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.

Hi, Lucia
I cannot see the issue in bitbucket, but I want to let you and Tiles developers know that there is an issue in Moodle core tracker currently in integration process (https://moodle.atlassian.net/browse/MDL-60912) to hopefully fix this incoherence the other way around, so that the overall completion percentage only will take into account the activities each student can access.
Hi David,
Thanks for the recent improvements!
Just a quick note: in Tiles, only visible activities are counted toward overall course completion, while in “My courses” all activities, including hidden ones, are included. This can cause confusion when comparing progress percentages.
I've reported here: https://bitbucket.org/dw8/moodle-format_tiles/issues/320/difference-in-course-completion
Thanks again!
When I am trying to install the plugin it shows a screen to save settings with white screen and no settings. When I click save it redirects to the same page white screen with only save settings button.

Hello,
That's a great course format. We're very fond of it.
Would it be possible to enhance it, so that LTI (external Tools) could open in a modal windows (pop up) ?
Thanks,
Buenas tardes a todos. Gracias David por tu valioso aporte! Soy administrador de un sitio Moodle versión 4.5.2 e instalé el plugin Tiles Format Release 4.5.0.21. Se me presenta el problema de que cuando activo la edición de las secciones dentro de un curso desaparecen todos los recursos y actividades.
Am I the only one, using Moodle 4.5, experiencing the Unexpected Token Error that I've reported here: https://bitbucket.org/dw8/moodle-format_tiles/issues/166/unexpected-token-error ?
is it possible to make it compatible with avif(S) files? or what file do i need to change this so that i can use avif files as tile pictures????
Amazing plugin! Is there any plan to do sub-topics? We have some courses that have a lot of content, and while we love our first course page/landing page to have 4 main tiles, user guides, course modules, exam, certificate, we have a need for course modules to have sub-topics under them, and then activities. So basically one more layer, Tile>Sub-tile>Activity. Is that possible? We are not yet on Moodle 4.5, but if we did upgrade, is there any way to have sub-sections also show up as tiles instead of how they are noted here: https://demo.evolutioncode.uk/course/view.php?id=5#module-214? And until we upgrade, is that an option currently? I really don't want to switch to another course format, this one is perfect. Thanks so much!
Hi David, first, congratulations on your great contribution. Then, let me tell you about my problem: when the "Tiles" course format is enabled, it's not possible to access course resources (such as PDFs, links, assignments, etc.) by clicking directly on them after entering a tile (course section). When trying to open a resource, the system immediately redirects to the main course tile view, preventing access to the content.
It's important to note that all resources can be accessed without any issues using the course index displayed in the left sidebar. The problem occurs exclusively when trying to navigate through the tiles. Environment Details:
Moodle Version: 4.3.3
Tiles Format Version: 4.3.0.64
Theme Version: Universe 1.5.8
Hola David, lo primer es felicitarte por tu gran contribución. Luego te comento mi problema, cuando el formato de curso "Mosaico" está activado, no es posible acceder a los recursos del curso (como archivos PDF, enlaces, tareas, etc.) haciendo clic directamente sobre ellos después de haber ingresado a un mosaico (sección del curso). Al intentar abrir un recurso, el sistema redirige inmediatamente a la vista principal de mosaicos del curso, impidiendo el acceso al contenido.
Es importante destacar que sí es posible acceder a todos los recursos sin ningún problema utilizando el índice del curso que se muestra en el panel lateral izquierdo. El problema ocurre exclusivamente al intentar navegar a través de los mosaicos. Detalles del Entorno:
Versión de Moodle: 4.3.3
Versión del Formato Mosaico (Tiles Format): 4.3.0.64
Versión del Tema: Universe 1.5.8
The tiles work really well and look great, the issue I have is with the word 'icon' appearing where activity and resources icons should be. For example a Folder icon etc. Is there a setting I need to check?
