Adding block to home page breaks site

[leonstr]

Adding block_attendance (and mod_attendance) breaks the site, you get an error on login (Moodle 3.11.5):

Debug info: SELECT id,parent FROM {course_categories} WHERE id = ?
[array (
0 => '0',
)]
Error code: invalidrecord

Presumably this block shouldn't be added to the site home page so line 158 of blocks/attendance/block_attendance.php should be changed to:

    return array('all' => true, 'my' => false, 'admin' => false, 'tag' => false, 'site' => false); 

Alternatively -- and as a workaround for anyone encountering this error -- insert the following lines to blocks/attendance/block_attendance.php below line 56:

    if ($COURSE->id === SITEID) {
        return $this->content;
    }

thanks for the report - I've just pushed a fix for that into the repo, will look to update the plugins db with the latest version soon.
