Flexible sections format

Hi Marina,
one of our users noted that if you highlight a section the subsections below that section are highlighted, too. Obviously, he would like to have more flexibility and highlight sections more specifically. Are there any plans for that?
Thank you for considering
Harald

Hi, Marina. the plugin is not working in Moodle 4.2. I use the New Learning theme. I can't collapse or expand the sections. In 4.1 it works fine.
I wrote to New Learning developer and he said: Just checked this plugin and seems there is a js bug and this plugin doesn't work in all themes, please watch the video:
Awaiting your reply,
Carlos

Actually, never mind. I guess the moving sections bulk edit tool will display on the course main page, so you'll have to overwrite this method anyway.

Hi Marina,
I'm also a course format developer (Multitopic format), and I'm looking at what's required to support Moodle 4.2. I think it's probably just the new bulk edit tools. I notice the bulk edit tool for moving sections is disabled on section pages:
course/format/classes/output/local/content/bulkedittools.php
function section_control_items
line: if (!$sectionreturn && has_capability('moodle/course:movesections', $context, $user)) {
[Adds move section bulk edit tool]
I was thinking about requesting it not be disabled, because I think this would make sense for my course format. It occurs to me, though, that it probably does make sense to disable this for Flexible sections format, since sections couldn't really be bulk moved if they're nested, so perhaps I shouldn't request it be changed. Would that be right?
Cheers,
James

Hi Marina,
Wondering if you put on your roadmap a sub section level completion bar status, based upon activity completion in this section (to help student to find their way in a long list of topics), the same way Jean-Roch Meurisse did it in format_collapsibletopics.
If this includes also capacity to keep collapsing state over sessions, this should be a dream.
Thanks & Regards
Benoit

Hello,
Sorry if I was not clear, it was the last plugin I was waiting for the Moodle 4.0.
The issues I have are with the latest version, and I'll put the list I have in the github so
Thanks

Hello Alexis, what do you mean you are waiting for it to go to Moodle 4.0? It already has a version for Moodle 4.0 and also the open issues list ( https://github.com/marinaglancy/moodle-format_flexsections/issues ) does not have any issues specific for Moodle 4.

Hi Marina,
thanks for the plugin, it's the last one I'm waiting for going to Moodle 4.0
I've tried on another one of my Moodle but I can't make it work properly with the course index (on the left).
It shows only my parent sections and I cannot fold or unfold nothing without going on the section.
Also if I scroll inside of a sub section, the blue cursor / highlight does not follow where I am in my course.
Also, once I'm in a sub section, If I go back to the parent one, the index is still on the sub section.

hi Boris, could you help us to reproduce this error? Do you have anything in error log? Will be great if you could open an issue in https://github.com/marinaglancy/moodle-format_flexsections/issues so we can discuss it there. TIA!

Unfortunately caused error 500 after installation.
When the site is accessed everything is ok, but if you log in as the admin the error is there. It doesn't affect students though.
The site is Moodle 4.0 with Boost theme on.
So far, the issue is solved by manual removing the plugin folder.
Too bad, the feature of nested sections seems awesome.
I hope, my comment ends up useful for the developers.
Hoping to hear about the plugin update patching the bug.
Cheers 👍

Huge thanks to Ruslan Kabalin for his help! The new version of format_flexsections for Moodle 4.0 is now released

Thanks for the work. Hope it will work well with the new version.

Hello! The first quick version for 4.0 is now released, however it has the same very old look as the previous versions of format_flexsections.
I'm currently working on the completely new release for 4.0 in-line with the 4.0 UI changes. You can follow development on github - https://github.com/marinaglancy/moodle-format_flexsections , branch new400
