Bulk Editing functionality

[kimberley-johnston]

Hiya,

We've just installed Moodle 4.2 on one of our test servers and we're just getting started testing new features. I was wondering if the bulk editing features that have been added to 4.2 are going to make their way into the Flex sections format? What I noticed so far is that I get the 'Bulk edit' button and the ability to select the various activities on my course page exists - but the sticky footer that gives the functionality was missing. If I changed to Topics then the sticky footer with the functions appears quite nicely.

I will confess to being on a slightly older version of flexsections - but I didn't see any mention of that functionality in your latest release (it is on my list of things to get updated though).

Let me know if I can be of any help with more information etc.

We are also interested about this, although we are still in Moodle 4.1

Hi Marina, we got questions about the ability to duplicate sections and subsections. The bulk features for 4.2 would help there. Any plans on updating and incorporating these features in your plugin. Thanks, Peter

You can fix this issue by adding the sticky footer template to /templates/local/content.mustache. Just below the end of the navigation, you add the following:

{{#bulkedittools}}
        {{$ core_courseformat/local/content/bulkedittools}}
            {{> core_courseformat/local/content/bulkedittools}}
        {{/ core_courseformat/local/content/bulkedittools}}
    {{/bulkedittools}}

Works like a charm
