Hi guys - this is by far the most helpful forum plugin I have come across for facilitating reading/posting/commenting - well done! Just wondering when it might be available for 3.8 installations - or are you working on a version for 3.9?
Hi, I am trying to use this on Moodle 3.8 but keep getting this error when i try to add OpenForum to a course.
Exception - Call to undefined method HTML_QuickForm_Error::getName()
Many thanks

Hello
I use Open Forum on moodle in version 3.6. We have a problem.
When students add a discussion, it works. The other students can answer it.
When a teacher adds a discussion, students cannot respond to it.
Do you know this problem?
Thanks.
Hello, I am getting this error "Exception - Call to undefined method HTML_QuickForm_Error::getName()" while create new forum. on moodle 3.8.1+,
I found a temporary solution (mod/hsuforum/mod_form.php) commented given lines:
//$scale = $mform->insertElementBefore($mform->removeElement('scale'), 'grade');
//$scale->setLabel(get_string('grade'));
than its working fine but Rating not working
Hi everyone,
Is the open forum compatible with the Moodle mobile app?
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
someboy knows if Open Forum is compatible with Moodle 3.8?
Looks awesome the plugin, congrats.
Thanks!
Hi, I'm using Open Forum 3.6.3 in Moodle 3.6, and although it's working fine in Moodle, no notifications get sent for new Open Forum posts. Standard Forum posts are working fine. I've checked the subscription settings and all looks correct, the schedule is setup, but no email notifications. Anyone else come across this, is there an extra setting somewhere for Open Forum?
Many thanks
Hello, I am using Open Forum plugins in moodle 3.7.1 its working very well, I have a small requirement in this plugin, is there any collapsible option for parent post or reply. if yes then kindly guide us so that we can implement it.
Hello! Is there a 3.7 compliant version in the works? If so, when might it be ready? Thanks!
Has anyone tried to install this on Moodle 3.7? And if so, what happened?
Hsuforum and the flashcard module caused havoc with us updating to Moodle 3.6 from 3.5 because of the eventslib.php file that Moodle no longer has. If you go directly to the git repository for this module https://github.com/blackboard-open-source/moodle-mod_hsuforum, and download it from there, it works fine. We had to remove the plugin folder for both of these modules first to get it working and not displaying the HTTP 500 error.
@Mikey Helmick and other Moodle 3.6 users. I am looking at upgrading from Moodle 3.4 to 3.6 however I see that there isn't an official Moodle 3.6 release for Open Forum (mod_hsuforum).

If you're using hsu_forum and 3.6, have you run into any issues or open bugs that are causing issues with users?
Is Open Forums ready for 3.6 in production?
Hello everyone,
I am currently using Moodle 3.6.3 (Build: 20190311) and open forum plugin version 3.5.2 (Build:2018080801). I have a forum where students can post questions about course material. In this forum, both the posts and replies are anonymous thanks to the anonymous posting option. I was wondering if there is a way for the teacher to see the students names instead of anonymous user or would I have to turn off anonymous posting to make this work?
Best,
Mike Helmick
thank you smile
I'll give you some feedback on your use.
