Onetopic format

Maintained by David Herney
Course format that allows showing each topic in a tab, keeping the current tab between calls to resources, in such a way that when it returns from a module as the blog or the glossary it returns to tab from where you started. This format is based on the Moodle standard format: "Topics".

Hi David,
Thanks for a nice plugin. We encountered a strange issue during update to Moodle 2.7.2. Somehow, the update process seems unaware of the installed onetopic plugin, as it does not list it among the plugins installed and/or need to be updated. It is quite easy for admins to overlook this omission among hundreds of listed plugins and continue with update process, assuming all the previously installed relevant plugins will be carried forward to the updated version. Unfortunately, the onetopic plugin does not, leading to a disastrous 'orphaned' topics for the courses with this format. After re-installation of the plugin, the resources and activities get bunched together hidden under the first topic, making it extremely hard to relocate them for persons who were not creators of the course, perhaps even for the creators.
I am not sure whether this is Moodle update issue or onetopic plugin issue. We have encountered the issue both on our development and production servers with different admins. Please have a look. Thanks.
Hi David,
That's just awesome!! Thx a million.

Sam
Hi...
I'm going to change the hidden sections behavior in the next days and I write here when finish.

Hi David,
I don't know if this has been asked before but would it be possible to completely hide a complete section (don't show the tab) when access is restricted and the completely hidden option is activated (the eye-icon is clicked). Now the tab is still shown and when the student clicks the tab, he/she (correctly) gets the "unable to view hidden sections" message.
When you don't set the restrict access rule to completely hidden, the tab should obviously be shown as is now the case.
With regards,
Sam
Hi David,
When using OneTopic on Moodle 2.4 in a course that has all its sections hidden, it displays section 0 twice.
Do you know how this issue can be fixed?
Thank you for your time,
Simon
Listo, liberada una versión temporal del formato para la versión 2.7+ de moodle. Estoy pendiente de algunas mejoras a propósito de la nueva versión de moodle.
Por favor, ayudar con pruebas y comentar cualquier problema que se encuentre.

Hi David,
We are going to upgrade our site to Moodle 2.7 in September - are there an update on Onetopic format so it will work on Moodle 2.7 in september?

Hi David,
There seems to be a problem with onetopic in Moodle 2.6.2.
When I add a course and set it to onetopic format there is no news forum added.
If I create a course with a standard format (or other non standard formats like Grid) the news forum is added correctly.
Having created a course with a standard forum I can then switch to onetopic and the news forum will be there.
In short, when you create a course with onetopic the news forum is not being added.
Thanks for making this plugin available smile
Hola Alex... ¿te aseguraste de bajar la versión que aplica para el moodle que tienes? a mi me suena a que tengas una versión diferente por el error que mencionas. Verifica que tengas la versión "pantalio (2012112603)". Esa versión en la línea 42 no utiliza esa función que muestra el error por lo que debes tener un archivo diferente.
Saludos
Hola David.
He instalado el onetopic en la version 2.4.9 y al activar el formato me da el siguiente error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function course_set_display() in C:\xampp\htdocs\moodle\course\format\onetopic\format.php on line 42
Es un servidor de produccion. Es un windows. El real es un linux.
Hola Chriss...
el formato no tiene una configuración para eso, él toma la apariencia de las pestañas de moodle. Sin embargo, lo que dices se puede hacer por hojas de estilo, ya sea del tema de moodle que usas en el curso o por estilos que incrustes en tu página, pero para ello necesitas conocimientos en CSS, con estilos CSS puedes hacer que la apariencia de las pestañas cambie en muchos elementos de su aspecto. Si decides hacerlo por allí, entonces debes considerar que los cambios que hagas podrían repercutir en las diferentes funcionalidades de moodle que tienen pestañas (como las calificaciones), para evitar que eso suceda entonces simplemente debes hacer que los temas modificados estén contenidos por la clase ".single-section"
Saludos
Hola David, me agrada mucho tu format.
Quisiera saber si hay posibilidad de darle a cada pestaña su estilo propio, por ejemplo, color.
Hay forma de poner las pestañas verticales?
Saludos y gracias por el aporte
Hi Gregory...
what version are you using?
The move left-right is in right contextual menu. I try it in 2.6+ moodle version and work fine. Please, send me a print screen with your interface to see the problem.
Move to other tab (topic) is not possible directly with JavaScript, you need move the resource to "topic 0", select the target topic and after move the resource to this.
Saludos
Hi David,
We have two issues with this format after upgrading it. The first is that we are no longer able to move "File/Folders/Pages/Labels...." left or right, this option is no longer available. The second is that we cannot move "Files/Folders/Pages/Labels..." from one Tab to another, only up or down.
For both of these issues when JavaScripting is disabled, we are able to move the items, enable the JavaScripting and problem back.
We have tried FireFox, IE & Chrome and the issue persists. Are we missing a setting here or is this a problem.
Your help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards
Greg
