Page format

Part of set Page Course Format.
the "page format" is a very flexible course format allowing building a hierarchical course with nested pages organisation and a totally floxeible way of compositing the course with blocs and activities placed anywhere in the three-or-less-columns layout. Additionnally it proposes a new richer way to integrate activities in course, with "alternate views" that changes the historical [ "icon" + Link ] display. Some standard activities will have some alternate available views, and we still receive suggestions about how could some activites have an "enriched" display in the course pages. The page format is now maintained by ActiveProLearn (France)

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PLUGIN ARCHIVE AVAILABILITY : due to the large amount of plugins supported, it is NOT affordable for us to update moodle.org packages. Please use the Source Control urls to our github to get plugins archives

This format has been used in big size project in France (Perform@nce, Ministry of Education with Intel support, is adopted in Rectorat de Strasbourg and recently the france southern region Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur for secondary education.

Provides several enhancements over the historical 1.9 flexpage version :

  • Easy move of widgets all around the layout
  • Easy page duplication
  • Easy page reorder with graphical treeview
  • Enhanced access control : Public external access pages
  • Enhanced access control : Teachers reserved pages (hidden but published)
  • Enhanced access control : Students published pages
  • Enhanced access control : Activity score conditional page
  • Layout enhancement : Page override by another activity module 
  • Individualisation : User specific pages
  • Individualisation : Group specific pages
  • Individualisation : With page_module new structure, indivualize each widget per user (expermiental)
  • Page side comment pages fot teachers
Strong dependencies: 
  • You NEED the block page_module being installed for the page format to work
  • You NEED customscripts to be activated, and provided customscripts to be settled
  • Standard Moodle have a protection to not set a module in several sections of the course (not consistant in standard course formats). Page format needs this restriction to be overriden. A singleline impact point patch is provided in the distribution. 
Weaker dependencies:
  • You SHOULD choose one of block page_tracker (Learning Stations)
  • The original pagemenu course module is OBSOLETE and ils NOT any more maintained.
What other components are Page format aware:
  • The use_stats (block) and trainingsessions (report) know about page format. They can provide a course report time tracking presenting the guessed course structure based on page format organisation.
  • The (future publication, based in checklist) learningtimecheck module and report are aware of page format, and will propose to work in a page or page tree scope (in addition to section and course scope as for standard formats)

    Thanks for sharing this plugin with the community. Let's get the dependencies worked out and create the set before approving this. Also, I think screenshots would be helpful if you have the time. Peace - Anthony

    Is the __goodies folder necessary?

    Have you done any testing on Moodle 2.6? Any reason to think it would not work in 2.6?

    I may mark these plugins as working for 2.6 as I think they will make a good testing scenario for dealing with dependencies. Peace - Anthony

    Am testing under 2.6. Slight changes to do to cope with block_manager method signature changes. Cheers
