Thought I would throw this up here in case its of use to anyone -- at least my teachers were pleased to have this functionality available to them more quickly than digging around:
Nice block, Bob
Very handy when using the patch that allows one to copy activities in a course. The latter patch only works with AJAX turned off. This provides an easy toggle to turn AJAX back on ..... making movement of the cloned activity (to where it is /they are tended to go) much more efficient.
Thanks

My instructors have found it very useful to toggle AJAX as it works great with some things and poorly with others (i.e., moving blocks up and down).
it's ok, installed,thanks
Hi Bob
First time I ran into an error with the Course Settings Block .. and I used it a lot over the past 2-3 weeks
When trying to change the number of visible topics, I get a coursenotupdated error.
I can make the change to the number of topics the old-fashioned way (Settings menu).

I'm sorry Larry, I didn't catch your post in my digest. I've got an update I'm posting to Modules and Plugins... by request the users wanted a single form with radio buttons. I've renamed it "Quickset" because there are so many blocks out there starting with "Course". If you have to reinstall, you can just rename the mdl_blocks record to "Quickset". Lang file is self-contained. Alternate link is here.
Hi Bob
This block is very useful for us - thanks very much for developing it.
I noticed a couple of things:
1. there are error messages in the log:
[09-Dec-2010 10:25:48] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: courseid in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\moodle\blocks\quickset\processform.php on line 16

Despite the error messages, the course settings are being updated correctly.
2. I had an apostrophe in the name of my town (Bishop's Stortford) in my user profile, and this caused a usernotupdated error to appear on the screen. When I removed the apostrophe the error disappeared. The apostrophe doesn't cause any problems when I edit my user profile in the normal way.
Many thanks
Thank you Barbara for pointing this out. I've corrected the code to remove the notice and have attached here (and will also attach at the Contrib and Plugins). Will investigate the other issue of "those dang apostraphes".
Fantastic! Thanks Bob.
Hi,
I have installed your Quick Setting block. But I can not view this block. Here I have enclosed my site. Please solve my problem
Assuming version 1.9, check permissions on the folder and contained files.
Do you have a new install for 2.2/2.3 up yet?
Sorry, came back with the Quickset block for 2.x last week. Find it here.
The "Course settings" block (heretofore named, "Quickset") has changed dramatically. Here's the 2.4 - 2.5 look (can be downloaded here):
NOTES:
- "Update settings" is the default focus button so <ENTER> will cause that button to be submitted with any changes to:
- Students see course?
- Grades visible?
- Visible sections
- "Edit sections" displays this screen:
Studying this screen you will discover it does everything it appears to do:
-
- Delete course sections from anywhere in the sequence (if resources exist in that section they will be moved to the "Zero" section -- a warning pops-up to remind you)
- Add sections in the middle or anywhere else
- Quickly reorder sections with no clicks and no reliance on how AJAX is feeling today.
- Edit the names for any of the sections which is particularly handy when first setting up a course (think of the "click savings"
SPECIAL THANKS TO TIM HUNT from whose question reordering code I stole generously
Acutally, don't thank me. That code pre-dates my involvement with the quiz module. It was originally due to Gustav Delius: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/commit/14afbbf
