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.

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.

That is a substantial ask and would take me quite a bit of time to help you to do so. I'm self employed, and therefore I would want to be remunerated for my time to do so. If this is acceptable then please drop me a PM and we can take things from there.

I don't understand what you're trying to tell me.

When I "Show completion" in the course, the percentage calculation considered all activities in the section, even those that are hidden.
Shouldn't it consider only the ones visible?
Thanks in advance.

Yes -> https://github.com/gjbarnard/moodle-format_grid/commit/b65fd110fcaac5f9fe1499cedad5feb8db915b57.

Our users have noticed that there is no option to indent activities and resources. I know Moodle removed this, but then reintroduced the option in 4.2 for Topics format.
Do you plan to re-introduce indentation of activities and resources into Grid?
Many thanks,

As I already have your contact details, I'll send you a message.

I'll add in the indentation functionality only if paid to do so.
Kind regards,

It could simply be that the bug only manifests itself when using a version of format not designed to operate with the given version of Moodle. Thus something that wouldn't be necessarily stated as 'fixed' but rather that I simply would have made the Grid for Moodle 4.4 version work with in Moodle 4.4 in the first instance, as the previous major version is used as the development starting point for the next and as such 'bugs' at that stage are in reality migration issues to be overcome. The end result being an initial release with one statement along the lines of 'Release candidate version for Moodle 4.4.'. It is only after that, that I'm liable to state specific changes to that initial configuration state, i.e. baseline upon which each major version is improved and specific issues rectified. Therefore if your issue was an issue at the initial development stage then I'm likely to have rectified it without a specific reference in the list of changes, though there could be a specific commit for it.
Given the disparity and operation of a version of the format on a version of Moodle that it is not designed, tested or specified upon, I won't even entertain spending time investigating a possible flaw in the format until the version requirements have been satisfied.

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.
