Moodle Plugins directory: Grid Format | Moodle.org
Grid Format
A modular and visual course format. Hides all topics and creates a grid of icons (one for each topic) with short titles. Clicking on an icon brings up the content from the corresponding topic in a "lightbox" style display.
Support:
The format comes with NO support. Please see the 'Support' section in 'Readme.md' file that comes with the format. This is because the format is complex and I regret that I don't have the time / resources to freely assist with questions pertaining to specific enhancements / changes / knowledge improvement.
I will investigate genuine bugs and issue fixes in a timescale set by myself. When reporting issues you MUST clearly state the full version and release of both Moodle and the Grid format format as contained within their 'version.php' files - if not it takes me longer to figure out, often resulting in me asking for the details anyway and slowing the process of solving your problem down. It really helps to upload and describe in detail the issue you are having on the 'Course formats' forum and to avoid a conversation here, please use this forum for issues / questions.
Screen cast:
More to follow as new icons have been added....
Privacy API support starts with V3.3.0.5 for M3.3 and V3.4.0.4 for M3.4 where the API has been implemented in the minor release of Moodle.

When you enter a topic, the information that apeears in initial page before the cards (General, Section zero, which contains annoucements forum by defautl) also appears at the end of every topic when you enter the cards.
Is it possible to workaround this? The students and teachers are getting confused.
Thanks.
Thanks for the report. It is indeed a bug and I'll fix it as soon as I can. For now I've hidden the releases.
Did you test on a test server first? If you've upgraded your production server, then you can either go back to the backup you made before installing the update or wait for the new release when it happens.
Kind regards,
Gareth
I reinstalled Grid Format
Everything works, but I've since noticed that my titles don't display completely.
Do you know if this is normal and if something can be done?
Thank you very much.
May or not be normal, can't tell from your words. Something may or may not be able to be done. Please read the readme.md file about posting on the Course and Course Format's forums.

/*With the grid format - stops the title from truncating, instead it wraps into a new line and sets this to a min width of 2 rows of text*/
.h4.text-truncate {
white-space: wrap;
}
.grid-section .card-header {
min-height: 5rem;
}
Just upgraded to Moodle 4.5.6 from 4.1.
Theme: Boost Union - v4.5-r24
Courseformat: Grid - 405.1.4
I can no longer add sections to the course. There used to be a setting in gridformat for it. That has gone, and the option to add a section from the bottom of the page when in edit mode has also disappeared.
Any suggestions? My workaround right now is th change format to weeks, add the required sections and the change back to grid.
Kind regards

The ability to add sections is there. Same functionality as the Custom format.
Kind regards,

There is no setting, rather that the '+' icon appears at certain points in the course when editing on the course page. Please post screen shots / description on https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=47 of where you are looking.

Is there any indication of when versions supporting officially 5.1 (https://github.com/gjbarnard/moodle-format_grid/issues/251) and 5.2 will be released?
