Moodle Mobile 2.9 release notes
Release date: 29th February 2016
Complete list of issues for Moodle Mobile 2.9
New features
- Glossary - users can browse glossary entries (requires Moodle 2.6 onwards with the Moodle App additional features plugin installed).
- Course and activity links can be followed using the app. For example, a link to a glossary entry will open in the app, or a link to a different course will show that course in the app. This allows any activity to be displayed.
Improvements
- Downloaded files now keep their original name so they can be easily found by other apps (such as the PDF browser).
- Each page of the app now has a unique CSS class name. This means that specific pages may be styled by remote themes.
Fixes
- SCORM player bugs fixed
- Embedded videos now work
- Longer chat messages are displayed in full
Moodle App additional features plugin
- New option to check if the plugin is correctly configured
- New setting to support custom URL schemes
