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.

Could any one help me with adding check boxes to the grids. Because I want students to know which sections they have completed. Thank you.
Please could you make a post on: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=47

I have moodle 2.9 version .I installed in your grid course format plugin.
i got fatal error when i created new course.
The error is
"Fatal error : Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in
F:\xampp\htdocs\test\moodle_29\course\format\grid\lib.php on line 886" .
But course was created.Its major issue in your plugin.
Please don't mine .if you fix this issue it would be great for us.
Thanks,

An interesting idea. Would you like to fund the anticipated several days of my time to make this work correctly with the existing functionality?
Kind regards,
Gareth
I really love this format, but since the last upgrade it is acting a little strange.
When I try to add or change a picture in the grid format on the course page, it links back to my other site which is in another directory on the same URL.
First directory is WWW.mysite.com and Moodle is in www.mysite.com/moodle
Any ideas would be most welcome as I don't want to abandon this great looking plugin.
Thanks for any light you can shed.

I installed this theme and I can't update an image like main image in the grill.
There are some restriction? about... the pixels? about the size or about... i don't know! But the true is that I can't update a picture.
I select Options in the "blox" > Upload an image > I select the image or drag and drop > Delete image = NO > Save changes
And... the result is nothing. No changes.
¿Some idea? Thanks and congratulations for this idea for the courses
I have no idea why it is not working for you with this course format from your description. Have you checked the permissions as stated in the readme file? After dragging and dropping the image are you saving the changes? Please post version and screen shots of the issue on the 'Courses and course formats' forum.
Kind regards,
Gareth
Sorry! I was all in the moorning with this problem and just now... when I writed you... WOW! I take the answer!
For another people if I can help you -> The problem is than you must to send the picture in just the same size. Don't upload a image more bigger or smaller. JUST the size.
If you like to see the size, one option is use a develop browser. I used Firefox Developer and I saw that the image must to be 210x140 px.
Sorry for this Gareth. Thanks for all!
Thank you for choosing the Grid format.
I have no plans to change it as it works well as it is. Adding anything else will almost certainly confuse things.
Microsoft has a patent over the ribbon and as such anybody replicating its sort of functionality would be a patent infringement.
Kind regards,
Gareth
