maxsectionslimit #78

Closed tuttyk closed 9 months ago

Hello, There are a limite of sections ? Whenever I try to create a new section, I receive an error message stating, 'Cannot create new section as it would exceed the maximum number of sections allowed for this course ({$a}).' Interestingly, I am able to create sub-sections without any issues, but creating new sections is not possible. Do you have any ideas on how to resolve this limitation?

Thans for your help, Diana

Hi! Are you sure that this is a flex section problem? Did you check the maxsections limit in site administration > Courses > Course default settings > maxsections.

Hoping this is helping you!

This was changed in version 4.0.4, see also https://github.com/marinaglancy/moodle-format_flexsections/issues/20

the $CFG->maxsections applies only to the number of the sections on the first level.

The fact that the error message does not contain the actual limit but displays ({$a}) is a core problem and I recommend you to create an issue in Moodle tracker for it. The fix is very simple, this line https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/MOODLE_403_STABLE/course/format/classes/stateactions.php#L309

should have $maxsections as the 4th argument, not as the 3rd.
