Will this be updated for 4.0?

Jack, it probably depends on which theme you are using. The screenshots were taken with the 'standard' theme (from memory, it was a while ago). There may need to be some tweaks to the code to support the CSS for other themes.

Thanks so much! This is great. One question though - I have 2.5.2, and I can change the background of the content and the header, but for the header, the background color does not extend to the whole field. There is just a colored strip the size of the text, and then white space above and below the text in the header. It doesn't look like your screen shots above.

Rene,
I haven't yet looked at what would be involved in upgrading this to Moodle 2.5 - the plugin was created on behalf of LMZ and they haven't (yet) asked me to look at upgrading it. Unfortunately, I already have quite a lot of plugins that I have created and support in my spare time, so this is one of those that I can only really maintain in work time, if a client is willing to pay for it (aside from obvious bugs that need correcting).
Sorry, I can't really help much more than that (but I am perfectly happy to integrate a new version if someone else fixes the 2.5 compatibility).

We love your Colours Topics course format. I had to upgrade to 2.5 however, we love your Course format and were using it on all of our courses. Will you be making a 2.5 version? ( we didn't notice that it was not for 2.5

Riady - that's not something I'm likely to be implementing - although I would be quite prepared to integrate a well-written patch, if someone was to write the code to support background images.

Hi Davo,

it's a great plug in. Just wondering whether there would be function in the feature to upload image as background (most likely a pattern)

Thanks for your great invention

Hi Davo,
Thanks for the new version. It works beautifully. Thanks again for a nice, very user-friendly plugin. Keep on the good work.
PS: Spanish translation of this plugin now available in AMOS.

Thanks for pointing that out German - I've fixed it now. Please download the latest version and make sure that you delete the current 'course/format/colours' directory, before installing this fixed version.

Hi Davo,
Seems good, but it gave me an error of "not compatible with 2.3" (I am running Moodle 2.3.2+ (Build: 20120927)), debug info follows:

Capability "format/colours:editcolours" was not found! This has to be fixed in code.

line 377 of /lib/accesslib.php: call to debugging()
line 31 of /course/format/colours/locallib.php: call to has_capability()

line 276 of /course/view.php: call to require()

I downloaded file format_colours_moodle23_2012080800 from Moodle plugins page.

Can you please check if the file above is the newest version, or replace it please.

Thanks in advance for another great contribution to Moodle,

I've just checked and I've been able to release the 2.3 version - available now both here and on GitHub.

Would an additional betatester be helpful? This would be really nice for one of my Moodles, where I need to visualize relevancy for different groups of users without actally wanting to use the groups-function...

There is a 2.3 version - I need to find out if this can be released yet.

This would be sooo helpful - but our Moodle is 2.3 - is there any roadmap for making this work with 2.3?
