Thank you! Great plugin!
It looks like this plugin will not work correctly on Moodle 5.x. Do you plan to release 5.x version of this plugin?
Hi Marina
Do you think Moodle will implement the characteristic of mutiple levels of subsections (present in this plugin) in the new "Custom sections" format. The fact is that my organisation has to decide between Flexible sections and Curstom sections, knowing we need multiple levels of subsections and an alternative that will be mantained in the future.
Thanks in advance.
My apologies for reposting my question from May 14th, but I'm still wondering if others experience the same thing (in which case I'll post it to the github issues), or is it something I should troubleshoot on my end.
In Moodle 4.1, we're unable to drag and drop SECTIONS in the course index. Activities and Resources work, but not full sections. Is this the same for others?
Marina is, I think is referring to the new Custom Sections https://docs.moodle.org/404/en/Course_formats#Custom_sections in 4.4, but like you I don't think the subsections support is in 4.4, I think that's going to be a 4.5 feature perhaps. Could you clarify Marina?
Marina, can you clarify "core formats in 4.4... now support subsections?" I don't see any option for subsections in 4.4 nor do I find any reference to it in the "what's new" documentation.
Version 4.4 is not supported. Please follow the issues in the plugin issue tracker for the progress.
I recommend you to migrate to the core formats in 4.4 since they now support subsections.
Hi, I updated to Moodle 4.4+ today. Now in all courses using the felxible sections format the course index is not shown! Please fix this! Thank's.

Hello,
Would it be possible to add columns to each section separately? For example one section shows one column and another section shows two columns.
Thanks,
Hello Marina,
I am having some issues with setting anchors when subsections are "hidden" in a lower level.
We want to create a structure where we can link between content in different sections, but we do not want all sections to be open and visible so as not to overwhelm students with content. Is there a way to create a link/anchor to a section that is hidden and have it "open" when the link is clicked?
Best
Hello Marina, does this plugin work on the Mobile app?
