adapt-toc

This extension provides a drawer-based table of contents for Adapt as an alternative to (or to complement) a traditional menu (e.g. adapt-contrib-boxMenu).

There are two modes of operation: simple and custom.

• In the simple case, all content objects are listed as links in the drawer. Any content objects that should not appear in the list can be excluded.

• For custom usage, groupings can be defined to create a hierarchy of content objects; for example to reflect a menu/submenu structure. Each group can have a title and there is no limit to the level of group nesting.

See example.json for configuration guidance.

If adapt-contrib-pageLevelProgress is enabled at course level (course.json), this extension calculates progress by the same method as adapt-contrib-pageLevelProgress. This is to ensure consistency of the progress indicators.
