I agree with Devon and Elizabeth: it would be really useful to allow users to expand or collapse sections/subsections. Thank you.
Hello Marina,
Thank you for such a great contribution!
I'm trying to move the sections with the icon for that purpose, but it's greyed out and nothing happens when I try to move the section.
If I click on the icon, the page positions the section on top of the page, but nothing else happens either.
I'm on Moodle 2.9, Google Chrome.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello marina, is there a way to have the sections unavailable but still not hidden, the issue I´m having is that my students can not see their grades if the section is not available. Thanks for your help!
Hi,
On Moodle 3.0.2 the icons to modify or delete, ... a section or a subsection are 3px width ! (images are larger but there his 0.3em of padding on left and right) :
.format-flexsections .course-content ul.flexsections li.section .controls img {
padding-left: 0.3em;
padding-right: 0.3em;
}
This is a great plugin. Thank you. is there any way to have dates associated with the sections and subsections so that they appear in the listing and automatically appear in the calendar.
version compatible with 3.0 added
Hi Marina! Will you be updating this for 3.0?

Thanks!
No, not intentional at all. Please open the bug
Hi,
The name of a collapsed section is missing from the breadcrumbs on 2.8 and 2.9, with different themes (on pages like this: http://yoursite.com/course/view.php?id=XXXX&sectionid=YYYY). It was there on 2.6.
Is this intentional or should i open a new bug?
Inbar.
Hi All. Does anyone know if suggestions such as Elizabeth's to allow users to expand/collapse sections are being worked on? We really like the flex sections format, and find it most useful to have sections collapsed on the course homepage, so students can more easily get an overview of all the course units. Once they are within a unit however, I think many would prefer to then be able to expand the various sub-sections for quicker and easier navigation.
Done, there was a function name conflict with new API in 2.9 so I renamed my function. I did not create a new branch for 2.9 for easier maintenance, so 2.8 is also updated but without any effect on UI
Hi, any update for moodle 2.9?
Hi Marina,
sorry maybe i confused the plugins name, should i redirect to another forum topic?
Hello moris, this is format "flexsections" and your complain about "flexpage" format. They are two different plugins
