  Thanks Kris. I double checked the plugins and they are all there. All the flex plugins are complaining about the same requirement as well as the Moodlerooms framework.
  
  I didn't do the initial Moodle install and am getting the version number from the version.php file in Moodle. I guess that file is reporting correctly??

  Lisa, my apologies, I think I read your original message too quickly. You are correct - the issue lies with the fact that you're using 2.2.2+ instead of 2.3. It's highly recommended that you stay up-to-date with the latest stable version as there are numerous security fixes included in each release, the details of which are made public shortly thereafter. We won't be releasing a new version that downgrades the "requires" version, but you are free to make those changes yourself if you choose to - you'll find that information in the version.php of each plugin.

  Hi,
  I've noted that this plugin uses yui2 libraries.
  Do note that moodle version 2.4 (in development) has moved from using yui2 to yui2in3 as described by MDL-34741.
  Here is a link to using yui2in3 : http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/yui/yui-yui2.html

  I've installed Flexpage according to instructions on a new Moodle 2.3.1 site - no errors. However, when I go to add/create my first flexpage in the course editor I have 2 problems:
  
  1. The Add and Manage Tabs only show up when I hover over that area of the screen (under the "Default flexpage (Change me) dropdown.
  2. When I select "add flexpages", or Manage Flexpage settings, none of the Save changes buttons work (only the Cancel buttons works).

  Hi Peter - Flexpage is only released for Moodle 2.2. A version for Moodle 2.3 is not yet available.

  Everything seemed to be going fine with the Flexpage installation. So I decided to push the envelope of my experience, and try to add the Flexpage theme to my Zebra theme. First, just out of curiosity, I switched to the Flexpage theme. OK, Not bad. So, feeling brave, I followed the directions and made the changes to the Zebra files.
  Then I went to change the theme back to Zebra to see how things looked. That's when I got this message:
  
  Server error
  The website encountered an error while retrieving http:/mysite.org/vle/theme/index.php?device=default&sesskey=RlHs178iNR. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
  Here are some suggestions:
  Reload this webpage later.
  HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.
  
  I have no clue what this means. Everything seems fine if I leave the theme as Flexpage. But I can't change to the Zebra theme to which I added the Flexpage coding.
  
  I'm running Moodle 2.2.3 (Build: 20120514).
  
  Please advise.

  A bit more info on the above Zebra Theme problem. I tried clearing the them cache and got this error:
  
  The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.torahpractic.org/vle/theme/index.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
  Here are some suggestions:
  Reload this webpage later.
  HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.
  
  I don't know if that helps. Frankly, I don't remember making a change to the index.php file.
  
  Thanks for all your help.

  Ignore the above two posts. The problem was a missing comma in the config file. When I added 'flexpage' to the sheets array, I neglected to add a comma after the previous entry . In my defense, the documentation makes no comment about this. Just saying--for us newbies.

  Well, I messaged too soon. The above problems were resolved. But when I went to change the format of one of my previous courses, I got this error:
  
  The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.torahpractic.org/vle/course/view.php?id=2. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
  
  Any ideas?

  Here's a bit more info on the Flexpage format error. When I created a new course, instead of trying to change the format of a previous course, I got this error:
  The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.torahpractic.org/vle/course/view.php?id=21. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
  Frustrating as hell.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Same result when I switched to the Flexpage theme (not the modified Zebra theme).
  The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.torahpractic.org/vle/course/view.php?id=26. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

  Kris,
  
  I'm getting notice, warnings and an error from Flexpage.
  
  I've installed Moodle 2.2.5 latest (from .zip file on Moodle website as of 19-10-2012) on PHP 5.4.4 (with Postgres). I've configured it to allow course themes:
  Site administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme settings
  Theme designer mode - ticked
  Allow course themes - ticked
  Allow category themes - ticked
  Allow theme changes in the UR - ticked
  
  I've created 1 course. I've installed Flexpage - 1 course format, 2 blocks,1 theme, 1 local, as linked from http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Flexpage.
  
  Once I changed the course to use flexpage format, I'm getting these from /course/edit.php?id=2&category=1&returnto=category:

  Is there a timeline on updating Flexpage for Moodle 2.3. We are planning to upgrade to that version in Jaunuary and would very much like to continue this functionality. It seems to install correctly, but after that it doesn't work.

  @Geoffrey: Yes, we will have an update by the end of December. Typically you will find updates to our plugins roughly 4-6 months after the newest Core release.

  @Meilich and Peter: My apologies, I was not notified that you had made a comment to this plugin...
  
  @Meilech - Is debugging enabled and set to "All"? It looks like your host is not displaying the full error message. Are you able to get that from them?
  
  @Peter - It looks like FlexPage may have a problem with its cache. It's completely safe to remove records from the {format_flexpage_cache} - what happens when you remove all caching for that course?
