Board

Is it compatible with 4.1+ version of Moodle?

Our platform uses a lot of the Board Format. It is really good looking. Any hope it will be updated??? It has been already 5 years and we are now in Moodle 4.0...

Is it compatible with 3.9+ version of Moodle?

Hello, I was wondering if you will be updating the plugin for Moodle 3.7? I really like this plugin and would appreciate its update. Thanks.

Thank you Adam. It works now! I add this in the end of "course/format/board/lib.php" file:
/**
* Implements callback inplace_editable() allowing to edit values in-place
*
* @param string $itemtype
* @param int $itemid
* @param mixed $newvalue
* @return \core\output\inplace_editable
*/
function format_board_inplace_editable($itemtype, $itemid, $newvalue) {
global $DB, $CFG;
require_once($CFG->dirroot . '/course/lib.php');
if ($itemtype === 'sectionname' || $itemtype === 'sectionnamenl') {
$section = $DB->get_record_sql(
'SELECT s.* FROM {course_sections} s JOIN {course} c ON s.course = c.id WHERE s.id = ? AND c.format = ?',
array($itemid, 'board'), MUST_EXIST);
return course_get_format($section->course)->inplace_editable_update_section_name($section, $itemtype, $newvalue);
}
}

Olá,
Alguma previsão de atualização para este plugin?

To fix the inplace_editable error, you can copy the last function out of "course/format/topics/lib.php" into "course/format/board/lib.php" and update it for the "board" plugin rather than the "topics" plugin. You will be implementing the missing called as a function named "format_board_inplace_editable".

Hello
I am the admin of a Moodle platform (version 3.3+). My version of php is 7.1
In any course, if I use the Board course format, when I turne editing on, if I want to change the title of a topic with the "Edit topic name" function I get this error message:
""""""""""""""
Error calling update processor
File:
/lib/external/externallib.php
Line:
467
Stack trace:
Error code: inplaceeditableerror
* line 467 of /lib/external/externallib.php: moodle_exception thrown
* line 228 of /lib/externallib.php: call to core_external::update_inplace_editable()
* line 59 of /lib/ajax/service.php: call to external_api::call_external_function()
""""""""""""""
Changing the title of this section through the Edit topic Menu, I do not get this error message.
This error only appears with the Board course format, it does not appear with other course formats.
Do you know how to fix this problem?
Thank you.

Hi, Rodrigo. Thanks for building this simple yet very useful course format! Can you tell me if it might somehow be possible to combine the Onetopic TABS approach with the Board format's grid approach?
What I would love is to have course modules be selected via Tabs at the top of the page, and then have a grid of sections for each Module page.
thanks!

Rodrigo - on 3.0 using either the clean or Blocks layout, the General section still does not get outlined. Is there a code snippet I can add to get this outlined? When I try to add something to my custom CSS I can get the outline back but then all the parts below bump back into to a vertical column instead of side by side like I had set them up.

@ John - are you using the latest version of this plug in? Because that solved the same issue for me on Moodle 3.0

Hello, the format presents error when performing a backup in Moodle "error / setting_invalid_ui_label". How to solve the error?

Turns out I was not using 2016111600. I downloaded and all is working perfectly!

John, I will find out the problem... and fix the issue in the next week release!

Understand it now... each "Group" is a just a vertical column (not a row). So Group 1 @ 50% for column 1 with x topics in the column, then Group 2 @ 50% for column 2 with x topics in the column.
