Moodle: 2.0.2
I need to reset all users back to the DEFAULT My Moodle page. How?
I have already made it so that new users cannot customize this page. However, older users need to be reset back to default.
It would be great if there was an option to ONLY allow use of the DEFAULT My Moodle page setup.
Thanks!
I have the same issue- 'older uses not getting the updates', I would also like a 'Reset to default' button next to the customise this page. Is there a tracker for this, I coulden't see one but i'm pretty new at this.
I think the issue is here: 'my/index.php'
<!--
if (get_home_page() != HOMEPAGE_MY) {
if (optional_param('setdefaulthome', false, PARAM_BOOL)) {
set_user_preference('user_home_page_preference', HOMEPAGE_MY);
} else if (!empty($CFG->defaulthomepage) && $CFG->defaulthomepage == HOMEPAGE_USER) {
$PAGE->settingsnav->get('usercurrentsettings')->add(get_string('makethismyhome'), new moodle_url('/my/', array('setdefaulthome'=>true)), navigation_node::TYPE_SETTING);
}
}

Here we go, I have created a tracker for the issue.
you should add 2.1 and higher to the tracker.
To reset all users back to the default 'My Moodle' page, you can delete some records in the mdl_my_pages table.
Make sure you leave the records with a NULL userid though.
Something like this:
DELETE FROM mdl_my_pages WHERE userid <> 'NULL';
I've used this on Moodle 2.2 , but use this at your own RISK!
Test it on a non-production server first!
This method works well even in the moodle 2.3.
Thanks !
mdl_my_pages??? We have just upgraded to 2.2 and I am working out kinks. I need to reset all my pages to default page so was happy when I came across this post. Only problem is I can't find that table in the database????
Hey self! You were being dumb. You were in the wrong moodle database!
LOL! Don't you just hate it when that happens!
Based on code suggested in MDL-2668, i would say you need to remove corresponding 'my-index' entries from table 'block_instances'. Here is what i have done:
delete from mdl_block_instances where pagetypepattern = 'my-index' and parentcontextid in (select id from mdl_context where instanceid in (select userid from mdl_my_pages));
delete from mdl_my_pages where userid <> 'NULL';
Hi,
For those comming late to this discussion, there is a plugin allowing to reset all "My Moodle" pages, and it's included as a standard feature in Moodle 3.0
