==Description==
This is a modification of the original Mindmap module for moodle formerly found on ekpenso.com.
This Advance Mindmap module allows you to create and save simple mindmaps from within moodle.
Added features include:
- Every user now have a separate mindmap in one single activity, with links to view others' mindmap.
- Dummy group mode: multiple mindmaps with simple group name that everyone can view and edit (for group mindmapping without having to setup groups in the course)
- Lock mindmap: prevent editing of mindmap when someone is editing it during group mindmapping
Currently, it is not backward compatible with Moodle 1.9x, please install it on Moodle 2.x only.
==Installation==
- Copy the "/advmindmap" folder and place it into the /mod directory
- Login as administrator
- Go to the "Notifications" page under "Site administration"
- Moodle should detect a new module automatically, follow the onscreen instruction to install it

Also I see the response to Sarah Jane's question about permissions for students to view each others' mindmaps - are there any plans to incorporate this into the settings page to make it easier to change and to be able to toggle it at the individual instance level?
cheers

You do not need Mindmap to use it.
I understand that it is not easy for many people to change it in the permission setting, I will consider moving it to general setting page, but you can already toggle it at the individual instance level now.
I would like to give to the teacher the possibilty to assign a number grade on th map created by a student or by a group of students : one number grade for one student.
Do you think it is possible ? and how can I make it ?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

How can I export and import a mindmap with the content?
Thank you very much for your support.
Really love the plugin, it's nearly perfect for what I need... Just missing one thing, I don't know if it's possible, but if it's possible it would worth some money... Links! I would love to add links with text on the boxes, so I could link documents, courses, notes or even external pages together in a single mindmap. That would be awesome!
Is there plans to make sure this will be compatible with Moodle 4 when it is released?
