Hello Andrew and thanks for this plugin! I have a question: how can I individualize the section titles to give them a unique style? Because they use names and classes that are shared with other course formats. Thanks!

Hi Andrew, great plugin. Would it be possible to have the image in the card header also link to the activity?

The Linked Card already does this, so hopefully it's easy to do, possibly have a toggle for it either at activity, course or site level?

A possible issue with the Linked Card formatted topic:
It didn't have a link on the Topic title text, but did have a link on the card image - I'm guessing this is to allow the Topic title text to toggle the collapsible functionality when it's enabled, however this meant that when there was no image in the Topic card, there was no link to click through to the topic's contents.

Not sure if you'd looked at that use case, but wanted to flag it for you just in case

Hello Andrew,

I never have seen this plugin before, this is very promising and a wonderful one. I like it so much, specially that it has setting on course level, section level and activity level; which may make it a one of a kind tool.

It probably need some more instructions or help about it, in this regard, I have 2 questions.

I am trying to set the width of the card so I can have 2 cards on one full line (2 columns only), it does show the 2, but they are 2/3 of the full width, and it does not seem to work for me. Is there something specific to do this?
UPDATE: After writing this post, I knew that it is not possible to set it in the section area, but when set at the activity settings, it works very well.

The other question is that in the activity settings under "Topics activity cards format" a setting for "Duration":
What does this do?
Does it enforce finishing at the duration end? Or
A minimum required time? Or
Just a suggested duration?
Would it be possible to link it in the future with the "activity completion" rules? Or
Possibly in a course that has least time limit of time spent?

Thanks a lot,

Hello,

Is it possible to add the same features to to the course category to add some features to the category settings?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, from what I've seen so far, only a theme can override the layout of the course category page.

The minimum duration is just a visual note to the user, it has no functionality beyond that.

It would be great to have the duration functionality, but even though, it is a wonderful plugin.

@Ezzedin - the card widths use Bootstrap’s grid system of 12 columns. So a card width of 3 will be 25% width, or 4 across. 6 will be 50% - so if you set each of the two cards to a width of 6, you will achieve what you want of 2 cards taking up 100% of the row width. It works the same for both the section and activity cards.

I love the plugin. It's really something we have been looking for. Maybe one suggestion: when you have a multiple activity next to eachother (3 to 4 in a row), including a 15 character activity-title, the completion box will glitches out of the card. My suggestion would be to but the completion box beneath at the bottom of the card (underneath description). Great Work! Looking forward to the next update.

Bonjour, exellentissime plugin. The best of course format ! Une petite suggestion pour améliorer la navigation, en ayant la possibilité de pouvoir garder le menu "Cours" sur n'importe quelle page du cours (y compris les pages d'affichage de certaines activités comme les forum par exemple) car il est parfois difficile de revenir sur la page d'accueil du cours. Le format de cours "Designer" le fait donc cela doit être possible. Une autre suggestion aussi au niveau de l'achèvement manuelle des activité : A la place de marquer "Terminé" à côté de l'activité lorsque l'on marque manuellement une activité comme étant terminée, est-il possible d'indiquer la date et l'heure à laquelle l'activité a été marquée comme terminée ? Cela peut être très utile aux enseignants pour suivre avec précision ce qui a été fait et quad cela a été fait. Un grand merci pour ce développement.

Hi Andrew, I noticed that in your latest release, 2023071105, version.php lists that it is supported back to Moodle 4.1 (2022112800). However, the plugins version page has 2023071104 listed as the most recent version for 4.1 and 4.2. Assuming that the version.php is correct, could you update the moodle.org version page to indicate that 2023071105 is the most recent supported version for Moodle 4.1 and 4.2? Thanks!

Great idea, promising. When are you planning a version for 4.5, and are you planning to keep this plugin up to date with future Moodle versions 5+?

I will definitely be supporting 4.5 at some point and almost certainly Moodle 5+

Bonjour, je viens de faire la mise à jour du plugin 2024120603 sur un Moodle 4.4 et il m'est depuis impossible d'ouvrir mes cours ayant ce format de cours. En revanche, si je crée un nouveau cours dans ce format, cela fonctionne. J'ai vidé les caches mais le problème persiste. L'erreur qui s'affiche est "Erreur de programmation détectée. Ceci doit être corrigé par un programmeur : Cannot call moodle_page::add_body_class after output has been started.". En mode débug, voici ce qui ressort "Debug info:

Que faut-il faire pour débloquer le problème ?
En vous remerciant

Re-bonjour. En faisant des tests, je me suis rendu compte que le paramètre "Width of course page" produit ce message d'erreur lorsqu'il est réglé sur "Full width". Peut-être cela peut-il vous aider ?

That bug is now sorted in the latest version, sorry for the hassle. For future reference, I'm more likely to spot issues if you raise them through the GitHub issues tracker.
