@Javier and @asad this may be a file permissions issue on your server. Did you check the permissions on the file /course/format/tiles/classes/output/courseformat/content/cm/controlmenu.php and that your web server is able to access it? You don't say which Moodle version you are using but I assume 4.1 or higher.

@Queenie sub-tiles were only shown to editors until Moodle 3.11. To save effort on the upgrade, they only appear to students from Moodle 4.0. They will be shown to editors again in a later release but it was a lower priority than getting other things working

@Ben thanks for the comment and I'm glad it helped!

@Birgit unfortunately the code does not cover that use case at present

Hi David,

It would be great if you could update format.php to use methods from the renderer instead of
using render_from_template() directly. This would allow us to override the renderables in the theme.
For example:

public function render_multi_section_page($course) {
$templateable = new \format_tiles\output\course_output($course, false, null, $this);
$data = $templateable->export_for_template($this);
return $this->render_from_template('format_tiles/multi_section_page', $data);
}

public function single_section_page($course, $displaysection) {
global $SESSION;
$SESSION->editing_last_edited_section = $course->id . "-" . $displaysection;
$templateable = new \format_tiles\output\course_output($course, false, $displaysection, $this);
$data = $templateable->export_for_template($this);
return $this->render_from_template('format_tiles/single_section_page', $data);
}

Thanks!

Hi David,

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

Hi David

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

I have upgraded to the new version 2024051800 but the registration error remains the same.
The Experimental feature is now working and showing the index in the left column.

David, why are some photos displayed in black and white and not colour when replacing the Icon?

Great work on this format. It looks great.

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.

Hello,

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

quand j'ai installé ce plugin j'ai comme erreur
Exception : Class "format_base" not found

comment resoudre ce probleme merci.

Birgit it sounds like you may not have the latest version of the plugin, since the course index stopped being experimental for tiles in releases from June 2024. It was originally introduced as experimental only as a cautious way to introduce it. You can see your installed plugin version by going to [your moodle URL]/admin/plugins.php and searching for tiles.

Malika Veuillez vérifier que vous utilisez la bonne version du plugin pour votre instance Moodle. Par ex. si vous utilisez Moodle 4.4, vous devez utiliser la version 4.4 du plugin. Versions: https://moodle.org/plugins/format_tiles/versions

Owain filters seem to work for me. If you'd like to contact me with further information, you can at https://evolutioncode.uk/contact

Hello,
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.

Hi David
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
