Not able to edit individual blocks on Moodle LMS 4.2 onwards

[dcombes]

Similar to open issue #104 on Workplace, we have just upgraded our Moodle LMS to 4.4 from 3.9, and can't edit any individual block within a Multiblock block. All we get is a blank screen and HTTP error 500.

Any ideas?
Is there a plan to release an update for versions beyond 4.1?

Thanks
David

Hi @dcombes I haven't heard of this being an issue in a non-workplace 4.2 site - if you could turn developer debugging on with display errors and see if you can get any more information that would be useful.

We are about to start some upgrade projects for sites using this block on 4.1 who want to upgrade to 4.5 but if you have internal development capabilities, pull requests are also very welcome.

We've leap frogged from Moodle 3.9 to 4.4 and found we had the problem. It may or may not appear for 4.2, apologies for my misleading wording before.

I've switched on debugging, and I get the same error for all the examples I tried. It doesn't seem to matter what type of Block I wish to edit in a Multiblock (assuming it has a cog), nor if the Multiblock is located on the right side or centre of the page. I'm not sure if/how I could investigate further into the php to see what is on "line 60" as we don't host our Moodle site ourselves.

Fatal error: Cannot override final method core_form\dynamic_form::__construct() in /var/vhosts/vle.moorlands.ac.uk/htdocs/blocks/multiblock/classes/form/editblock_base.php on line 60

Does this help at all? We're using the Adaptable theme, in case that matters.

I am able to remove the individual Block that I want edit from the Multiblock, make the edits, then re-add the Block, so we have a workaround. But wanted to raise it.

Thanks

Hi Dan,

We seem to have the same issue on our testing site with v4.5, that it's returning the same error when we try to edit a block setting that is within multiblock.
