Bootstrap Elements gives you the ability to add modal and toggles to your courses, helping to improve the layout of courses. It is in essence an improved "label" resource type with an opton allowing you to set content to display as a:
- Modal box (popup box)
- Toggle (expandable / drop-down content
- Enhanced Label (with title + icon)
- BlockQuote (same as above, blockquote with title / icon)
Font Awesome icons are selected through a searchable UI element
This will help teachers add more dynamic, interactive content within courses whilst consuming less space on the page:
Please note: This plugin will only work with themes that are based on Bootstrap and have support for for the Bootstrap elements referenced by this plugin.

I agree with the description, this provides quite simple yet powerful tool for teacher to enrich the interactivity of the main course page. Well done on that. I am happy to approve the plugin now. You are cleared to land, welcome to the Plugins directory!
Thanks very much for testing our plugin with other themes, glad it worked on Shoehorn!
Regards your questions on icons I updated the description earlier with our "future plans" amongst which is support for icons, toggle being a particular problem at the moment.
We really wanted to release what we have and get feedback whilst its still being worked on.
We are not using it in production ourselves yet and probably wont until icon support is added as without icons its not clear to users that toggles are expandable.
We will get this added as soon as we can though :D
Thanks for your fast response. And I understand that you wanted to release what you have so that others can see it. I installed Bootstrap Elements in a test site.
During the last 4 months I used Accordion or what you called Toggle in Bootstrap Elements quite often, not only in Labels. When I had a long description for a paper, I liked to show the first line of the description in the main class page. When students hovered over this line, they could see the rest.
Do you think it is possible to add the functionality of Bootstrap Elements as an option to the description of activities? Right now the description can only displayed completely. Just a thought.
With kind regards,
Hartmut
No you could not use this to apply to the descriptions of other activity types.
One of the reasons we are working on this is try and get more people using Bootstrap in their course pages in the hope that if there are enough adopters we may start to see these kinds of features making their way into core.
Please include some screenshots with examples so it will be easy for people to get to know the plug-in better.
ZIP file contains a redundant NetBeans 'nbproject' folder.
