid value in set_user_preference() call, value is is too long for the value column

    We also noticed that to "explode" the bookmarks from the string field, you are using a ",". We have some errors if the Title has a "," on it. Is there a way to avoid this problem? Thanks for your work. Carlos

    Hi Jonas,
    I'd gladly offer to beta test, and even contribute a little towards development?
    I currently only use this with a few small highschool extra curricular classes, but happy to contribute a little!
    Cheers,
