I've tried to install all plugins to get flexpage format working, but when i create a course with flexpage format i get this error :
Fatal error: Class course_format_flexpage_lib_condition contains 1 abstract method and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (core_availability\info::get_view_hidden_capability) in /$HOME/moodle/course/format/flexpage/lib/condition.php on line 32
Im using moodle 2.7.7 and i guess the plugins i downloaded are 2.7.0 its could be the problem ?
Best regards
I see that this plugin auto number the section (section-1, section-2 etc) In this way is impossible make a link to a specific section because a new add subsection for examploe inside section-1 change then other section id.
Hope is clear
Fixed bug with missing edit cog for section 0. Fixed bug with nod displaying the section show/hide control in Bootstrapbase-based themes.
Also released new version 2.4.3 for Moodle 2.4
I work for Moodle HQ, was authoring course format API change in Moodle 2.4 and submitted this course format as an example of the features that the new API can offer. I'm glad it has become a popular plugin.
As you know 2.7 was released today and now Moodle HQ started planning for 2.8. So it's a very good time to suggest new features. In order to suggest moving the plugin into core you need to create an issue in Moodle Tracker https://tracker.moodle.org/ under project "Moodle" and get approval from Marin Dougiamas. He will also be the person to discuss the funding with.
Probably will also make sense to create a forum topic and invite people to vote and comment on the issue.
While this plugin remains as an Add-on, the issues for improvements can be reported here:

1 - Allow the "One Section Per Page" vs. "All Sections One Page" decision in Course Settings (as with current Topics format).
2 - Sections and subsections should be collapsable by the student as well as by the teacher, e.g. as Collapsed Topics.
3 - Section/Subsection default topic title numbering should use outlining style numbers, not just sequential (i.e. a subsection of section 2 should be 2.1, not 3)
4 - Each Section should allow the course editor to specify a date range. In Course Settings, the default date range per section should be set, e.g. 1 week, but allow the Date Range for the section to be overridden. The date range for the Section can be shown or hidden on the Section itself. Changing the start date of the Course should shift the start dates of the Sections using default dates. This would allow the replacement of all "Weeks" formats as options on "Topics" formats.
5 - Needs to be in Moodle Core -- we host with a Moodle Partner, and they are very resistant to allowing non-Core plugins. Also, we've found that non-Core add-ons don't always tend to be maintained well through new versions of Moodle.
We are willing to help fund this development. How can we proceed?

With other course formats, turning on Grouping access for a section will also hide the section title. I would prefer this behavior if possible.

course format usually don't affect backup process but I can look at that. Can you please tell what version and what build number of Moodle core you are using?
