@Евгений - the latest version of our plugins will always be in github - and yes that version in github supports Moodle 4.x
It looks like this block will not work correctly on Moodle 4.x. Do you plan to release 4.x version of this plugin?
While testing on a 4.0.2 installation, we found this interesting behavior:
1. Go to personal Dashboard.
2. Turn editing on.
3. Select Add a block.
4. Select Multiblock.
5. Select Actions menu (gear icon) and then select Configure Multiblock block.
6. Go to Multiblock presentation style menu and select Columns: 2 equal.
7. Select Save changes.
Result: Only the Split and delete block option is displayed in the Actions menu.
hello, will the plugin be available for Moodle 4.0 as well?
Hello guys, I encountered an issue with the block (version 2020060102) not working on the 'frontpage' of Moodle. I found your own fix in https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-block_multiblock/pull/67. This fix does not seem to have been committed to the master as it is not in the version mentioned. Adding the code fixes my problem but it would be really nice if it could be pushed to the master? Thanks for this great plugin! Peter
Hi. Thank you for this excellent plugin.
We would like to upgrade Moodle to 3.11. Is Multiblock working well with Moodle 3.11?
Daniel
is possible to know what permissions the block need?, I want to let certain users use it, without been admin.
Very useful plugin, however, is it possible to let the Accordion start uncollapsed?

Hi Peter. Apologies for being late to say many thanks for patching the issue I reported above - very much appreciated. I also just wanted to quickly ask if you might be open to making some custom changes to the plugin, specifically the addition of a permission which controls whether the bock can be viewed (similar to the way the sign in sheet plugin handles this: https://moodle.org/plugins/block_signinsheet). My institution has pre-purchased support hours available (with Catalyst NZ) which hopefully could be used for this purpose - so please could you let me know if this would work for you. Thanks again!
HI Peter
Firstly - great plugin. Really tidies things up!
It's generally working fine - apart from on the home page. When I try to manage the blocks I get the error message: Can't find data record in database table course.
Is it designed to be used on the Home Page? We're using 3.8 and Lambda theme.
Thanks - Dan
Thank you for the heads up concerning adaptable. My site has not broken, but.....? Hmmmmm.....
There are definitely some issues with using Adaptable on 3.9, to the point where there is a pinned note in the themes forum not to use Adaptable with 3.9 at this time as it has not been updated. I would not be surprised if this is the issue you're coming into - as I can't reproduce such issues on 3.9.1 with Multiblock and Boost.
Maybe because I am using the adaptable theme? I’ll try again, and.get some screen capture for you.
@Mathijs: sorry, I forgot about this - there's nothing specific about the 3.9 version that would cause it to do this, there is no programmed functionality in multiblock's own code for this itself. If it is being preserved, maybe that's something in Bootstrap doing it, but I can't imagine what. It's not something that we've seen here or been able to reproduce ourselves.
@Michael: what does it say is outdated? I've just installed it on 3.9.1 using the exact download from this site, v1.3.2 of the plugin and it installed without warnings as I would expect. Do you have screenshots or a more detailed error message? I'm not sure what it could be saying is outdated; the same code works on 3.5 through 3.9.1 (though I haven't tested it on 3.9.1+ or Workplace 3.9.x yet) and it doesn't declare any dependencies.
Moodle will not install. Gives an outdated exception for 3.9.
