Would it be possible to add activity completion options to this block? As in Select all in section (Even if it was just labels) and have the option to turn it off?
I am also wondering about 3.5. We have it installed, and it kind of works. It can take 5 minutes or more to delete even a couple of items.
Hi guys, My Apologies to Clem Smith I directly messaged and then noticed the comments section, Are there any plans to update this for 3.5? My workplace won't allow me to use it unless it is at the same version as the Moodle.
Hey Clem,
There are a few issuse when use the onetopic course format that has multiple parent sections with child sections.
1. Bulk move activities between sections that have child sections between the transition:
A course has 5 parent sections, Section 3 and 4 have 4 child sections each (Total of 13 sections)
Move a bunch of activities from Section 1 to Section 5
These activities will be moved to a child section in section 3 instead of section 5
2. Can't bulk move activities that are in a child section
Thanks

Checkbox does not appear on all topics
If I click on 'select all', nothing gets selected.
version is the Moodle 3.5+ (Build: 20180628)
OK... now there is weirdness I can't understand... so far it is working in 4 of my courses but I have one where it won't work. It is doing exactly as I described in my Aug 15 comment...???
Nevermind... it is magically working now... (I'm so happy)
Doesn't seem to work for me in 3.5 either. Could be me since I just recently upgraded to 3.5. I just installed mass actions, added block to course, but the block doesn't see any of the topics. Pull down is essentially blank. There are checkboxes in Topic zero but even if I click on them and select an action, nothing happens. If I click on 'select all', nothing gets selected. I don't see anything to suggest there are errors of any kind but it is clearly not working
It works for me on 3.5. What errors do you get?
Any plans on supporting 3.5? There are javascript errors which stop it working at the moment.
The only reason it wouldn't work is if there is a javascript error on the page. I've tested it with that course format in our Moodle installations and it works. So the only thing I can think of is that there is something on the page throwing a javascript error, which would prevent anything else relying on javascript from executing.
I get that it wouldn't be able to find the things in the collapsed sections, but is there a reason it won't work with the items that are there though?
Mr. Bartley,
Currently, the plugin relies upon using the HTML DOM to discover the modules that are in the course. When your flex sections are collapsed, there are no modules in them for the plugin to discover. This is why it currently does not work with collapsed flex sections. That said, I am expecting to be able to spend time either later this month or in June working on refactoring the plugin to work much better and to be less reliant on the DOM. I'm going to private message you to discuss this further.
Clem
Is there any chance this could be made compatible with https://moodle.org/plugins/format_flexsections when they are collapsed? When everything is opened it works fine, but when a section containing an item is closed it no longer works at all.
