I’m not that familiar with the issue tracker. Is it possible to report a problem with a plug-in and will the plug-ins authors be notified automatically?
I'm not sure if this is clear to everyone who is interested in this topic: The htmlspecialchars() error message simply occurs because some code (in this case, from the moodle core) expected a string (something like „apple“), but another piece of code (in this case, from the plug-in) delivered an array (something like [„apple“, „banana“, „orange“]. This is a common mistake, and this error message is the subject of numerous questions in these forums. Even if you get the same error message, you may very well be dealing with a completely different problem.
