  Troy, thank you!! The sooner we get notifications of events in these forums the better. The only reason I came her again was to check this out for a friend.

  Troy, just a quick note to say Alan Brown has started a thread here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=225302 with a missing Edit button question.
  But also curious: I noticed somewhere you were working "as time permitted" on a major re-develop of the dialogue. How is this going? If you need a beta tester, we may be keen. Good luck!!

  I know it's a bit sad to reply to your own post, but this from AL today: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=229243#p997710
  
  "The Moodle 2.4 version of Dialogue works just fine with Moodle 2.5+. Been using it ever since QA testing started on Moodle 2.5"
  
  On a philosophical note I am interested to note the different types of uses people are making of the Dialogue module.

  I made upgrade Moodle 2.2.11 to 2.6+, after installing the module to dialogue, attempting to use the "update helper Dialogue" get the following error.:
  
  Section error
  
  More information about this error
  
  Debug info:
  Error code: sectionerror
  Stack trace:

  The latest version of the dialog works correctly, you will not lose anything.
  Run the engine upgrade help having the new module Dialogue, to update your past conversations to the latest version.

  Moodle don't let just update because the dialogue folder is already exist. What exactly step to update it to keep all records in all instances alive?

  I've upgraded from 2.4 > 2.6 on a dev server and have encountered a strange issue with this plugin. The version used is the most recent (2013112905) and was updated from a 2.4 version (2012112900).
  
  The issue: A class in the styles.css 'invisible' is targeting areas outside of the module and is actually effecting blocks on my homepage (and possibly other areas). When I've hidden a block on the homepage it dissapears rather than having it's opacity changed (see https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yg2y9qejve0zdek/3Ndn2SHRt4). When the mod is deleted or the class is changed the blocks work fine....
  
  Has anyone else seen this issue or knows how to solve it?
  
  Cheers,
  Nathan

  Hi Nathan,
  
  Yeah, I used bootstrap to rapidly develop the UI of dialogue, so anyone not running a bootstrap based theme going to run into problems. It is on my list to go through and clean up CSS for non bootstrap based themes.
  
  I can see problem is in mod/dialogue/less/bootstrap/utilities.less
  
  // Visibility
  .invisible {
  visibility: hidden;
  }
  
  if you would like to contribute your fix go to and fork https://github.com/troywilliams/moodle-mod_dialogue
  
  See: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/LESS
  
  compile the css fix
  
  recess --compile --compact mod/dialogue/less/dialogue.less > mod/dialogue/styles.css
  
  Thanks,
  
  Troy

  We have had this problem as well. It was worse that we were using several different themes on the site and only some were affected. Now I know why.
  One of the guys doing a little coding for us discovered that examining the code with Firebug shows link to CSS where they shouldn't be. A bit of custom CSS seemed to help.

  Hi David,
  
  I am working on it at moment, there are a couple of new API's that I need to support so working moving legacy code. No date at this time, should be sooner rather than later though.
  
  Cheers
