Site administration>front page>front page settings> include a topic section. When this is checked/ticked then you will get an editing icon to add text to your front page

when you tick/check the "include a topic section" -then you go back to your front page and click the turn editing on button. Then you will have an edit icon to add text.

I did it!!

Is this your first time here?

Please note: this is NOT your school smile, it's the place where Moodle software is created and supported! If you are lost please ask your school to help you find the correct web address for your Moodle site.

To use Moodle.org fully you will need to make an account for yourself:

  1. Click the button below and fill out the form.
  2. An email will be immediately sent to your email address.
  3. Read your email, and click on the web link it contains.
  4. Your account will be confirmed and you will be logged in.
  5. Use the same username and password to log in next time.

How can I activate4 the "Create New Account button

I just copied the text in the Welcome message in the Front Page Description Summary.

But it looks that it is not the right place because it does not show whn trying to log in.



i also checked the "include a topic section" -then you go back to your front page and click the turn editing on button. And I did not see the edit icon to add text.

Please advice

Hi there
To provide instructions on the login page go to Administration ► Users ► Authentication ► Manage authentication then type the instructions in the box provided and save changes.
I hope this helps

This is great if you are using English but what if I want to change the text to Chinese? I can paste Chinese into the text field but Moodle 2.0 rejects characters. I also thought about just creating the page as an image containing all the information for creating an account but TinyMCE doesn't allow image upload here.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
