      <description>by koen roggemans. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;I still have to check a fresh install, so that's why I didn't clear it yet for 3., but I have it running, upgraded from a 3.1 to 3.2 without any problems.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by koen roggemans. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;As in the description: shows a numbered list of borrowed books and due dates in a Moodle block and a link to the OpenBiblio OPAC page.&lt;br&gt;
So no, you can't submit books. You can only search books that are stored in an OpenBiblio instance. This block does nothing without OpenBiblio - it's only a connector.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Айдар Сералиев. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hello, this plugin only works with database OpenBiblio OPAC, or I can submit their books for students?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by koen roggemans. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hi Aswini,&lt;br&gt;
This comment area is for comments on the OpenBiblio Block for Moodle, not for installation problems of Moodle.   You can post in forum &lt;a href=&quot;https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=28&quot; class=&quot;_blanktarget&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=28&lt;/a&gt; for those problems.&lt;br&gt;
That said, Moodle 1.9 is really outdated. The OpenBiblio plugin wil not work in 1.9. Moodle 1.9 is 6 years old - the support ended 2 years ago. Don't install it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I am using OpenBiblio 0.7.1 on EasyPHP 5.3.5, it works fine. When I install Moodle 1.9, it can't install it shows error like this:&lt;br&gt;

      <description>by Linda Vanderbaan. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;The problem is that in 2.4, there are no settings (M2.4 requires a has_config function returning true in the block code to enable settings):  - so in a new install, you get a fatal error:&lt;br&gt;
Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /var/lib/moodle/gao24/blocks/openbiblio/block_openbiblio.php on line 42 Call Stack: 0.0008 311240 1. {main}() /var/lib/moodle/gao24/course/view.php:0 0.2064 29056392 2. core_renderer-&amp;gt;header() /var/lib/moodle/gao24/course/view.php:243 0.2122 29713648 3. core_renderer-&amp;gt;render_page_layout() /var/lib/moodle/gao24/lib/outputrenderers.php:737 0.2125 29789744 4. include('/var/lib/moodle/gao24/theme/rlmaster/layout/general.php') /var/lib/moodle/gao24/lib/outputrenderers.php:807 0.8382 53259344 5. block_manager-&amp;gt;region_has_content() /var/lib/moodle/gao24/theme/rlmaster/layout/general.php:43 0.8382 53259344 6. block_manager-&amp;gt;ensure_content_created() /var/lib/moodle/gao24/lib/blocklib.php:353 0.8383 53259480 7. block_manager-&amp;gt;create_block_contents() /var/lib/moodle/gao24/lib/blocklib.php:1005 0.9003 55557800 8. block_base-&amp;gt;get_content_for_output() /var/lib/moodle/gao24/lib/blocklib.php:953 0.9004 55559864 9. block_base-&amp;gt;formatted_contents() /var/lib/moodle/gao24/blocks/moodleblock.class.php:232 0.9004 55559976 10. block_openbiblio-&amp;gt;get_content() /var/lib/moodle/gao24/blocks/moodleblock.class.php:284 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I installed openbiblio on moodle 2.4 and it doesn't work, as expected I guess. Any plans to upgrade openbiblio for 2.4?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Thank you!!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Alex&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
