name of a module inside course instead of description

Hi everyone,

I've been dealing with this probleem for a while now and I've done my best to find out why I can't get the description of my module to be shown.

To make it simple I've copied the Label module and give it a new name NewLabel and changed everything to NewLabels. After installation I get the name of this module inside my courses if I make one!

Example:

The NewLabel description is "What is Moodle?"

Instead of "What is Moodle?" I get NewLabel!

Does anyone have any tips.

Thanks in advance.

The 'label' module is a really bad test case to use - there is special case code all over Moodle core to deal with it differently from every other module type (which is probably why your copy of it is behaving differently from the original).

Hi Leo,

From your first post it is not clear at all what you are trying to do.

I'd like to make a module that would be used as a bookmark and will only have a editbox for the name of the link.

Once I've added this module, I'll load it in YUI menu so that users could use it as a link.

Hope it is clear

thanks

I still do not understand why you would do this "I've copied the Label module" for your new module.

Making bookmarks to be able to click and go to a bookmark.

I thought that if I copy the the label module and just change the name to something else, I'd be able to change the description of the label to a editbox, so that you could some text and then use the new module via de YUI menu as a bookmark.

In YUI menu I've enabled the module and it works fine, the only problem is that I can't get the text from the new editbox to show up.

Is there another way to make bookmarks available via YUI menu?
