Hi,

I have same problem, and solve it by modifying source code as below.
but I need to make more tests to be sure all works fine

In file $MOODLEROOT/local/ldap/locallib.php :

Comment or delete lines (it appears in 2 functions)
$textlib = textlib_get_instance(); { => deprecated }

Replace line
$group = $textlib->convert($group, 'utf-8', $this->config->ldapencoding);
by
$group = core_text::convert($group, 'utf-8', $this->config->ldapencoding);

and every occurrence of "textlib::" by "core_text::"

For information, not sure this development will be update
Unfortunately, Patrick Pollet died in january 2015, he was a great french contributor to Moodle

Thanks BrunoMalaval for your suggestion.
I am using moodle 2.9.2.I installed the moss.I am getting the following error while moving to moss antiplagiarism.

get_context_instance() is deprecated, please use context_xxxx::instance() instead.

Did you remember to call setType() for 'mossuserid'? Defaulting to PARAM_RAW cleaning.

Hello,

get_context_instance() is a Moodle function, and is deprecated now with new versions of Moodle.

I take a look at the Moss plugin, it hasn't be update for several years.
The last version is for Moodle 2.1 but no more available on Moodle.org .....

Modifying the code is not a good idea, because it's too old. You'll certainly need to rewrite all the plugin ... not a good idea

I think this plugin is no more available until Moss development team produce a new version.
Best I can tell you is to contact Moss team to have informations about it

Good luck and have a nice day
