Request for input/suggestions

[cdsmith-umn]

I am going to be working on refactoring and improving this plugin in the near future. Specifically, I want to reduce this plugin's reliance on the HTML DOM for module discovery. Currently, if a section's modules are not present in the DOM, then this plugin cannot become aware of them and the user cannot take any actions on those modules using this plugin. The Flexible Sections format is one example of a course format that experiences this problem.

I would appreciate input and suggestions as to how this plugin should work with modules that are not currently in the HTML DOM. Should it be as simple as the user being able to "Select all in section" for a section whose modules are not in the DOM and then apply an action to all of them? Should I implement a modal window that allows the user to select only some of the modules in a collapsed section? Are there other ideas?

Hopefully some of the administrators whose Moodle instances use this plugin will see this, gather some feedback from their userbase, and forward that on to me. Any discussion around this will be appreciated!
