Courses and course formats

Hello,

I've released updated 'stable' versions of the Grid course format as follows:

Release 404.1.3 for Moodle 4.4 version 2024042200.00 (Build: 20240422) and above within the 4.4 branch until the next release:

• https://moodle.org/plugins/format_grid/404.1.3/33291
• https://github.com/gjbarnard/moodle-format_grid/releases/tag/V404.1.3

Release 403.1.5 for Moodle 4.3 version 2023100900.00 (Build: 20231009) and above within the 4.3 branch until the next release:

• https://moodle.org/plugins/format_grid/403.1.5/33290
• https://github.com/gjbarnard/moodle-format_grid/releases/tag/V403.1.5

Release 402.2.6 for Moodle 4.2 version 2023042400.00 (Build: 20230424) and above within the 4.2 branch until the next release:

• https://moodle.org/plugins/format_grid/402.2.6/33292
• https://github.com/gjbarnard/moodle-format_grid/releases/tag/V402.2.6

Release 401.2.6 for Moodle 4.1 version 2022112800.00 (Build: 20221128) and above within the 4.1 branch until the next release:

• https://moodle.org/plugins/format_grid/401.2.6/33289
• https://github.com/gjbarnard/moodle-format_grid/releases/tag/V401.2.6

with:

1. Fix 'Orphaned sections problem when adding sections', a regression caused by 'Use section anchors in links when editing - pt 2' - #223.
2. Add site default and course 'sectiontitleingridbox' and 'sectionbadgeingridbox' settings, to show the section title and section badges inside the grid box respectively.  Both 'Yes' by default.

Always install on a test server to confirm that the format does what you want it to do before updating or installing on a production server!  And as these releases could contain bugs and so I strongly recommend that you check on a test server first!  Not sure how to set one up?  Then look at the 'Installer packages' on https://download.moodle.org/releases/latest/. Ensure that you have multiple backups of all data before using.  Please report any issues. i.e. 'bugs' with this release ONLY here.  Before doing so please read 'Reporting issues' on the 'Information' tab on the course format 'Settings' under 'Site administration' -> 'Plugins' -> 'Course formats' -> 'Grid'.

If you find this post useful, then please mark it so.

And finally a request from me.  Please kindly don't ask when there will be a version for Moodle 4.5.  I won't be able to given you an answer as each upgrade faces different problems.  One will be developed in the fullness of time, but there is no fixed date.

Thank you,

Gareth
