New plugin: Fullscreen toggle button for hiding side blocks

Hi everyone, we have released a new local plugin which adds a Fullscreen toggle button to the main content area in Moodle.

The Fullscreen toggle button allows you to instantly hide all side blocks in one action and expand the content area.  This could be useful on pages where you need a wide content area e.g. grade reports, embedded files, SCORM pages, etc.

The current screenmode (Fullscreen or Normal) is stored in the database as a user preference so will persist when visiting other pages.

This only works with the Clean theme or themes based on bootstrapbase.

Please see https://moodle.org/plugins/view/local_fullscreen for more info and download links


I hope you find this useful
