Hi all,

in the Center of Innovation for the Information Society (CICEI) at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain), a block named Random content has been developed. This block allows to show randomly the titles of the chapters of a book (book module).

Instructions of how to use it are in its download page in Modules and Plugins database. There are versions for Moodle 1.6 and Moodle 1.9.

We hope you enjoy it. Any idea will be well received. We'll try to answer here any questions related to this block.

Borja.

Hi all,

I have added a new entry in the database Modules and plugins for the block presented in this discussion. And I only can access this entry with my user. Nor with guest user nor with some friends users.

Anybody can tell me if this database has the option Require approval? activated. Or what person should I contact?.

Regards,

Borja.

Hi Isha,

the visibility of the book is controlled by moodle, so participants must have capabilities to see books.
