How do I turn on the pagination features of the Visual Table of Contents?

Michael.Peters71

Some more control over tile pagination is specifically referenced as a (extremely useful, IMHO) feature of the Visual TOC here, and elsewhere. I assume there are some new properties and values I can add to the config.txt for this. However, it isn't referenced in the Managing the Visual TOC documentation, and the config.txt file I'm looking at doesn't have any properties related to pagination.

Hi @Michael Peters​  - I've reached out to the author of that blog post to get some clarification. If he doesn't respond here, I'll circle back with anything he tells me directly. Cheers!

Hi @Michael Peters​ you are correct, this is missing from our documentation so we'll update that. Can you try adding this single line to the visual table of content's config.txt file? With quotes: "usePaging": true

 

So the end of the file should look something like this:

...<previous lines>...

"displayProgress": true,

     "completionProgress": false,

     "usePaging": true

  }

}

 

If this doesn't work, please let me know which Brightspace site you're trying to update and I can take a look for you. Thanks!

That worked perfectly, thank you! There are no values I can add, just true/false? No manually setting tiles-per-page, for example?

 

Even still, that makes a big difference for courses with lots of modules. Thanks for the quick reply! Get it in the docs! 😀
