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.
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.

Screenshots
we really like your course format, but have a slight problem because of our theme.
We have a restricted size for our pages and we're using the dock. Now when blocks are docked, the dock icons are displayed over the grid's active section once the section is called up.
Is there any possibility to have a section always pushed to the foreground, so it will be displayed over the dock's tabs?
Many thanks in advance.
This is a z-index issue. The Grid format uses a z-index of 1 so that contained content does not have issues (such as video) this cannot be changed. The solution I suspect will be to react to the dock being there and shrink the width of the shadebox so there is no conflict. Please post a screen shot on https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=47 so I can be sure of the problem. Along with the exact version of Moodle, Grid format and theme you are using.

I've made a new post in the forum: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=269711
I hope the screenshot is good enough, I just didn't want to add a huge file.
When you download the format you get an archive file containing one folder called 'grid' this contains many files. Extract the contents of the archive such that you have the folder 'grid' and its contents. Copy that folder - 'grid' - to the '/course/format' folder of your Moodle installation such that you will then have the folder structure '/course/format/grid/' and the files for the format within it.

i had installed format grid plugin in 2.6 and 2.7.
When click on a section grid, in 2.6 a lightbox "window" is showed, but in 2.7 user is redirected to selected section.
In edition mode, javascript and ajax buttons work fine...
In Firebug i can see that javascript files are loaded. No errors. And javascript is enabled in browser.
Maybe, is there any settings to enable this?
Thanks in advance
That's because the M2.7 course has the layout setting as 'Show one section per page' rather than 'Show all sections on one page'. Please see: https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Course_formats#.22Show_only_one_section.22

SVG files are not accepted. How did you manage to bypass: 'accepted_types' => array('gif', 'jpe', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'png') on the image form?

Thanks, and I apologize for my english.
To be honest I do not know without spending time figuring it out, which I do not have. You could ask on the forums for help.
Kind regards,
Gareth
