Hi all, many of our faculty migrating from Blackboard are geting stuck on the 'turn editing on' step.
Is there an easy way to have this turned on by default when a user with edit privs. logs in to the course?
Thanks!

You can put this near the top of course/view.php
if (!isset($USER->editing)) {
$USER->editing = true;
}
...but bear in mind it slows down the rendering of the course page, so think very carefully about doing this. Perhaps an email to everyone would also solve the problem.

Thanks Martin, I've tried the email and covered it in faculty trainings. It just doesn't seem to be sticking.
My plan is to leave it on during the initial phases, once the tendancy to think its broken because its new is past and alot of faculty are using it, I'll try setting it back.
As for the slow rendering, I don't think it will be too much of a problem, these folks are used to the hyper-snailspace of Blackboard, after all

Hi,
In our new Moodle 2.3 I've tried adding the code to default editing to on
if (!isset($USER->editing)) {
$USER->editing = true;
}
It works fine if you've got site admin rights - but not if you are an editing teacher. I know roles have changed considerably since this was originally scripted - but if it works for admin I'm assuming that it should work for editing teachers too. Can anyone offer a suggestion of what is missing (role permission or code) to get this working?
Thanks, Gordon.

How about changing as follows,
Go to line number 133 of course/view.php
if (!isset($USER->editing)) { $USER->editing = 0; }
change to
if (!isset($USER->editing)) { if ($PAGE->user_allowed_editing()) { $USER->editing = 1; if ($course->id == SITEID) { redirect($CFG->wwwroot . '/?redirect=0'); } else { $url = new moodle_url($PAGE->url, array('notifyeditingon' => 1)); redirect($url); } } else $USER->editing = 0; }
