I couldn't rename the tab names in Moodle 2.1.2 so I replaced line 108 in format.php
from
$sectionname = get_section_name($course, $thissection);
to
if(empty ($thissection->name))
$sectionname = get_section_name($course, $thissection);
else
$sectionname = $thissection->name;
And can now change the tab names.
Is there any intent to update this format to Moodle 2.2, 2,3, 2.4 and 2.5?
Cheers,
Gareth
There are only two drawbacks I have found and causes me much trouble:
-- Sometimes I need to change the format of the course to test something or to draw items to another section. When I do this all the proprieties of each section are deleted. It should be very good if this information were stocked somewhere and restored when I swich back to tabs format.
-- It's very ennoying that I can't draw items from one section to another.
I hope it could be hepful. Thanks and regards.
