    Nice Format, I Just got a couple of suggestions for next releases:

    - You could enable icons for the topics, like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g569pnylwwrh8xs/suggestion.png?dl=0
    - You could allow change the font color of each topic.
    - Show the progress of student.

    Hello,
    This looks nice, but I'm having trouble finding where to control the colours inside each masonry section. I can change the border colours no problem. Could it be a problem with Moodle 2.6.1 (Build: 20140113)?

    No problems here (Moodle 2.8 and 2.9). You can change the color of a section when you edit the section (turn editing on, click on the edit icon of the section, so you can change the background color like in the last screenshot proviced).

    bonjour,
    Pose de gros problèmes d'affichage sous moodle 2.9 bien que l'installation soit valide. Page blanche ou juste un bandeau présent sur le haut de l'écran.

    Hi Renaat -
    Just installed the theme in M2.9.1 but I am getting the following error after assigning the format to a course -
    Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$format_masonry_defaultbackgroundcolor in /var/www/moodle/course/format/masonry/lib.php on line 144

    I forgot to mention that I have not changed any of the settings for the format.

    Hello Mark,

    thanks for the remarks. I'm traveling for the moment, so I do not have a lot of time to review the code. I disabled support for version 2.9 for the moment (so others will not have these errors). The moment I'm back home, I'll look into it.

    Does this plugin enable YUI's Tablet Magazine format? http://yui-masonry.appspot.com/demo/tumblelog.html

    I like very much this course format but note there is a problem with labels presented on homepage.
    The labels are not rendered and an big white space appears at the place they shoud be.
    Tested on Moodle 2.9.1.

    What is the theme you use?
    In some themes it is necessary to add or remove some css code to have desired effects.

    Hello

    Using 3.0.2+ I have installed this using the Pioneer theme and also the Clean Theme - but absolutely nothing happens. I must be doing something wrong. I would appreciate some advice.

    Hello Andrew,

    It is a bold statement that absolutely nothing happens. I'm sure a lot of things happen in the background, and most important a javascript error. Can you post the output of the console tab (press F12 in your browser and choose console [Chrome: Ctrl+Shift+J Firefox: Ctrl+Shift+K, Internet Explorer: Ctrl+2]), so I have some more information?

    This seems like a great format to test. Do you have plans for updating for Moodle 3.1, or this plugin works with that version too?
