Description

Its a little bit confusing that the structure isn't visible inn edit mode. Firstly I thought it doesn't work until I switch to standard mode.

Hi Ralf,

it was done on purpose, because the "edit mode" is really more complex than the "view mode". It supports AJAX, moving activities and a lot of exceptions. So, finally, I decided to leave it 100% unmodified while concentrating the job on "view mode" (that is, after all, where all the users are normally). That way, the course format can evolve over the time, mimicking all the new features in the standard "topics" course format.

I agree it's a bit confusing, but really was complex to hack "edit mode" and keep it working along the time.

Ciao

Hi Eloy,

well its ok for me. I thought a little bit about a good place to give this information to the admins. The best place is the readme.txt file and the database for modules.
