< Back to wiki home ###JavaScript navigation settings - Use JavaScript navigation from Tiles main page (Default: Yes): When checked, if user clicks a Tile on the main course overview page, and has JavaScript, JS will be used to transition to tile contents. Tile contents will be stored locally in browser according to the other settings below. If unchecked, JS will not be used and legacy navigation will be used instead. The other JS settings below will be ignored.

• Allow sub tiles view (Default: Yes): Allow use of a course setting which, if selected, within a tile shows non-label activities as sub tiles, instead of standard list

• Use JS navigation for single section page (Default: Yes): When checked, any call for a single section page (&section=xx) will be handled using JavaScript, by launching the course main page, animated to open at the requested section via JS, rather than calling the old style PHP single section page

• Modal modules (Default: Page): Launch these course modules in modal window

• Modal resources (Default: PDF, HTML): Launch these resources in modal window

###Browser Session Storage (storing course content) - Assume consent to browser local storage (Default: No): If selected, user will not be shown a dialogue asking for consent to store data in browser local storage

• Max content items in browser Session Storage (Default: 8): When users are browsing on the main tiles screen, the browser will store the HTML for the Tiles overview screen itself, and the content of each Tile, up to the maximum number of items selected here. This enables a very fast response when a new tile is clicked. Setting this too high may result in the browser storage becoming full (although in testing so far this has not been an issue)

• Session stored Content Expires after (seconds) (Default: 120): When a user clicks a tile, if the tile content in the browser's Session Storage is older than this, it will still be displayed, but a background request will be made to the server for a fresh copy to replace it. This is to allow for subsequent updates to the course after the browser stored its copy. If the stored content is younger than this, it will be assumed to be up to date and will be displayed, with no server request made

• Session stored Content Delete after (minutes) (Default: 10): After each tile click, in order to keep space free for current HTML, the user's browser will run a clean up and delete from Session storage all stored content older than this (on the basis that it is no longer reliable, and that a new copy will be needed from the server anyway

###Colour settings - Force follow theme colour (Default: No): If set to yes, teachers will not be given a choice by this plugin and all tile colours below will be ignored. Instead an attempt will be made to get the theme's main brand colour and use that.

####Brand Colours - A series of colours which will be offered to teachers as tile colours under Course Administration > Edit settings > Course format

###Other settings - Custom CSS (Default: none): CSS to apply to course content section while course format is used. This will not be validated, so take care to enter valid code.

• Show section zero at top of all sections (Default: No): If checked, section zero (the very top section) will be shown on the course landing page and at the top of every course section page (i.e. at the top of every tile's contents). If unchecked (recommended), it will only be shown on the course landing page

• Allow label conversion to page (experimental) (Default: No): If checked, editing teachers will be given an option in each label's edit settings drop down to convert the label to a page. This is an experimental setting.
