Does this work with moodle 4.1?

Estimad@s, está versión estará disponible para Moodle 3.5?
Brendan Heywood
hi Don, this already supports 3.4
Don Cooke
Are there any plans to get this working for 3.4.x ?
Brendan Heywood
hi Christopher,
Support for 3.3 and 3.4 has not yet been added to this plugin as the auth settings api changed in 3.3
There is nothing special about this plugin in terms of uninstalling - the only gotcha, which applies to all auth plugins, is that you can only uninstall it if there are no users who have this auth type, which includes suspended users. You may need to migrate them to another auth type like manual first and then uninstall this plugin.

I'm having trouble removing this plugin from my instance. This may be causing an upgrading issue for Moodle v3.4 and I need to uninstall this plugin
Brendan Heywood
hi Christopher,
I've fleshed out the install instructions here:
https://github.com/CatalystIT-AU/moodle-auth_basic#installation
This goes into /auth/basic/
Christopher Blake
Which directory does this plug-in get installed to?

Yeah I've cleaned that metadata up.

Something is not right here with the versions - https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=auth_basic points to old version download as latest:
Current version 2014121100 (2014121100)
Release date: Thursday, December 11, 2014, 3:37 AM
Previous versions 2014121903 (2014121903)
Release date: Friday, January 9, 2015, 2:34 AM
maybe you just need to put info on the latest version that it's for Moodle 2.7, 2.8 - could you just update it.

Thanks Tomek, It's now passes with both the local/moodlecheck and local/codechecker and I fixed that redirect, so should be good to go
Tomasz Muras
Hi Brendan,
The plugin looks good - it's simple and useful.
Would you mind fixing at least more important prechecker errors (eg @copyright, __construct(), visibility).
Also, note that the redirect you do:
$urltogo = '/';
won't work correctly if Moodle is installed in sub-directory (e.g. example.com/moodle) - you should redirect to root WWW instead.
Thanks for sharing !
