Are there any plans to keep this plugin updated/ create newer versions for 3.11 and 4?

I agree that this is potentially a very useful plugin. However, as Susan Hanisch stated, one needs to know whether a plugin will be developed or not.

Therefore, I decided to use "Poster" (mod). I add an HTML block to the top and the "Social Comments" below that. For simple pages, I use "Tabs" (filter) within the HTML block. For complex ones - with questions, etc. - I add an H5P Course Presentation.

I have been making major changes to the iContent code so that it will work with the latest versions of Moodle from 4.0 to 4.3. The code still needs a lot of TLC to fix missing and broken stuff, but it does work like the old versions, on the newer Moodle's. The code in my git hub account at https://github.com/drachels/moodle-mod_icontent is usable on a development site, but not ready for production. So if anyone is interested in getting a copy of the master branch and help me look for "broken" stuff, that would be great.

I have been making good progress with all the code updates to get things so the plugin will work on versions of Moodle from 4.0 to 4.3. The MOODLE_1071_STABLE works almost exactly like the last official v1.0.6 release. The biggest difference is the add question page, looks different as I currently have it showing a bunch of additional information. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could put the code on their dev server site and look for problems. I am working on some new features but also still working on some original problems, such as question answers never being shuffled which make it too easy to get the right answer for matching questions.

The current master branch at github is much closer to being able worthwhile to make an official release. The answer order is now being automatically shuffled for the Multiple Choice and the True False type questions.

The code is being worked on. In the list of links above, click on the one for, Source control URL. When you get there, click on the green, Code, button, then select, Download ZIP, and you will get the latest version of the code. The code will work like the original but does have a huge number of updates/changes for Moodle 4 and higher. I am trying to get it ready for an official upgraded release to go along with the upcoming Moodle 4.5.

Is it possible to disable the automatic indent, after every Line Break. It looks very messy if its only short or single Line Breaks.

Hi Kenneth,
The fix for that is in my github branch 1.0.7.2+ plus that branch contains a whole bunch of other bug fixes and new stuff. The hold up for an official new release has been a combination of my eye problems and getting the matching question to work correctly. (Right now it does not shuffle the answers which means right now the correct answer in the drop-down is in the same order as the item to match.

Hi Al, Thanks for quick reply. I will ask our provider to upgrade to latest version 1.0.7.
Thanks for a great plugin, and best of recovery with the eyes.

Looking forward to the official release.

Hi Kenneth, Sorry for the late reply as I was out of town for a retired teachers luncheon, yesterday. Also, sorry about the xxx's. I was having a bad vision day, severe dry-eye syndrome, but was trying to find a spot where I could place Tags. You can remove the xxx's by going to the yourmoodle/mod/icontent/locallib.php file. It should be down around line 2859. Change the line from: $npage.'xxx'. so that it becomes: $npage.
