What is this?

This is a sort of magic metablock. Suppose you're using Boost and you have a whole bunch of blocks making a course page longer than it should be, or cluttering up your Dashboard.

Using Multiblock you can collect all those blocks together and use 'one block's worth' of space and put all those blocks into the one space with one of several layouts, whether it's tabs or an accordion, or something else. Several preset layouts are bundled with Multiblock.

What styles of presentation are there?

  • Accordion
  • 2-column (split 33%/66%, split 66%/33%, split 50%/50%)
  • Dropdown
  • Tabbed list
  • Vertical tabs / pills

    Hi. Thank you for this excellent plugin.
    We would like to upgrade Moodle to 3.11. Is Multiblock working well with Moodle 3.11?

    Hello guys, I encountered an issue with the block (version 2020060102) not working on the 'frontpage' of Moodle. I found your own fix in https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-block_multiblock/pull/67. This fix does not seem to have been committed to the master as it is not in the version mentioned. Adding the code fixes my problem but it would be really nice if it could be pushed to the master? Thanks for this great plugin! Peter

    While testing on a 4.0.2 installation, we found this interesting behavior:
    1. Go to personal Dashboard.
    2. Turn editing on.
    3. Select Add a block.
    4. Select Multiblock.
    5. Select Actions menu (gear icon) and then select Configure Multiblock block.
    6. Go to Multiblock presentation style menu and select Columns: 2 equal.
    7. Select Save changes.



    Result: Only the Split and delete block option is displayed in the Actions menu.

    It looks like this block will not work correctly on Moodle 4.x. Do you plan to release 4.x version of this plugin?

    In moodle version 4.2 I can't edit the settings of a text block.
    Will there be any update?

    @Ricardo, please report any issues you have into our github issues tracker - what you describe doesn't sound familiar and looking at the plugin stats there are a number of 4.2 sites that have this plugin installed already.

    Hi, I love the multiblock plugin.
    Unfortunately it's not possible to use multiblock on the homepage on the left side/content page, because in Moodle it's not possible to add blocks on the left/content page. So thankfully it's possible on the dashboard. Great work!
