It is not only in the title description field and the label resource, but also in the description field for the other resources/activities when you check the box to show the description on the overview page under the title
this is the sinner:
ul.sectionul li
{
list-style-type: none;
}
After removing this element, you end up with a single bullet above the tabs (I think it is from section zero?)
We use the template in Moodle 2.6 (but the problem is also visible in my 2.9 and 3.0 try-outs)
I think we are all wondering if this will be OK for 3.0

There are some other alternatives. Try a search for 'tabs' you'll find Generico and at least one other tabs plugin.
Or you can use Onetopic maybe?

It is a pitty that onetopic is missing the visual ques from TabTopics: the buttons on top where you can store keywords for the sections behind the tabs.
Onetopic is "too abstract" for a normal user/teacher..like the old zoom-in/zoom-out function from the old standard template - even when you replace the icons with a magnifying glass with a pkus or a minus sign in the glass.
I'm using moodle V 2.8 .
I have a problem, TabTopic format course is not displayed (Sunrise28 theme) in mobile. Can anybody help me?
I've created a fork of the project to supply the fixes we've identified for Moodle 2.9:
https://github.com/tlock/moodle-format_tabtopics/commit/414aab1649b6a80f901b5f3aac50c3f703cc2215
Your patches solves also the warnings for tabtopics inmy Moodle 3.x test server, thanks!!
Do you also have a solution for the bullet list problem I mentioned higher in this question list
I am using Moodle 3.1.1, and I have a problem with TabTopics format.
The following error occurs when a user goes to edit/update a section title using that little pencil edit icon (just to the right of the section's title) for the quick editing. Please note, the formal "Edit" link still works.
Error calling update processor
File: ...mal/externallib.ph
Stack trace: Error code: inplaceedittableerror
The change is not saved.
Any help is appreciated.

Has anyone come up with some ideas on how to ensure this course format works on a mobile phone?
Thanks in advance.
