Hello - I have installed this plugin on Moodle 3.8.2 and am getting the following error message across the Social Wall course when trying to add the Alert block:

Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: calendar_get_upcoming() has been removed. Please see block_calendar_upcoming::get_content() for the correct API usage.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Any upgrade to Moodle 3.2?

Hi, thanks for this contributing this plugin. I was able to successfully test the basic functionality in the combination with the
format. Some review notes follow.

* It would help to explain in the plugin description and the README file how this block differs from what the standard Upcoming events block,
i.e. what enhancements it provides (highlighting alarm posts from the social wall I guess).
* From the UI (before looking into the code), it was not clear to me what "Sticky Posts on Top" config option does and even then, it
did not seem to affect the list of alerts.
* The settings.php is being included in the global scope so it would be safer to call the $maxalerts with the frankenstyle prefix
(or do not use it at all).
* PARAM_TEXT does not seem to be a correct type for the config_maxalerts field, I would expect PARAM_INT here.
* Some issues mentioned in the format review applies here as well (missing PNG version of the picture, capitalised titles, missing
tracker and source code repository URLs)

I have not found any blockers so this can be approved once the missing URLs are provided. As you requested in the private message, I
am putting this on hold for now so we can approve all the plugins in the set at once.
