ATTENTION

Dash 2.0 is a significant update and some post-upgrade work might be required, depending on your usage of Dash. This affects the following areas:

  • The appearance options of the block (e.g. the background gradient or the border).
  • The path to dashboards has changed, i.e. you'll need to update your menu items if you have linked to them.
  • Also using Video Time? Please wait for a compatible version of Video Time or apply the following changes manually to the files in videotime_sessions_data_source.php and videotime_sessions_data_source.php, both at line 46:
- use local_dash\local\dash_framework\structure\course_table;
+ use dashaddon_courses\local\dash_framework\structure\course_table;
  • A new tier has been introduced called "Plus" for customers that specifically want to use Dash to create course catalogs.
  • A new tier has been introduced called "Premium" which currently includes the new learning path widget and the developer addon.
