Board — collaborative post-it board activity for Moodle

Hi Danou, many thanks for reporting this issue, and we will investigate it shortly.

Hi Edward, the current workflow with board backups and restores is that the user content is not included. Please contact us at support@brickfield.ie if you would like to discuss this further.

Hi, I am looking for the documentation of this plugin, I am looking to duplicate a board with all of the contents with it.

Dear Folks, we are running moodle 4.5.1 and the subversion of the theme_boost -> the so called theme_boost_union , or even to be more preciese the subversion of the subversion (to be more sleak and slim) https://github.com/moodle-an-hochschulen/moodle-theme_boost_union_child . Now, when we try to use the mod_board in the version 2024102002 it runs into problems with the jquery pseudo element ":editable". This results in an error an nothing gets compiled or displayed -> Blank page.
jquery-3.7.1.min.js:2 Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: unsupported pseudo: editable

Hi Colin, many thanks for your feedback, and for reporting on the issues with Board and Boost Magnific, which is outside of our supported themes, if anyone has a relevant patch, we would be happy to review it.

Hi Riana, many thanks for reporting your issue, sorry to hear you're experiencing difficulties since your Board upgrade, and we will try to resolve the issue, as being dealt with here at https://github.com/brickfield/moodle-mod_board/issues/162 as soon as possible.

Good day, we are using Moodle 4.5.1.
We have installed the latest update of the Board plugin - but we cannot add any boards at all. We used Moodle 4.4 last year and had no issues like this at all (even though the Board plugin indicated that it is only up to moodle 4.3) I tried making contact with Brickfields Education Labs through the Website contact form, but nobody has returned my email yet. We have tried various themes to determine if it could be a theme issue, but not working with any of the themes. Please can someone assist urgently?

Hey folks, love this tool and I've successfully downloaded the latest version to get it working in 4.5. I've noticed that it doesn't work in Boost Magnific - not your problem but this might be handy for others to know.

Hi Dominic, thanks for your feedback, and yes, we are discussing the option of some markdown styles in board notes/posts, in our issues section of our source repository here https://github.com/brickfield/moodle-mod_board.

Hi James, we have fixed a JQuery bug, which was causing the board to not appear in 4.5. This fix is available on our source repository here https://github.com/brickfield/moodle-mod_board, and we will be sorting a release to the plugins database shortly as well.

Thanks very much for this Karen! Massive oversight on my part.

Dear developers,
I would like to suggest introducing the option of text formatting in the plugin. To be specific, it is about the text formatting of text within the tiles with which you can fill the board.
It would be extremely helpful if text could be displayed in bold, italics and underlined and if line breaks could be inserted. These customisations would significantly increase the added value of the plugin.
Thank you in advance for your efforts and the time and effort involved.
Best Regards
Dominic

Hi David, we are confident that you are experiencing a workflow issue between an embedded board on the course page, and the URLs being configured to NOT open in a new window, which is causing the browser to not load the new page when the URL is clicked on.
We have previously introduced a new configuration for individual board instances, defaulting to off, called "Enable blank target". This is for accessibility purposes. If you are embedding your board, as you describe, you'll need to set this particular setting to on instead. Hope this helps!

Hi David, thanks for sharing your workflow issues with embedded URLs, we will look into this shortly.
Regards
Karen

Hi James, yes we will be getting a 4.5 version of Board ready, for shortly after the Moodle 4.5 release.
