Hi All,

The combo list for the course listing stop showing me the course names. It is only showing me the category. Can anyone tell me who to fix this?

Thank you

Hi Yong
Are you an Administrator? If so, check the Front Page settings to see what has been set for users when they are not logged in and after they are logged in. It may be set to list of course categories.

The My Courses block will display the categories or courses depending on the Course Block settings - as far as I know, it won't display the combo list.

I hope this helps
Cheers
Teresa

Hi,

We're having the same problem on on of our Moodle sites. I've checked the front page settings and the course block settings. The interesting thing is that when I select Course Listing of the front page settings, nothing is listed.

We have several other Moodle sites on the same server and the ones that are configured to use the Combo list display it appropriately, only one does not work properly.

Thanks,

Hi!

It's been a long time ago since you posted this problem.

We're using Moodle version 1.9.8 and have the same problem after the number of courses reached 500 and more!

Did you find a way to fix this problem?

I posted the question to the developement forum, with no answer yet.

Cheers,

Monica

Dear All,

According to - http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-18785?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel - it appears to be a setting in /course/lib.php and should be configurable by setting it in config.php, i.e. define('FRONTPAGECOURSELIMIT',    600);

Cheers,

Gareth

Hi Gareth!

Thank you very much for answering!

This problem is solved! I didn't find anything in the doc's for setting the define in the config.php. I wondered why the define in courses/lib.php was set and then the if-statement after that. In the past I just set the define in courses/lib.php and it worked for 1.9.3.

Cheers,

Monica

Dear Monica,

No worries.  When you were looking in the doc's, did you find a suitable page where the information should be placed?  If so, I could add some info to that page.

Cheers,

Gareth

Dear Monica,

I had a bash at trying to write the documentation, but then realised I did not have all of the facts to create something that is complete.  So, I've raised http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDLSITE-1148.

Thanks,

Gareth
