Made two alterations that you might find useful.

Firstly to be able to assign the teachers of a course to administrate the module with out them having to be administrators, this removes the problems where the LRC is not responsible for Moodle as some IT departments are a bit cautious about making people administrators.

Secondly to be able to specify links for particular categories of course, eg physics can have links to suitable resources that are not suitable for German etc.

Hope you find these useful.

Hei Richard
at the line 49 of block_learning_resources.php of the zip package you posted, there is a small bug.

It is written
if (isadmin() | isteacher($CFG->block_learning_resources_admin_course,$USER->id)) {
instead of
if (isadmin() || isteacher($CFG->block_learning_resources_admin_course,$USER->id)) {

Coding error: isteacher() should not be used without a valid course id as argument. Please notify the developer for this module.

this is exactly what we would like, but for some reason I can't see how to assign these rights (ie to non-Admins to access and edit the links for this Learning/Online Resources block).  How do we do this?

Sorry for the delay in this reply.

To set a course teachers to act as administrators for the Library Block then this needs to be selected from the list which is accessable via Moodle > Administration > Blocks > Learning Resources Settings

The block download is not currently available from the moodle site. Do you by any chance have a version for Moodle 1.8?

Thanks,

Tamara
