its functionaly in 4.2 and top
Thank you for the plugin.
I use this plugin in Moodle 4.3. For the section that has restrict access, whatever option I choose (hidden ou not) by clicking on the eye icon, nobody can see activities of the section. Even admin cannot see the list of activities. The only option is activate "edition mode". But we cannot inform our students about the conditions anymore.
Can you confirm that feature is not possible with this course format?
Best regards

Si pudiera brindarme alguna guía quedraría muy agradecido.
The version 2022020801 has been shown again.
The most recent versions, I didn't try them in 4.0 or 4.1. I don't know if it's functional.
It's correct, in 4.5, it's not made text between on the buttons, for now. About the section Zero, it's added thinking if its necessary one section about the buttons or no.
Do you have a screen with the error?
I use the last version in 4.5, and it's working good!
The method core_courseformat\base::set_section_number() has been deprecated, please use set_sectionnum() instead.
After that, the sections after the main one just don't appear, only a prev/next/jump to navigation is available:

Can you create the issue?

"Fatal error: Cannot make non static method core_courseformat\base::set_sectionnum() static in class format_buttons in .../course/format/buttons/lib.php on line 320"
https://github.com/jrangelardila/moodle-format_buttons/issues/61
The change was upload, would do you confirm if working in your moodle version?
If not function, What moodle version do you use?
Thanks!
