Course formats ::: format_tiles
Maintained by

A course format which displays course topics as "Tiles", in a grid rather than as a list. When clicked, tile content is displayed under the tile with an animated transition. The layout adapts to different screen sizes and orientations. Within each tile, activities can also be set to display as "sub-tiles". For each tile, the teacher can pick an icon from a predefined set, or upload a background photo.

there is a problem with the subsections in the course index , when we click in the course index on any subsection the main page turn gray and not showing the subsection but it close any opened tile or if there is nothing open only grays the surrounding (animated navigation enabled).
It looked like it was a VPN that was causing issues for the first two. They had to completely remove it from their device - not just disable it - for some reason.
The user today has removed it but I'm not sure if he's recieving the messages still. He did say that it's working on another device so I'm pretty confident it's something on his machine that's causing it.
Moodle 4.1.11 and php 8.1
Could you please advise if it’s possible to adjust the layout so that there are three tiles per row instead of four, making them slightly larger? I need to add steps from 1 to 6 in my course and label them, for example, Step 1. Challenge and Objectives. However, this text is quite long and currently appears on two lines.
Es importante destacar que sí es posible acceder a todos los recursos sin ningún problema utilizando el índice del curso que se muestra en el panel lateral izquierdo. El problema ocurre exclusivamente al intentar navegar a través de los mosaicos. Detalles del Entorno:
Versión de Moodle: 4.3.3
Versión del Formato Mosaico (Tiles Format): 4.3.0.64
Versión del Tema: Universe 1.5.8
It's important to note that all resources can be accessed without any issues using the course index displayed in the left sidebar. The problem occurs exclusively when trying to navigate through the tiles. Environment Details:
Moodle Version: 4.3.3
Tiles Format Version: 4.3.0.64
Theme Version: Universe 1.5.8
That's a great course format. We're very fond of it.
Would it be possible to enhance it, so that LTI (external Tools) could open in a modal windows (pop up) ?
Thanks,
