This course format looks very similar to Topics format except:
- there is no parameter "Number of sections", sections can be added and removed as necessary
- section can also be added inside another section
- each section (regardless of its nesting level) can be shown expanded or collapsed. Teacher can change it in edit mode.
- If section is displayed collapsed, it's name is displayed as a link to the separate page and on this separate page the link "Back to ... " is displayed
If teacher hides a section all nested sections and activities become hidden as well.
Please note that if section has both activities and subsections activities are displayed first.
On the attached screenshots the section "Assignments" has Label resource and two subsections - "New assignments" (displayed expanded) and "Old assignments" (collapsed). Note how course navigation looks like in this case.

Can you update this plugin for Moodle 3.2 version? This plugin was very useful for our university....
Have you considered this? Having app support would be awesome! /Best Henrik
great plugin! I have a course with five sections and am trying to move one section to change the order (section 5 should be section 1), but it is not possible. there is a dragn drop symbol which name is "move" but it is not working. any suggestions?
in the main section of my course the section name is not displayed. Is there any CSS fault?
I've installed it on Moodle 3.3.2+ (Build: 20170915) . However, I cannot find the option to "add a subsection below the "add an activity or resource". Could you help me please?
By the way, the pluguin version I've installed is 3.2.1 and it is enabled.
Thanks in advance,
Francis
Flexible sections work fine for Web but in moodle mobile all courses using flexsections becomes unavailable. Can you please tell us how we can fix this issue?
A number of people here have mentioned that they would like to see the Flexible sections format work on the Moodle Mobile app. It seems that the development team is considering this and have opened an issue in the tracker (MOBILE-1551). You might want to cast a vote to help ensure that support for course formats remains a priority.
new version 3.2.2 is released with smaller whitespaces, more friendly for mobile devices. I also marked compatibility with 3.4, nothing really changed in the API
If you notice any issues with the course format please report on https://github.com/marinaglancy/moodle-format_flexsections/issues
Thanks
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what should I modify to have "the same effect"?
The biggest issue is that sections and subsections are not been displayed separetedly, with bound boxes, white spaces or any enclosures.
