Same here with Moodle 4.1 - also there are no settings in the plugin-settings, just blank

Hi! @Phil In Moodle 4.0 I receive this error:
Can't find data record in database.
Yes, that's me
@Phil: Does the plugin work as expected (by you) in moodle 3.5?
Phil Devine
Anyone having problems with Moodle 3.7 with this plugin? Install is fine but has missing functionality when used in course page - no text edit areas appear, simply, the title of the course appears when added to a course page?
Laurent Dairaine
This plugin is really usefull ! But I am not able to make it run properly when I write using markdown format : it seems the markdown conversion to html is not achieve. Any idea ?
Yes, that's me

Je suis parfaitement d'accord. Le fait que le titre soit directement inscrit dans la description, cela rend redondant. Dommage.
Neil Stapleton
I have to agree with Robert's comment. The inclusion of the course title as a heading with no option to remove makes this unusable for me. Would be great to see this released for 3.5, with support for mobile and the option to turn off the course name... I think this would be very popular.
Robert Schrenk
This is a cool plugin, unfortunately it is not possible to disable or customize the title of this resource. It always shows the course title as heading - and very very large. It would be perfect, if one could customize the appearance of the resource title.

Can be use in moodle 2.9? thanks
