    Description

      I have create a custom course format. In this format my uses_sections functions returns false. However, when I'm in turn on course editing I get the errors listed below.

      It seems that the strings are used by format/renderer.php when creating the icons for hiding and showing sections. However I see no check on this code to see if the format uses sections in the first place before throwing the error.

      Why should I need these strings if my format doesn't use sections.

      String does not exist. Please check your string definition for showfromothers/format_nosm_dashboard
