    Hey this is awesome - something a lot of clients are looking for. Haven't had time to test it yet. The two things I'd want to know:

    - Is there a way to display the activity description on the course page in (or around) the card?
    - Is there a way to display an image for the card (similar to how the Grid format does with topics)?

    The description and any images you put in shows in the body of the card - so a qualified yes to both.

    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,
