Great tool!
I have questions how to use it correctly, because some tours do not show up.
1) How to add a tour to the start page? is it / ? or empty or a trick? The users arrive on Start and need some advise.
2) can I adress a specific assignment? like /mod/assign/view.php?id=2148 ?
3) is there some known problem with the essential theme?
Hey!
I was wondering about adding theme support for this plugin.
I noticed in the theme that we have, the navigational tools for the plugin does not appear for the user. This is obviously a breaking bug and I want to improve our current theme by adding support, but I don't know exactly how.
Is the plugin intended to be self-sufficient in that it also adds the navigational blocks for the highlighted selector? Or does something specific need to exist within the theme (perhaps specific CSS styles)?
Thanks Ricardo..I missed that.
@Justin: Look at the bottom of the page. There you will find a link to re-enable the tour.
This plugin is great, but we don't like that the tour only appears the first time the user accesses the page. It would be great if there was a way an easy way to re-enable it so that it appears again. This is a common feature with product tours.
@Grégoire: You need to contact the person responsible for the system administration. He will know where to look for. If you are using Ubuntu, ask him to look for in "/var/log/apache2". There you will find the logs I told you.
Sorry @Ricardo but I really didn't understand what you refer to - what do I have exactly look for? There's many logs config but... what do you refer, for what, it will be very appreciate if you could give me a complete answer * more of all, what will I have to modify with... which new config??? btw, what's the solution to solve this issue.
Nope...
It is not at Moodle level, but Server level.
@Ricardo
Do you refer to : Dashboard / ▶︎ Site administration / ▶︎ Plugins / ▶︎ Logging / ▶︎ Standard log ?
@Grégoire
Ask your system admin for the system logs.
You might find the answer for the error there.

Hi Ricardo
What do you mean? What kind of test do I have to do?
Hi Grégoire,
Have you tried the systems logs?

Hi
This plugins seems very a good add but I'm not able to add any step > I've got the same message "UNDEFINED". Even if I download tours, I can't add steps or simply run a tour...nothing happens. My moodle version is 3.0 and I tested the plugin with all navigators. Someone has an idea?
@Andrew Nicols, Following up on @Rainer Schaufelberger's concern regarding being able to add html. I looked at the code and the plugin explicitly disables links. May I ask why this is? Are there security issues?
Hi
We implemented this plug and noticed an issue with keyboard navigation and was wondering if anyone else noticed this same issue. When the page loads with a new tour, and the user starts using the keyboard to navigate (usually via the tab key), they move through all the other links on the page behind the tour "screen" before getting to the tour buttons. This is an accessibility concern for us and I'm wondering if this is just do to something in our theme or if others are noticing the same effect.
