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've just decided to update Moodle and now running v3.10.3+
Plugin version is 3.9.0.13
I have a problem after an update - All tiles moved from other 8 sections in to the first one. (First section now has ALL tiles while other 7 are empty).
Is there a way to fix this? Does it have anything to do with Moodle version being newer than Format Tiles' ?
Thanks in advance.
I've done this with my site by adding extra numbers to the "course > format > tiles > pix > tileicon" folder. I've actually got 1-19, so I'm more than happy to send you 1-16 if you need. I've copied the font and style of the original icons.

Let me know if that works.
Pending community testing (please), I have marked it as being for Moodle 3.11 only. However I have tested it in Moodle 3.9 - 3.11 and automated tests are passing there so, if community testing goes well, I will release this as "stable" to Moodle 3.9 - 3.11 at the end of July 2021. (I have not yet tested it for Moodle 3.8, but plan to run the automated tests soon. Please test if you can.)
After changing course format to another format and then back to tiles, all previously set custom tile images disappear.
For information :
On 3.11, the animated navigation (JS) crashes the Latex formulas (via Mathjax).
You must modify the plugin settings to disable animated navigation by default.
The problem is, when a student marks an activity as completed, it also appears to be using JS, and it also crashes the Latex formulas.
