Tiles format

Maintained by David Watson
A course format which displays course topics as "Tiles", in a grid rather than as a list. When clicked, tile content is displayed under the tile with an animated transition. The layout adapts to different screen sizes and orientations. Within each tile, activities can also be set to display as "sub-tiles". For each tile, the teacher can pick an icon from a predefined set, or upload a background photo.

I love the look of this plugin and just what we are needing to aid navigation on long courses but I'm unsure about the accessibility of it. I'm struggling to navigate with it using a keyboard but haven't tested other areas. Do you have information on how it complies with WCAG AA? Many thanks, Jane
please, I have an error when changing the image of a mosaic, when I click on "Upload new photo" I get ERROR "A required parameter (sesskey) was missing" My hosting is from siteground.
Thx
Development request - Option to change Tiles text/heading color per course (similar manner as tile color).
If the chosen tile color is either too dark or light, it can clash with default text color causing accessibility problems.
Hello David!
Thank you very much for your work, I love this course format and I have been using it in all my courses.
However, I ran across a bug which only occurs in the Tiles format in combination with the Unilabel plugin: It seems impossible to toggle videos in full-screen if they are placed in a unilabel grid. I am reporting this here because the issue only occurs in the Tiles format, not in other course formats.
I have made a small demo course to try: https://lehrgangsbegleitung.alp.dillingen.de/course/view.php?id=89 --> guest access is enabled.
You can try to open the video in the grid and then go to full-screen mode. The modal apparently tries to resize itself, and this also seems to cause the active section in the course to resize somehow, leading to an unusable course situation.
I hope fixing the bug is not too much of a hurdle. Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards, Christian Mayr
Hello everyone! We are currently using version 3.9.0.13 (2020080613) of the plugin on Moodle version 3.9 and have been recently experiencing that tile images have been deleted. Some have come back on their own and others have been added, but deleted again. Any thoughts? We have also noticed that one of the broken images is pointing to the exact same file for another course - two separate courses pointing to the same file.
We are currently using 3.9.0.13 (2020080613) in moodle 3.10 and 3.11 and are noticing a bug where the professor role cannot see activity restrictions on courses with Tile Format applied. I'm attaching links to both an admin view and professor view. The .contentafterlink div is empty for professors for some reason. We've requested our host to update to the newest version but I wanted to point this out in case it doesn't resolve the issue once its added next Tuesday. Can you confirm your latest version solves this bug?

I have a problem wherein if my resource/activity located in the general section is displayed as in pop-out, the files in the general section become hidden every time I clicked in pop-out resource/activity.
I have a problem with the new update. It shows my students the hidden title content as grey blocks, while in the previous version they remided invisible for students. Is there a way to fix this?
Hey! Amazing format!
The only problem is that when I edit the settings of a "URL" activity and use "In pop-up" under appearance, the course format ignores it and displays as it was set to be the default, just "open" it (same window). It did the same thing with pdf files too, but I solved that problem when i unticked the checkbox in the format's settings.
There is the difference between the display of the option »Embed« with the “tiles format” form and without it (operating on the Alpha Moodle Theme).
What to do, since I would like the "same rsp. similar" display with the “tiles format” form.
Hello there smile,
does someone know, if it is possible to hide the category "Data preference" when using the tile format?
Thank you smile
Hi everyone!
I have a problem when I'm uploading the tuile photo.
Display an erreur: "Exception : imagejpeg() expects at most 3 arguments, 4 given"
So I can't upload the tuiles photos. Does anyone know the reason?
Thank you in advance smile
format style change also tooltip. I think you should add additional css class to modify style in course fromat container.
