==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
==FAQ==

I've given this some thought. The plugin submission can always be merged with the original mindmap module when necessary so no sense holding this back.
Please message Anthony or me if any change is needed.

If you did not saw a mind map editor, perhaps you did not have Flash player installed?
noticed an error in restore steps :
$paths[] = new restore_path_element('advmindmap_instance', '/activity/advmindmap/advmindmap_instances/advmindmap_instance');
should be
$paths[] = new restore_path_element('advmindmap_instance', '/activity/advmindmap/instances/instance');
Relying on backup structure
Other thing : Why adding copy to the name of the activity when restore ? Name is not a unique key and is a local label for course readers. This may
breack content integrity when using backup as templates.
found actually an untracked error, but maybe cause of the wrong restore : when no advmindmal_instances at all, javascript get broken with a php error.
cheers ! nice an appreciated module by the way !

- Every user now have a separate mindmap in one single activity, with links to view others' mindmap.
Is it possible to keep this private and not have the ability to view others mindmap?
