Tiles format
Course formats ::: format_tiles
Maintained by David Watson
A course format which displays course topics as "Tiles", in a grid rather than as a list. When clicked, tile content is displayed under the tile with an animated transition. The layout adapts to different screen sizes and orientations. Within each tile, activities can also be set to display as "sub-tiles". For each tile, the teacher can pick an icon from a predefined set, or upload a background photo.

I used your plugin in a 4.5dev Moodle with PHP 8.2.13 installed. Due to the fact that I have enabled warnings, I got a few errors that I had to fix before using the plugin. I also created a pull request for these changes for your master branch.
Best regards, Stephan
When using the experimental feature in Moodle 4.4+ nothing on the left Course index is showing.
Use course index format_tiles | usecourseindex
Using Boost Union and LearnR template.
Thanks for this wonderful layout.
When I want to register the plugin, I also get an error. Your tiles plugin is not yet registered with the plugin developer:
Exception - Too few arguments to function format_tiles\registration_manager::make_curl_request(), 2 passed in [dirroot]/course/format/tiles/editor/register.php on line 68 and exactly 3 expected
The Experimental feature is now working and showing the index in the left column.
Unfortunately, filters only seem to work when a tile is loaded the first time, but do not seem to be applied when the tile is clicked for a second time. Filters are also not applied to Pages that are opened (in pop-up mode). Did you call the format_text() function on these?
Thanks again.
we are using the course format Tile and with the recent update you have to active the feature "Use course index" in the plugin. Before this feature was by default active and now it's tagged as Experimental feature. Our question ist how experimental it is? Are there any performance issues?
Thanks,
Birgit
Exception : Class "format_base" not found
comment resoudre ce probleme merci.
Thanks for this great plugin!
Using the latest version on Moodle 4.4 we noticed that changing an activity title to a string containing characters like &, <, or > replaces theses with their HTML equivalents, i.e. displays "&". The issue appears when exiting edit mode.
It is possible that the tile format allowed for stealth activities, meaning that the tile could be available but not visible on the course page. To organize the course content.
Thanks

I am installing format_tiles plugin in moodle 4.4 but getting error after installing
Callback before_standard_html_head in format_tiles component should be migrated to new hook callback for core\hook\output\before_standard_head_html_generation
I have also created issue for this in bitbucket and the issue url is https://bitbucket.org/dw8/moodle-format_tiles/issues/224/getting-but-after-installation
Please fix this error for better experience
Thanks
Thank you for the helpful plugin that makes the user experience fancier and simplified, I like it!
I am using it for my course page now and discovered that H5P acitivites are not shown in a modal window yet. Could you add this feature for the future? That would we wonderful, since now that cuts into the otherwise smooth user experience and makes it more difficult, especially for unexperienced users. Thank you for your helpful work! Kind regards,
Astrid
For the custom activities we use : (e.g. turnitin, mod_certificate) the background of the activity image seems to be set to the colour of the tiles plugin background.

The workaround for us it to use a css hack to set .format-tiles .activityiconcontainer.other to f1f1f1
