i have a questions, how i can add this format?
thanks for your help
Due to: https://github.com/brandaorodrigo/moodle-format_buttons/commit/14b3171095257b171cac10c3c874721d4daae015#diff-4e7bb40584b55a44f4657b188986bff4R63. This is causing all the content in other course formats not to be displayed. And issues that are not my fault: https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-format_grid/issues/103.
Please fix or remove the version ASAP.

I have a little problem: I want edit to edit the permissions for one capability but I don't find this plugin in the list. How can I do it?
Is this course format compatible with Moodle App?

Estou com o seguinte problema: ao usar este formato de curso e colocar uma restrição de data nas Seções o meu perfil de "Professor" perde o acesso a elas. Com estas mesmas configurações, mas usando o formato "Tópicos" o meu perfil de Professor tem acesso.

Same question. Is there an update to Moodle 3.10 ? Thank you
First of all I want to say tha your button format looks great. We would be very keen to use it on many courses at the university I work for. We do have a question though.
Are there plans to make the the button format more accessible ? It's a great format but it lacks the capacity to be navigated by using the keyboard (press tab to go down, press shift+tab to go up, press enter to access) like a disabled person using a screen reader would do.
After trying to adjust it through Javascript, I discovered that it would only need a few Aria roles and attributes to be fonctionnal. Would you consider adding them ?
