Making User Profiles Visible to All (+ customisation)

Making User Profiles Visible to All (+ customisation)

Hello,

I'm working on my first moodle installation - please accept my apologies if I'm asking stupid or obvious questions (and help me by pointing me to the right place in the manual - I wasn't successful so far).

User Profiles are very important for my students. All students need to be able to browse all user profiles on the site and see all contact information. My first step was to enrol all students in the same course "All" and ensure that "hiddenuserfields" is set to NIL.

As admin user, I see the short user profile (description + course profile) AND a link to "Full profile". As a user, I can see the "Full profile" link for my own profile, but not for any other.

My questions:

  • How can I make ALL full profiles visible to ALL users?
  • How can I customise which information is shown in the short profiles?
  • How can I customise which information is shown in the user list?

Many thanks for any pointer you can give me.

*W.

Ok, here's the solution: Go to Users > Permissions > Define Roles > Authenticated User and set moodle/user:viewalldetails and moodle/user:viewdetails to Allow.


A customisation of profile information seems to be possible by editing /user/view.php and /user/index.php.

Yay for being able to read code.
