Any chance you can show us a screen-grab or something that helps us understand the issue better because we tested things at our end but were not able to replicate this issue.

I guess you got me wrong.

In the solution that I suggested Admins will be setting the default state of the activities within a course and later when students explore the course whatever status they set the course activities it will be displayed accordingly.

So in a way it is actually working in the same concept that you had suggested just that we have provided admins an option to choose the default state for course activities.

We did have this thought before but decided to not pursue it since did not want to restrict our users from getting the best out of the product or course.

Would it be okay if we do a custom development for you wherein this restriction could be added?
Please let me know.

For now, we have improved the user flow between courses, sections, and activities.
We have for now made sure that these sections, courses, and activities title are clickable in nature most probably in next update we will make the whole card clickable in the "Card" layout

We have decided to include this as part of our next update of the Edwiser Course Formats plugin.

We have included this as part of our latest product version, you can have a look at it - https://moodle.org/plugins/format_remuiformat

We will have to add this as part of our next update along with some additional settings for "List" as well as "Card" layouts

We have not added this as a feature in the product as yet because most of our clients pointed out that this information played a very important role when it comes to recognizing the course section or activity that is part of the course.

Do let me know if otherwise

@Mike-Nodding - We have launched the latest version of Edwiser Course Formats plugin, kindly give it a try and do share your thoughts about it.

This has been resolved. It looks like the theme was requesting a category id=1 which was not present in the database. Once added the problem was resolved.
