Blocks: Multiblock
What is this?
This is a sort of magic metablock. Suppose you're using Boost and you have a whole bunch of blocks making a course page longer than it should be, or cluttering up your Dashboard.
Using Multiblock you can collect all those blocks together and use 'one block's worth' of space and put all those blocks into the one space with one of several layouts, whether it's tabs or an accordion, or something else. Several preset layouts are bundled with Multiblock.
What styles of presentation are there?
- Accordion
- 2-column (split 33%/66%, split 66%/33%, split 50%/50%)
- Dropdown
- Tabbed list
- Vertical tabs / pills

Just released version 1.3.0 which I hope will fix the issue, as I mentioned on GitHub I'd had trouble being able to reproduce, but hopefully this will fix it.
If not please let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks,

Love the plugin but I seemed to have run into a bug (maybe?) in the 3.9 version. In the accordion setup, the first item of the block now always starts opened up instead of closed like the rest of the items on a reload of the page. On older versions it remained closed until used. Is this intended behaviour?

@Michael: what does it say is outdated? I've just installed it on 3.9.1 using the exact download from this site, v1.3.2 of the plugin and it installed without warnings as I would expect. Do you have screenshots or a more detailed error message? I'm not sure what it could be saying is outdated; the same code works on 3.5 through 3.9.1 (though I haven't tested it on 3.9.1+ or Workplace 3.9.x yet) and it doesn't declare any dependencies.
Firstly - great plugin. Really tidies things up!
It's generally working fine - apart from on the home page. When I try to manage the blocks I get the error message: Can't find data record in database table course.
Is it designed to be used on the Home Page? We're using 3.8 and Lambda theme.
Thanks - Dan
