Front Page content - Newbie question

Front Page content - Newbie question

Hi,

How do I get text at the top of the front page of Moodle.
I´ve seen it in various samples. But haven´t found a way to
do it myself.
Tried the Front Page setting editing the text but that just gives me
a small square with text.

Has it something to do with:
"Include a topic section" ?

I that case could someone tell me how to find a place to add and edit topic sections?

I know this is a newbie question - but please give me a hand.

Hi Jonnie,

This stumped me for a while too. What you do is got to Site Adminstration->Front Page->Front Page Settings then turn on the option for Include a topic section.

Return to your Front Page and click on the button "Turn editing on". You can then add Resources and Activities to your new Topic section.

Enjoy!

Great Ron,
Yes, you´re right, it isn´t that obvious...

Thank You!

Just tried to do this now.
I tried - Compose a Text page and Compose a web page.
But all I get up front is a link to my pages.

For instance the moodle.org home page has all sorts of content
displayed...
"Welcome to Moodle!""
"Moodle Community"
and so forth..

How is that done? I feel incredibly stupid here - I do not understand.

The link to the stylesheet changes is what moodle.org does to create its front page look.

Another option is for you to create a label inside the topic. Inside this label, you can have a table, graphics, links, or whatever you want. Some people have created some very nice content in this way.

You might give it a try!

I think what you are after is "Add a label" to add content directly to the page. I used tht to add all the material on the top of my moodle page.

Examples at:

Thank you for all your suggestions.
I will fiddle around and see if I can accomplish what I want.
If not I will return with more newbie questions wink

Tried label first and it works fine, thanks Julian.

But if I add an image adding content with the html-editor to the label, the image does not show.
Not in the editor and not at the page.
I have already posted a similar question about this.

I went round and round with that one, only I wanted a graphic.  I tried the label one, but they have bullets next to them which moved the graphic off center.

Finally I discovered something I had not seen before.  When you turn editing on, there will be a tiny little extra edit/hand icon at the very top of the add resource/ activity box.  Click that and it opens the SUMMARY.  You can add gorgeous stuff with the html editor to be right at the top of your page.  I was SO happy when I found that tiny little icon.
