Versions and Updates

Moodle 3.6 Fordson v3.6 release 1.2

  • Fixed logo image on login page where it was not fluid/reponsive within the box.
  • Changed login page to include an H1 tag around the SiteName to be ADA compliant. Previous tag was H2. ADA requires Headings begin with H1 before H2 for proper page structure.
  • Fixed login as guest issue on custom login page. Previously, this login form was missing logintoken when logging in as guest.

Moodle 3.6 Fordson v3.6 release 1.1

  • Fixed icon display issue with Recently Accessed items block in dashboard. Icons will be the same size as they appear in courses and this can be adjusted in Fordson settings to be larger or smaller based on preference.
  • Dashboard Sidebar will switch display modes for blocks. A block such as Recently Accessed Items which normally displays as a single row will display as a column when moved from the main area to the sidebar. This just makes sense due to space limitations and wanting to see all recently accessed items without scrolling sideways.

Moodle 3.6 Fordson v3.6 release 1

  • Initial Release of Fordson for Moodle 3.6
  • Fixed coursecat.php classes
  • Fixed Footer display issue
  • Requires Moodle 3.6 official release
  • Supports new messaging layout and display
  • On Dashboard Fordson uses Default Course Header Image set by Site Admin for Course Tiles. This is instead of geometric shape image
