I test this plugin with moodle 4.0 and he doesn't work. He breaks moodle with à http error 500. WARNING : It's not possible to uninstall the plugin so do not install this if you have a moodle V4.0 !

Will "Flexible Sections" work with Moodle 4.0? Best regards.
Pete Learoyd
Similar to the previous questions, can you confirm if "Flexible Sections" will work with Moodle 4.0? I don't see a version for 4.0 showing yet.
Thanks!

Hi there,
would the latest version work with the latest version of Moodle?

Thank you for this useful plugin.
I am using it (v3.5.1 2020051100) in a new Moodle installation (v3.10.1 20210130, after an old Moodle server's hardware failure), with the default Boost theme. It works, seemingly as it was intended and as I used it in the older Moodle.
Would it be possible to make the sub-topics collapsible? Maybe even making that an editor's option?

Will this plugin get an update to officially work with 3.9? We are very dependant on this plugin.

Hi, I think it's a good idea to insert the ability to have a css class for each section

however, essential theme has reached end of life, so unfortunately, it is not possible to run it in Moodle 3.7 and above

Seems to not work in Essentials theme. Bummer. Im using Moodle 3.6, and if I change my theme to boost it works. We have already adopted Essentials though.

It is not working for me in Moodle 3.6.1 with the essentials theme. The review tab states it should work with my version (maybe not essentials). It installs, and is available to use. However topic names do not appear. I clicked the edit button in the topic, unchecked the Custom box next to the section name and type a name. On save the section name does not appear. I saved the section with both expanded and collapsed, and the section name never appears. Is it essentials? Is it my moodle version?

Hello Marina,
Congratulations for your flexible sections plugin. I saw it in action on a platform and I would like to put it on mine too, but I saw that it is not suitable for the version of Moodle 3.7. Will there also be a more updated version for more recent platforms?
Thanks.
Good day.
David
