      <description>by Gonzalo de SuperMagister.top. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hello, the plugin is very good, and I use it for my courses.&lt;br&gt;
There are only two drawbacks I have found and causes me much trouble:&lt;br&gt;
-- Sometimes I need to change the format of the course to test something or to draw items to another section. When I do this all the proprieties of each section are deleted. It should be very good if this information were stocked somewhere and restored when I swich back to tabs format.&lt;br&gt;
-- It's very ennoying that I can't draw items from one section to another.&lt;br&gt;
I hope it could be hepful. Thanks and regards.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Gareth Barnard. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hi,&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Is there any intent to update this format to Moodle 2.2, 2,3, 2.4 and 2.5?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Cheers,&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Gareth&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Chris Gibson. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;We're evaluating several themes on the same install. This uses the same function names as the onetopic format, meaning the cron job failed with this error : PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare callback_onetopic_uses_sections() (previously declared in /moodle/course/format/forumtopic/lib.php:32) in /moodle/course/format/onetopic/lib.php on line 33&lt;br&gt;

      <description>by Matt Jenner. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;if I wanted to swap out the forum for another activity, say for example a wiki or a database is this a simple procedure? I' looking at the code and it's not obviously clear (at the moment). Any help would be appreciated. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by P H. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;It would be a big plus if we can choose the kind of forum (Single Simple Discussion, for example) and name it as we wish, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Thomas Alsén. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hi,&lt;br&gt;
I couldn't rename the tab names in Moodle 2.1.2 so I replaced line 108 in format.php&lt;br&gt;
from &lt;br&gt;
$sectionname = get_section_name($course, $thissection); &lt;br&gt;
to &lt;br&gt;
if(empty ($thissection-&amp;gt;name))&lt;br&gt;
   $sectionname = get_section_name($course, $thissection);&lt;br&gt;
else&lt;br&gt;
    $sectionname = $thissection-&amp;gt;name;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
And can now change the tab names.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Beto Castillo Llaque. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;When I logged as a Guest (moodle 2.1.2+), is not posible to change topics (tabs) , It seems a permissions issue . May you guide me how to resolve it ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
