    Olá, Mariuxi
    As áreas de blocos são definidas no tema, então isso vai depender do seu tema.
    Infelizmente não tenho um código CSS que deixe o plugin com aquela cara, mas sei que não precisa de muita coisa.
    Se você definir a imagem do curso é possível que ele mostre ali também.

    Daniel, thanks for this plugin. Is it possible to feature the course in a horizontal bottom and not vertical-left/right?

    Hi, Moses
    It depends on your theme layout/css and block regions.

    Hola, por qué el bloque se muestra como lista y no como recuadros. Los cursos son un listado de vínculos y no como la imagen que ponen en el plugin.

    Thanks for this plugin. Some basic css to get the courses to be horizontal is below. Should be an option in the block config

    .card-text .container-fluid.coursebox{
    padding-left: 2rem;
    padding-right: 2rem;
    }
    .card-text.content {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    justify-content: space-between;
    }

    Hi, I am using this with Adaptable theme and Moodle 4.2.2+ version. I am getting the courses vertically and not horizontally on my dashboard. Any way to resolve that? I added the code shared by Kristian in Custom CSS of Adaptable theme settings, but it didn't work.
