    If you are using Moodle 2.6 and below then please download the older version(2014051300) of this plugin. The latest version(2014060900) will only work with Moodle 2.7 and up. Sorry for the trouble.

    I am trying to find how to add a new node using a mac keyboard - this doesn't have an insert key so what do I use?

    I'm not a mac user, so i cant give any hints. I suggest you try to google, i'm sure mac has something equivalent to PC-s Insert button.

    I was also looking for a mind map that the participants could use individually - has anyone seen this?

    Hi Tõnis,

    I have the 2.7-version of the mindmap installed, but when I click on it after having it included in a course I get a blank page.
    When I switch on debugging I get the following error message:

    Class 'mod_mindmap\event\course_module_viewed' not found in ../html/mod/mindmap/view.php on line 66

    I think you have to have a folder "classes/event" in your plugin and then implement the class "course_module_viewed" as an extension of the abstract class there. That seems to be done in all the other modules, so it might be required?

    Hey!

    Are you sure you are using Moodle 2.7 version? Because that error would be shown only if you are on Moodle 2.6 or lower. The new logging API is only available from 2.7.

    If your Moodle version is below 2.7 then download some older version of this plugin.

    Let me know how it works out.

    Hi Tõnis,

    we have version 2.7.1+ installed, after updating from version 2.4.9.

    Is it possible that our problems come from skipping versions 2.5 and 2.6?

    Thanks for your help!

    Not sure.. Are other 2.7 modules working good for you?

    I cannot find a way to branch to a second level. I'm trying to create a writing exercise where one idea is developed into second level ideas and those can be developed into a third level. But I cannot seem to get to the third level. Every time I add a node, it adds itself to the original idea.

    Actually I figured it out. On my keyboard I had to choose the node from which I wanted to build a new association and then hold down the FUNCTION key and then hit the INSERT button.

    However, I wish there was even a minimal help doc that would tell us how to re-position, for example, a finished mindmap that (even fully zoomed out) runs off the page.

    I did figure out how to do these things and I will be doing an example exercise for my students.
