1.8 - problem moving topics around in course

Since upgrading to 1.8, I have been having problems in moving topic sections around in the course using the 'moving cross'. I move topics around on the page (and they automatically renumber themselves etc), but when I come back to the course page later they have re-organised themselves - sometimes very arbitrarily.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way around it, to make topics stay where you want them on the page?

many thanks

jayne

Hi Jayne,

Have you enabled Ajax in Administration > Miscellaneous > Experimental? If so, try disabling it.

I have the same problem.  We like the AJAx feature.  Other things seem to work much better with it.  We found that when you drag a topic if you only move it up or down one place at a top (i.e. I want to move a topic from spto 12 to 10.  I first need to drag it down to 11 then drag it down to 10).  It seems it still needs to work how it did withough the Ajax one place a at time.

Has anyone seen a fix to this?

I recognize this problem in moodle 1.9.3 as well. The difference is, that the admin is able to move the topics around, but the trainers are not. When a trainer tries to move the topics, they re-organise themselves exactly as you mention in your description. For this reason, the problem must be related to the role settings. But I can't imagine which setting is involved. Maybe there exists another reason.

Has someone find out, why the topics re-organise themselves?

Thank you in anticipation!
