Poster

Maintained by Stefan-Alexander Scholz, bdecent gmbh
Poster is a resource activity module allowing to create a web page. What makes this module unique is that the contents of the poster page is composed of Moodle blocks (such as HTML block, Calendar block, Latest news block etc.). It provides yet another place within the course where blocks can be put without polluting the course front page.

Is it compatible with Moodle v4.5+ ?
David Mudrák

It could be the Snap theme thing. In either case, please make some illustrative screenshots and post them to a new issue in the plugin's tracker (find the link above at this page). Thanks.

Hello David! I have just found your plugin and wanted to add it to one of my courses. However, the added blocks didn't show on the course page - only the poster name and description were visible. I am using Moodle 3.11 and the Snap theme. Do you have any ideas? Best wishes! Andreas

As the "Stats" page here shows, the plugin is being used by multiple Moodle 4.1 sites. I haven't had an opportunity yet to formally check and update the Behat tests but I believe it should work well in 4.1.

I would also like to know if it's compatible or if you're going to upgrade it to 4.1. Thank you for making an amazing plugin.

Hello David! I would like to install this plugin on our moodle page. And I have a question, can this poster be edited by students? or only by managers or administrators?
Thanks
David Mudrák

Hello Admin Raíz PACTO. Students can edit the poster contents. You will need to play with the permissions configuration to give them rights to edit the blocks in the context of the module.

Let's move this to where it belongs. May I ask you to report this as a new issues in the plugin's tracker at Github. Please provide exact steps to reproduce on your site. Thanks in advance.

Hi David, Thanks a lot for your reply. It is strange, I actually got this report from another institution using a custom theme, and I checked in our own instance that uses Fordson and saw the same. Now I forced the Classic theme on one course and still got only one column. Now I am thinking what could be common in our both instances that causes the same situation... anyway, thanks for trying smile

Hello Roberto. I cannot reproduce your problem. The two-columns layout works for me as expected in recent Moodle version under both standard themes Boost and Classic.

Hi David. Unfortunatetly, I think since the last 2 updates of Moodle, Poster is not displaying in 2 columns, could that be an update in Fordson/Boost? or the whole moodle at large that is causing this? any idea of a workaround? Thanks for a very nice and useful project!

Thanks Patrick. Version 6.0.1 was just released with Moodle 3.11 officially supported. There is no real change from 6.0.0 as all changes are mostly development-oriented. So 6.0.0 would have worked, too.

Any chance of a version for 3.11.1?
Valeria Keck
Thanks for your answer. I have no problem with passing the discussion to the complement's crawler.
P.S. I tell you that they have the teachers have the permission assigned to add blocks in the Poster activity.
Regards,
Valeria
