    Hi, any reason the menu when in weekly format doesn't show the default section title with month/day - ie just shows "week 1", "week 2" etc?

    Hi,
    Is there any version for M3.1 ? Actually the last version of this block is not compatible at all with Moodle 3.1 :o(
    Yui seems problematic with the tree view.

    Bump for Moodle 3.1 support. Is this likely?

    I like the new interface here. I notice Course Menu has not been updated for 226 days 7 hours as of today. Does anyone know if this will be updated for 3.2? I'm just starting to think of the actions I need to work on for an upgrade.

    Hi Alex,
    Tree view still doesn't work with version '2016093000' on a 3.1.1 version of Moodle :o(
    No expand/collapse...

    Derek,
    I've got « An empty string was passed to "getElementById ()" » when I try to expand a tree branch.
    I am surprised to be the only one with this issue...

    Patrick and Derek,

    I got the same issue on a clean install of Moodle 3.1.4. Did you find a solution?

    Rob.

    The latest version https://moodle.org/plugins/download.php/12630/block_course_menu_moodle31_2016093000.zip has __MACOSX folder inside. Can you please reupload the plugin without it.

    Hi George,
    It changes nothing at all...

    Thanks Rob. Happy to see that I'm not the only one who experiment trouble.

    Moodle 3.3+
    Course menu version 2016093000

    Getting this error:

    pix_url is deprecated. Use image_url for images and pix_icon for icons.

    line 244 of /course/view.php: call to core_renderer->header()

    What do people think about course menu at the moment? Does Boost make it redundant? I'm not yet convinced.

    Rob, George or Patrick: any news??

    Has development on this module been abandoned? We are also having problems with it on a Moodle 3.1 installation, the block does not show a retractable tree structure anymore and basically lists all contents of a site, defeating what I believe was its original intent...

    Is there any chance you could update for 3.8? We have used this successfully through 3.5, but in 3.8 it breaks the activity chooser.

    Hello Brian,

    We don't have any plans yet to upgrade Course Menu to Moodle 3.8 or 3.9. Since boost has appeared for Moodle the Navigation block included in it has replaced the Course Menu.
