    Nice course format. Very clean looking. I'm running into a problem though. When I enable this theme, it seems to not work with auto backups. My backup log indicates that this course is "unfinished" for the backup. As soon as I change to a different format, the backup is successful. I also tried to do a manual backup of the course using the Board format and got the following error message -- error/setting_invalid_ui_label. Any ideas why this is happening? My Moodle version is 3.1 and everything is up-to-date.

    I've noticed a new version of the plugin up on github (2016031900) - is this ready to be used, and if so could you put an official release up here as well? Thanks!

    Same as Beatriz, I have tried group widths set at 33%, 33%, 33% and have tried 50%, 50%, also with docking the blocks, nothing worked. The groups are appearing vertically, where as they need to be horizontal. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Ok, I'm using 3.1.1 with the Gourmet theme. Perhaps it's Gourmet that's preventing the groups from lining up horizontally. I'm testing with 2 and 3 groups only, trying 33% for just 2 groups and it still stacks them vertically. I did clear the cache, still no luck. Do you know of any particular theme settings that may be the culprit?

    I do not have access to this theme. You might want to contact its developers. They might have the course format hard coded in the theme files. As it is a proprietary theme, you might need to get the developers permission before you can alter the code.

    You don't need to edit the theme - I figured it out. Set each group to 33% and include ONE item per group to get a three-column layout. Seems illogical but it works!

    So I use 41 Topics, but these format seems to only allow me to set widths for the first 15... so I'm confused. For example, Topic 1 is 100%, but Topics 2 & 3 / 4 & 5 should be side-by-side (each set to 50%). I can only put them side-by-side (as Gayle points out) if I include ONE item per group. So by the time I reach Topic 15, I'm out of luck... The 'number of sections per group' seems to only work Vertically, not Horizontally. Anyway around this?
