Introduction
The Collapsed Weeks course format is similar to the standard 'Weekly' format. It is based around the first format I created 'Collapsed Topics' except that the current week is always toggled on.
Download
Collapsed Weeks can be downloaded by choosing one of the following:
- Moodle 1.8
- Moodle 1.9
- Latest Development Version - for Moodle 2.0 - very unstable at the moment.
Installation
Please follow the instructions contained within the Readme.txt file contained in the download.
Usage
Selecting
To select the format, simply choose it from the list of course formats in the course settings. To show / hide a topic just click on its toggle.
Toggle State
When refreshing the page, the state of the 'toggles' is remembered. This is on a per browser session per course basis for as long as the browser remains open.
Changing the look
The Arrow
If you want to change the look and style of the arrow, simply change 'arrow_down.png' and 'arrow_up.png'.
FAQ
Q. How do I report an issue with Collapsed Weeks? A. Raise an issue on Moodle Tracker or post a discussion on the Moodle Course Formats Forum
Q. Is Collapsed Weeks Moodle 2.0 compatible? A. The latest version is getting there, but please use at your own risk. It does not have all of the desired changes to make it fully 2.0 compliant as I maintain it whilst Moodle 2.0 is still changing as development progresses.
