Opening courses on Moodle 4.3 or 4.4

[leehamgold42]

HI, I have use the snap theme for a long time now and I updated my moodle to 4.3 as I saw that there was an update, However when I go to access a course I get "
Fatal error: Declaration of theme_snap\output\core\course_renderer::course_section_cm_completion($course, $completioninfo, cm_info $mod, $displayoptions = []) must be compatible with core_course_renderer::course_section_cm_completion() in /home/hpscloud/public_html/moodle43/theme/snap/classes/output/core/course_renderer.php on line 292"

How can I resolved this? I have gone back to my previous moodle version of 4.1.1 with snap 4.1, and it's broken

I am having the same problem with Snap theme PHP 8.1 Moodle version 4.3.

Snap is using a method (core_course_renderer::course_section_cm_completion) that has been removed from core Moodle in 4.3+
From Moodle documentation:

=== 4.3 ===

• The core_course_renderer::course_section_cm_completion method has been removed, and can no longer be used
• External function core_course_external::get_course_contents() now returns a new field activitybadge with the data to display
  the activity badge when the module implements it.
• prepare_new_moduleinfo_data() now accepts a parameter "suffix" that will be added to the name of the completion rules.
• The method core_course_bulk_activity_completion_renderer:: edit_default_completion() has been deprecated and will be removed.
• The core_course\output\activity_information output class has been deprecated. Use core_course\output\activity_completion
  and core_course\output\activity_dates instead.

Alongside with that, the following methods have been deprecated too:

• core_course_renderer::render_activity_information()
• renderer_base::activity_information()

@EdTechSavvy do you have any ideas of how to fix it because I have emailed OpenLMS about the issue, but nobody have gotten back to me or have released an update to the plugin.

Yes, this is broken and needs to be fixed by the dev team. Snap 4.3 will not work with Moodle 4.3 as reported in Issue 284. The latest working Moodle version that you can use this theme with is Moodle 4.1. You will need to restore the database that you were using with 4.1 and you backed up before upgrading and reinstall Moodle 4.1x with Snap 4.1

This has been pending apparently for 5 months now. Just as a guidance for the average admin, Is the dev team still planning to fix this or is the guidance to abandon Snap and move twds another theme, since we we will have to move on from 4.1 at some point?

EDIT: Just installed Snap 4.4 on a 4.4 test site and it seems to work absolutely fine, where it didn't a while ago. So can we assume that this is fixed for good?

It was fixed in this commit last month - so this specific issue - yes.
