Hidden Topics and Collapsible Topics Plugin

Hidden Topics and Collapsible Topics Plugin

Hello,

I'm using Moodle 3.8.2 and the Collapsible Topics plugin 3.8.

When setting the "Hidden Sections" setting under a course whose "Course Format" is set to "Collapsible Topics format", the student is no longer able to collapse and uncollapse topics which are not hidden.

I posted about this earlier but was unable to delete that previous topic. I have since recorded a video of the behaviour and uploaded it in HD so you can see the behaviour: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnxN-ismKeetgYtiX51Go3OUzNbtlA?e=oTkN7O

Since having this issue, I thought it might have to do with my installation or database. I full deleted the database and all files related to Moodle. I did a clean install and only installed the Collapsible Topics plugin 3.8. Before doing this, I purged all caches as well.

Can anyone replicate this issue? If not, is there any explanation for this?

I am not sure.  I use "Collapsed Topics."  What I notice in your video is that your format says "Collapsible Topics format."  So I wonder which Collapsed Topics plugin you are using.  Maybe Gareth, the developer of Collapsed Topics, will know.  I will include a screenshot of what I see in my Moodle.

Well, I don't use that one. This is not to pass judgment on what Jean-Roch Meurisse has done. But I cannot help you.

I use Gareth's https://moodle.org/plugins/format_topcoll

Thanks for the feedback, Rick.

I used this one as it is recommended and integrated with the Fordson theme.

Okay. I use Boost, but I can understand that some plugins work better with certain themes. Fordson is a really nice theme, too.
