Multitopic format accessibility issue - expand/close all sections

[elearningservicesgithub]

The current multitopic format does not have a feature to expand all and close all sections under each of the multitopic sections. This functionality is available in the collapsed topics format. Our disabilities team in our university reached out to us if this could be fixed in this plugin as a student reported to have an accessibility issue to open and close all sections without this feature.

Would be great if you could include this as a fix in the next upgrade of this plugin.

Hi @elearningservicesgithub,
The Multitopic format /should/ have an expand/collapse all topics feature. Could you give me the details of your server? Moodle version, PHP version, database. Could you also open a Multitopic page in Firefox, open the Inspector, and in the Search HTML box enter a#collapsesections . See if the element exists, what the visibility property is, and whether there's any CSS hiding it.
EDIT: The Multitopic format recently switched from using the display property to hide/show the Expand/Collapse all link to using the visibility property. If you had some CSS to hide the link while the page was loading, it will now make it permanently invisible, so that may be the first thing to check.

Hi @elearningservicesgithub,
Did you get the issue sorted? If so, could you tell me what it was, so I can pass the info on to anyone else who runs into the same problem?

Hi James-cnz,
Thanks. I was now able to sort this out following your response. The reason the 'expand all' and 'collapse all' links did not show up was due to the font colour being set to white which merged with our background and hence the text was not visible in our customised Moove theme. I changed the colour to match our university branding by updating the following CSS colour ((.section-collapsemenu .expandall, .section-collapsemenu .collapseall) and now this functionality is visble and working as intended. I will convey this to our disablities team and they should be happy.
