Navigation buttons

Hi,
Thank you for your plug-in. I have looked to integrate this kind of navigation during a long time. It works fine with my Moodle 3.0.
Best regards.

In case anyone else sees this comment - the issue was the block being added to a page outside of a course. The latest code on github now treats this as a non-fatal error (it is not a useful thing to do, but it is no longer an actively harmful thing to do). I'll release a new official version at some point.

Hi, I installed the plugin and changed the /lib/outputrenders.php file as described. The navigation buttons come up perfectly!!
But... in the backend, when I click on 'courses' to go to a specific course, I get the following error:
Debug info:
Error code: codingerror
Stack trace:

line 945 of /lib/outputrenderers.php: call to core_renderer->render_page_layout()
line 59 of /course/index.php: call to core_renderer->header()
If I go back and click on ' courses' again, the error is gone. This happens every time I click on 'courses'. I use Moodle 2.9.1+
I really love and need this navigation buttons, can someone help me on this?
thanks

I have replaced the same code in this file and its working fine "theme/uikit/renderers/core_renderer.php

when i change the clean them it is working fine

i have installed blocks_navbuttons plugin in my moodle application and follow the steps for the configuration and also change the code as per the README.txt file but still message is appeare
"Navbutton self-test: The line "$output = draw_navbuttons().$this->container_end_all(true);" has not been correctly added to outputrenderers.php - see README.txt for further instructions"

Riddhi - adding navigation buttons to all courses by default would require some extra development work; the current plugin does not support doing that.

Hi,
I want to add navigation buttons to all the courses by default. Could you please guide me what to do?

Sorry - that is because Moodle.org won't let me upload it as a 'block' plugin (due to the required core modification).
You must download the plugin manually, rename it to 'navbuttons', install it into the 'blocks/' directory on the server and make the required core code modification.
There is no way to enable automatic installation of this plugin.

Hi Davo,
I'm running Moodle 2.6+ (Build: 20131129)
When I try and install this through the ADMIN > Plugins it fails validation and I get the following error message:
Error Invalid add-on name: davosmith-moodle-navbuttons-b8f320e
The help message says:
"The name of the root directory in the ZIP package violates formal syntax requirements. Some ZIP packages, such as those generated by Github, may contain an incorrect root directory name. You need to fix the name of the root directory to match the add-on name."

David - please read through the instructions in the 'any problems' section of the README.txt file included in the plugin: https://github.com/davosmith/moodle-navbuttons/blob/master/README.txt#l52

Hi! Thanks for such a great plugin! The pulgin it's working for any activity I create, but for resources (web content), it doesn't work. Do you know why is this happening ?

Matt - the version on github is working with Moodle 2.6 - I'll be doing a big update of all my plugins on Moodle.org in the next few days.

Thanks for developing such a great plugin. We are planning to upgrade to Moodle 2.6 soon and were wondering if a new version of navbuttons will be released or if this version will work as is. Thanks.

Davo, thank you so much for this nice module. I am able to implement it. Please also add essential and other themes specific troubleshooting in README file. I shall be grateful to you.
