Viewable Teacher Profiles

Viewable Teacher Profiles

I have a new install of Moodle.

I added a few course descriptions and there are some faculty/staff persons in the database.


I have the system set to allow guests to view the courses and no one but the course creator and the teacher for that course to be visible.

However, when I click on the teacher's name the link goes to the course again.

What I want is to have the teachers profile viewable to guests and students.

If anyone has any insight into this, please let me know.

Thank you,
Carlos

You can change the "Guest" user role permission "View user profiles" to allow.

Thanks for the response.

I have that setting to "Allow".

Also, in the courses, ALL the teachers are displaying as participants. I only want the teacher for that particular course to show in the list.

This is another thing that I've not be able to figure out.

Solved the second issue - as I thought, it was a simple fix that I overlooked. Made the correction by reading another thread.

I still cannot allow the "Guest" user to view the teacher profiles.

The profile can be viewed by anyone logged in, though.

You want a guest, ie non logged in user to view a teacher's profile? Think carefully before you do this as it means all your teachers could be "found" on google including their photos if they have them.Also it means your students' profiles would be visible too (as I don't know how you can separate the two) which might not be acceptable - if they are ok with that then fine: go to site administration>security>site policies and take out the tick of force users to log in for profiles

Thank you,

As I was working on this issue some things became more clear.

You are correct, I DO NOT want Google or any other "guest" to access this information. Once the person is logged in, they can then view the teachers profiles.

Thank you for you response and assistance!
