Hi there
A few issues with Grid format in Moodle 2.1
First up, major error message when go into notifications and attempt to upgrade:
When I attempt to apply the grid format to a course, the images in the topics break:
Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

Dear KerryJ,
I am unfamiliar with that format, but I would suggest raising an issue in tracker - http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB/component/11231 - as that automatically sends an eMail to the creator notifying them of the issue and allows them to document how they progressed in fixing the issue.
Cheers,
Gareth
Hi Kerry, I have some funding to get this Format fixed up and to possibly take over as maintainer.
Could you please add all your issues to the track and Ill hopefully get them seen to shortly.
Thanks
Julian
Just an update to say that I am now listed as the maintainer and the work is currently underway on fixing the few bugs outstanding in this fantastic format. Should have a new version released in the next couple of weeks.

Hi Julian
We installed this fantastic format and I saw huge potential in it. Sadly we have had to remove it this week because it was impossible to delete courses that were created in this format.
We are supported by Synergy and happy to pass on any information to you about it and our platform (Moodle 2.1 - I think)

Gideon - would you like to add that as an issue in the tracker for the Grid format as well? http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB/component/11231
How?
Log in to the tracker -make an account if you haven't logged in before - then click "create issue" and type in the details with your screenshot of the problem you have with the Grid format.
Our new installation of Moodle 2.1 (now upgraded to 2.2) is acting strangely on Internet Explorer 8 in school. Pages using the grid format display the following error:
Internet Explorer cannot open the site... Operation aborted
Clicking Ok and then refresh sometimes solves the problem although the block menu is missing.
Examining source code, there appears to be )) after the </html> tag. What's even more strange is that the same page does not display the )) if the source code is viewed in chrome.
I've also noticed the problem disappears when format is returned to something other than grid.
Cheers
thought updating to latest version (oct 11) would fix it but this brings up a database error so had to revert to previous version.
looking at source again, it appears that ie8 isn't loading the whole page. that is probably why the side navigation menu (i called it block menu in earlier post by mistake) isn't appearing until 'turn editing on' is clicked.
Hi llywelyn,
We have made some major updates to the code today. Please grab the latest from https://github.com/PukunuiAustralia/moodle-courseformat_grid and your issues should dissapear.
This latest version no longer generates errors with debug turned on. It has been tested in Moodle 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2.

Hello... it might not be related, but i've installed this new version (today's 1/17/2012) and now I have hundreds of lines of code before the page displays, and several errors, being the most relevant:
Warning: file_put_contents(E:\MoodleData/cache/lang/en/core_install.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in E:\WWW\Moodle\lib\moodlelib.php on line 5828 List of available languages
Is this something you have experienced before?
Moodle 2.1.2+ on IIS7.5, Win 2008 R2, Google Chrome, Microsoft SQL 2008R2

Hello all,
The problem with the cache was fixed, and I can see the Grid View, but unfortunately it makes all my (in topic) pictures disappeared, and for some reason, it keeps all topics as one at the bottom of the page...
Julian, if you are interested in seeing the problem, I could re-install it for you to take a look.

Hello,
The part of the problem I had was related to a JS that I was running on every page, that somehow interfered with thiscourse format. After stopping my JS, the grid works, except still does not show the pictures. I found http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-3231 which is a patch, but not up to date, and I was wondering if this was supposed to be part of the updated version (1/17/2012) or not.
Thank you,
Carlos
I just downloaded this via GitHub and the resulting folder is named PukunuiAustralia_moodle-courseformat_grid.
I would imagin this could be a 'recipe for disaster' if someone downloaded this and extracted the folder to moodle/course/format/
The lang/en/format_grid.php is an indication that 'grid' is the correct name of the plugin so why mess with main folder name as it is critical this is correct from the start.
Cheers

Hello Mary,
I thought about it and I did change the name of the folder to "Grid" before running "notifications". My previous message regarding the problems with the grid occurred having the right name on the folder.
Thank you,
Carlos
Hi
Haven't tried the latest update yet but have found out the problem the the 'operation aborted' error. IE8 needed some updates that hadn't been done on all computers. It now appears to working fine.
