Thanks Vadim for sharing another useful plugin with the Moodle community. I agree with Mike that this plugin can significantly increase reliability of online testing with Moodle.

I have no strong preference on where to redirect the blocked user (and I don't definitely feel like the to decide it smile). Both targets look reasonable to me. Moodle often redirects the user to the course page on errors. But as a user, I would personally prefer to stay in the context where I was. So being redirected to the list of attempts in the quiz makes sense, too.

In either case, I am happy to approve this plugin now. You are cleared to land, welcome to the Plugins directory!

I currently do not have certain opinion of where to redirect blocked user. I was thinking about returning to course, but decided to return user to attempts list. As far as user has came to error from the list of old attempts (/quiz/view.php), user is returned there. Let's ask David and decide it by a simple majority.
Codechecker problems are all solved on github, i'll post new version, as far as we decide with redirect.

Hi Vadim.
I am reviewing your plugin submission for the Plugins Guardians.
Note there were a few coding standard issues identified above which would be good to fix if you can.
I tested the plugin thoroughly, and it does what it is supposed to do very well. I think there will be many organizations interested in this.
The code is very well written and structured well.
One suggestion, when a user accesses a quiz that is already open in another session, the "Continue" button redisplays the same page. It would be good if the "Continue" button took the user back to the course display instead. Not critical, but might make the user experience better.
Thanks for your submission!
