Hello, Thank you for this amazing plug in.
I am using Moodle 4.0 and version 1.401.03 (Build 2022040112) (2022040112)

Is there / could there be an option for the teacher / manager role to approve new additions to the board when made by the students?
I have set up event monitoring rules to notify me after the fact which is keeping it somewhat controlled for us but an advance approval / notification would be amazing.

Thank you
Marie

Hi Marie! Many thanks for your great feedback. Optional approval for posts - this would be a substantial yet useful feature, so we'd engage if there was funding to support it! Regards Karen

Hello,
This is a great plugin.
Is it possible to add an option to prevent uploading image(s) in this plugin ?
Thanks

Hi Lin Zhong! Many thanks for your plugin feedback, and glad that you're enjoying using it. Having a global setting for the ability to prevent uploading images - this would be a new feature, so again, we'd engage if there was funding to support it!

As a temporary measure, if you have access to the global settings of your site's theme, you could try the following custom CSS, to hide just the image button.

.mod_board_note_buttons .link_button {
display: none;
}

Regards Karen

Hi,
Is support planned for Moodle 4.5 (which recently entered code freeze)? The current version doesn't seem to work in it.

Hi,
We have come across an issue with the embed feature and wondered if there were any plans to fix this bug in upcoming releases? After adding a URL to an embedded Board, the link seems to try to open within the Board container/iFrame on the page and the URL doesn't load. We've found found this on Moodle 4.1 and 4.4.

Thanks!
Dave

Hi Lin, apologies for the incorrect CSS in my previous comment, designed to hide the image button, it instead hid the link button.

As a temporary measure, if you have access to the global settings of your site's theme, you could try the following custom CSS, to hide just the image button.

.mod_board_note_buttons .image_button {
display: none;
}

Hi James, yes we will be getting a 4.5 version of Board ready, for shortly after the Moodle 4.5 release.

Hi David, thanks for sharing your workflow issues with embedded URLs, we will look into this shortly.

Regards
Karen

Hi David, we are confident that you are experiencing a workflow issue between an embedded board on the course page, and the URLs being configured to NOT open in a new window, which is causing the browser to not load the new page when the URL is clicked on.

We have previously introduced a new configuration for individual board instances, defaulting to off, called "Enable blank target". This is for accessibility purposes. If you are embedding your board, as you describe, you'll need to set this particular setting to on instead. Hope this helps!

Dear developers,

I would like to suggest introducing the option of text formatting in the plugin. To be specific, it is about the text formatting of text within the tiles with which you can fill the board.

It would be extremely helpful if text could be displayed in bold, italics and underlined and if line breaks could be inserted. These customisations would significantly increase the added value of the plugin.

Thank you in advance for your efforts and the time and effort involved.

Best Regards
Dominic

Thanks very much for this Karen! Massive oversight on my part.

Hi James, we have fixed a JQuery bug, which was causing the board to not appear in 4.5. This fix is available on our source repository here https://github.com/brickfield/moodle-mod_board, and we will be sorting a release to the plugins database shortly as well.

Hi Dominic, thanks for your feedback, and yes, we are discussing the option of some markdown styles in board notes/posts, in our issues section of our source repository here https://github.com/brickfield/moodle-mod_board.

Hey folks, love this tool and I've successfully downloaded the latest version to get it working in 4.5. I've noticed that it doesn't work in Boost Magnific - not your problem but this might be handy for others to know.
