Collapsible Topics format

Maintained by Jean-Roch Meurisse
Warning: since sections collapsing behaviour is now integrated into Moodle core, this plugin will not be maintained for Moodle 4.x The collapsible topics format is a clone of the core topics format that adds collapsing behaviour to sections in order to reduce page size.

Since collapsible behaviour is now implemented in moodle core, I don't think it's necessary to go on maintening this plugin any more

Hello. Any plans for Moodle 4.1? Regards.
Hello!
When can we expect a plugin update for Moodle version 4.0?
Just tried the fix and the progress bar is properly updated now, many thanks! The "Progress: X / X" shown when the progress is disabled seems to still have the issue tho.
Awesome! Many thanks for your work!!
Hi,
Thanks for reporting this
You're right, I fixed it. You can get the fix on github (branch moodle311). I'll publish a release in the next few days.

Hi,
Quick question, it looks like if I "Mark as done" an activity, the completion tracking shown on the topic is not automatically refreshed, and I need to refresh the page in order for the value to be updated.
Is that behaviour on purpose or an issue? Running a Moodle v3.11.5+ here.
Thanks,
Hi,
Actually, there are still two differences:
The plugin records the topics collapse state in the browser rather than in DB and it offers an optional topic progress bar
IMO these small differences do not justify continuing to maintain this plugin (and its companion collapsibleweeks)
Hi, is it correct to assume that there will be no Moodle 4-version of this plugin, since the Moodle 4 standard "topics"-format is collapsible?
thx!
Dear Community,
Has anyone tried the plugin yet on Moodle 3.11? Is it working with no issues?
Hi Lindsay,
I currently do not have a 3.10 running so it's difficult for me to reproduce. Could you check the browser console for potential javascript errors when trying to "expand all" and please record the issue in the bug tracker rather than here
Regards
Hi Jean-Roch,
We are testing v.3.9 of the plugin in our Moodle 3.10 development environment - because we've had some reports of students not being able to expand some topic sections within our production 3.10 environment, which uses v3.8 of the plugin.
With v.3.9, we are finding that while in the student view, the collapse/expand all function doesn't work for all topic sections but all topic sections can be individually expanded. Reading through some of the comments, we have javascript caching enabled and are having this issue. Do you have any other ideas of what we could try with v.3.9 to improve the course format's function in 3.10.4?
Thanks!
Hi Mark,
For consistency, we decided to use the color used for links. Anyway, you can override that by adding a custom scss rule in administration
.course-content ul.collapsibletopics li.section .sectionname {
color: your-color-code;
}
Regards
Dear
The topics always display in Blue. In the stylesheet however, it is easy to change this colour! A suggestion to make the colour for the topics a parameter?
Hi Fee,
I do not have a 3.10 installed at the time. Are you experiencing issues with 3.9 version of the plugin in your Moodle 3.10?
