Do you mean the course list that is in the middle of the page? If so then you can change this in site admin>front page>front page settings and change "non-logged in users"options to "none" Then the list only appears once logged in. If you mean the courses block at the side then you can hide this until users have logged in by turning on the editing, clickin on the assingn roles icon of the block and then in the settings block to the side, click on permissions and prevent guests from viewing the block
The second answer was the solution to my issue. Thanks....
Mary,
Do you know a way to hide the page list on the home page? I added a page resource to the home page but I don't want to show the link on the home page. I only want it linkable. Any idea how to hide it?
Mark - which Moodle version are you using?
Mary,
We are using 2.01
Use the main menu block -add your page there -get its URL; hide the main menu block with the eye and then paste the URL into wherever you want to make it as a link. It will still show even though the main menu block is hidden.
EDIT - no - sorry - the page will still appear in site pages in the navigation block once logged in -I presume that's what you are trying to hide - I will have another think...
I am trying to hide the Navigation block at the side in moodle 2.1.1 but when I click on the assign roles icon in the navigation block it says: Front Page Roles You are not able to assign any roles here. Any suggestion to get past this?
Sri - on the front page, turn on the editing and then click the assign roles icon, Then instead of looking in the centre of the page where you were before, go down the left side to a block "settings" and click "permissions" Then remove the permission to view the block from a guest.
Thanks a lot for the quick reply, that worked. Its not very intutive though
I just installed Moodle 2.1.1 from Bitnami (bitnami.org) I see that the blocks are not displayed in the front page. I want to show the login block here. I see the permissions is set properly but still the login block is not show. What else needs to be set, any idea?
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I've been searching forums forever for this. I agree it is not very intuitive, but it is VERY helpful to have.
Mary, you are my new hero!

Oh thankyou
Hi Mary...
I have followed your instruction as mentioned
"If you mean the courses block at the side then you can hide this until users have logged in by turning on the editing, clickin on the assingn roles icon of the block and then in the settings block to the side, click on permissions and prevent guests from viewing the block"
But when clicking on assign roles icon i get the following error
"Assign roles in Block: Navigation
You are not able to assign any roles here"
Hi there. Scroll down a bit further down the page and you will see a settings block like the screenshot. Click "permissions" and you will then be able to allow or prevent users from seeing the block
Hi Mary
I did what you mentioned + (How do I hide front page blocks from non-logged in users?)
but the result is noting and guest users can see Navigation Block, still!!! (snapshot is attached)
I just install new Moodle (version is 2.8.3)
Do you have any idea?
Please ignore this... Just got exactly what you meant... though Thanks for the info
Dear Mary,
