We've assigned course creators within categories and would like them to be able to delete courses within their categories as well. I've tried modifying the role to add 'delete courses' both within the category and in the global permissions, but there doesn't seem to be an option available to the course creator to delete a course.
How would they delete courses? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Julie
To create a simple GUI for course creators to delete a course, you may want to try this. It creates a "delete this course" link in the administration block of the course:
In the file block_admin.php under moodle/blocks/admin, add these few lines towards the end of the file (just before the line: "/// Should the following two be in this block?"):
if (has_capability('moodle/course:create', $context) and has_capability('moodle/course:manageactivities', $context)) {
$this->content->items[]='<a href="'.$CFG->wwwroot.'/course/delete.php?id='.$course->id.'">'."delete this course".'</a>';
$this->content->icons[]='<img src="'.$CFG->pixpath.'/i/cross_red_big.gif" class="icon" alt="" />';
}
