Moodle plugins directory: Onetopic format

Permalink to sections
Hi
Is there a way to have direct link to sections that don't change each time the sections are reordered or a new subsection is added somewhere?
Default links refers to the number of the section... which changes when a new supsection is added.

Thanks for any help

Hi Francois Parlant...

The only way possible is with the section number and the position. Not exists an id or something similar to identify the section in the navigation.

Hi David,
Thank you for your answer... this was my fear... I vote for the addition of a "permalink" parameter in section creation.

Hi David,
Just created the improvement proposal for a permalink system in the bug tracker
https://github.com/davidherney/moodle-format_onetopic/issues/77
Maybe someone will vote / fund this issue
Cheers

hi ! it's a great theme! Actually is used by many users !. congratulations!
Have a question... when you make the visualization mode of section 0 as "before the tabs" and then the user interact with tabs in the course it's load a page but not jump to the level of page where the tabs are located. How can i fix it? moodle 3.6
thanks in advance!

LINK TO SECTIONID instead of section number
Hi David,

James C answered on github with a nice trick for the links to sections not getting mixed up when a new sub section is added:

Hi,

I couldn't get the latest version to work with 3.9. After clicking Upgrade Moodle Database Now, I get the Upgrading to new version page but it just hangs. I have to delete the onetopic folder to get control of Moodle back. I have since tried the previous version 2016071402 and it seems to work fine. Thanks.

Version san juan (2018010608) is mainly working for us on Moodle 3.9. There was a course using the format which yielded repeated "invalid parameter" errors. These seemed to go away after switching to another format.

Hi, its possible if this plugin upgrade to 3.9 version?. Regards!

I'm using OneTopic on Moodle 3.5.
Is there a way to move an activity from one topic to another without changing course format?
Best regards Per

Hi Per, use the Tab Edition Utilities which is below your sections. On Asynchronous edit actions choose Disable. In that mode you will get arrow icons in front of all your activities. Click the one you want to move after which you get areas to drop to (within sections of to other sections) drop your activity and Enable Async edit actions again.

Hi.
Is it possible to make a link to a section - permanent.
Right now if we make a link from course A to a section in course B. Then if a new section is added in course B, we have to go back in course A and change the link, because the sectionID has changed. - So linking between courses to sections is nearly impossible ( and something the teachers do a lot).

for everyone having issues installing or upgrading this plugin to Moodle 3.9 (and I think also 3.10!)

the 3.8 version of the plugins has a requirement for "/course/format/topics/db/upgradelib.php"
that file does not exist anymore in Moodle 3.9.

so easiest thing to do is to open file:
"course/format/onetopic/db/upgradelib.php"
and change line 27 from
"require_once($CFG->dirroot. '/course/format/topics/db/upgradelib.php');"
to
require_once($CFG->dirroot. '/course/format/topics/db/upgrade.php');

after doing so, the upgrade/ installation works just fine...

Hi everyone... Moodle 3.9+ and Moodle 3.10+ compatibility: Ready!

Saludos

Thank you, David. I appreciate the upgrade.
