    Hi - I really like this, and am excited that it may become part of the core in the future. I found at least one bug in 2.5.1+, If you have the clean theme as the default, create a label, add an image in the embedded popup, then save, All seems fine. But if you then edit that label, then click on the tinymce embedded plugin button, you'll get a blank popup.

    if you change your theme to a non-bootstrap theme it works.

    the error we get is -
    Default exception handler: Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: The course you passed to $PAGE->set_cm does not correspond to the $cm. Debug:
    Error code: codingerror
    * line 952 of /lib/pagelib.php: coding_exception thrown
    * line 3697 of /lib/navigationlib.php: call to moodle_page->set_cm()


    Lastly, there is a quirk, where if I have the default theme set to clean, but the course i'm in set to afterburner, when I click on the embedded tinymce button, i get a popup with the clean theme (not the afterburner theme).

    I could make a video demo of this if it'd be useful.

    THANK YOU FOR your work on this, I really like it.

    Hi Steve, thanks for reporting it. I will look at it ASAP. Actually the plugin is in integration now so such bugs become issues already, I will just copy the patch and update the plugin here. I created an issue for this MDL-40850

    Need some help. I am using Moodle 2.6+ on a Linux system. Did an update to last week's release. Now when I go to update database, I am getting a statement that a "Higher version already installed!"

    The current version is given as: 2013120200, which I take to mean December 2, 2013

    The new version is given as: 2013110500, which I take to mean November 11, 2013

    And the required version is given as: 2013110500, again which I take to mean November 11, 2013

    As it happens I have versions of this going back to early 2013 and I have even downloaded a zip version of the latest Moodle 2.6 release. No matter which version I install, I still always get the "Higher Version already installed!" error.

    The path I am using is: /lib/editor/tinymce/plugins/managefiles. What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks,

    Rod Wolford

    Thanks Rodney for reporting this. At this moment you need to uninstall this plugin before upgrading to 2.6.
    Meanwhile I will fix the plugin version in 2.6 asap, I created an issue MDL-43606 for it

    Hi Marina,
    We're using atto_managefiles in Moodle 2.7.2 (as it's included in the standard distribution), and we've noticed that when a file's name uses non-ASCII characters the file is incorrectly reported both as not used and as missing by the plugin. I also tested this on qa.moodle.net, and the problem persists. I couldn't work out how to fix this in moodle-atto_managefiles-usedfiles.js. A screenshot shows this at http://www.imagesup.net/?di=1014127561490 .
