    Let's say it is 95% compatible with Moodle 3.1. I have seen some small issues in different Moodle installations, (yes before a new release there is extensive testing). so I cannot release a stable version yet. One of these days I plan to post a new development version on Github to collect additional feedback.

    Moreover, the upgrade involves also a move from YUI into AMD and this takes more time than I thought.

    Is there a solution for the textfield problem? Textfields are not showing in this course format.

    Hello Sebastian,

    I only find textfields as part of the feedback module (mod/feedback/item/textfield/textfield_form.php). Are you having problems with the feedback module text fields in this course format? Can you send me a screenshot as I can not reproduce this error?

    Indeed, the label got some update so it is displayed as a block. I will update the plugin soon to fix this issue.
    THX for the report.

    Error on 3.0 Moodle version:

    Hi Renaat,

    css for the label is working! Great Job sorridente

    But there is another problem in conjunction with Eduhub Theme.
    I made a screenshot () to show you the problem. The settings menu is flickering when there are links behind.
    When i comment out the following line in masonry style.css flickering stops.

    #page-course-view-masonry .sitetopic .section li.activity:hover,
    #page-course-view-masonry .course-content .section li.activity:hover {
    /* opacity:0.6;
    filter:alpha(opacity=60); */
    }

    On every update, my changes are lost, so can you please solve this in the next version?

    Hi Sebastian

    Thanks for the info. I will have a look at it for the next version.

    Perhaps a solution would be to add some lines to your theme css file, after an update your changes would not be lost...
    #page-course-view-masonry .sitetopic .section li.activity:hover,
    #page-course-view-masonry .course-content .section li.activity:hover { opacity:1 !important;}

    Hello, the format presents error when performing a backup in Moodle "error / setting_invalid_ui_label". How to solve the error?

    Hello John,

    can you give me your Moodle and plugin version?

    In an effort to reproduce the error, I added a new scenario to the acceptance testing of the plugin:
    Given the following "courses" exist:
    | fullname | shortname | format | coursedisplay | numsections |
    | Course 1 | C1 | masonry | 0 | 4 |
    And I log in as "admin"
    And I am on site homepage
    And I follow "Course 1"
    And I backup "Course 1" course using this options:
    | Confirmation | Filename | test_backup.mbz |
    Then I should see "Restore"

    But I do not see any error:

    $ moodle-plugin-ci behat

    hello developers, very good this plugin, I've been using it for a while.
    I installed version 3.5 (ie, 3.4+ (2018111801)) and when I add an image to the first section, it does not appear and the rest of the sections look bad.
    Best regards.
    Verónica.

    Hello Veronica.

    There is a problem tracker to report these issues (preferably with screenshots).


    Greetings.

    Hello,
    I would like to use masonry topics format, however when I choose it for my course settings, what I see is far from the screenshots shown here. I am using Moodle 4.0, installed on a windows 10 localhost, opened with chrome and the theme installed is Academi. Could it be a compatibility issue with one of those?

    Hello Isabel,

    Moodle 4+ changed a lot of things, also the icons for modules. This course format falls back on the monochrome icons in version 4.

    If you doubt about the combability with the Academi theme, enable the allow theme changes by url (https://docs.moodle.org/400/en/Allow_theme_change_by_URL) and check how the course looks in Boost or Classic.
