Teachers and pupils at the university are really confused about the usage of the advanced upload. In my opinion, this is a great feature, but we've decide to minimize the amout of options in order to make easier for the teachers and students.

By the way, I deleted the folders of the subtypes and it still shows up on the course page. Am I missing something?

Take a look in config-dist.php for code to put in you config.

// These variables define DEFAULT block variables for new courses// If this one is set it overrides all others and is the only one used.//      

$CFG->defaultblocks_override = 'participants,activity_modules,search_forums,admin,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity';

//// These variables define the specific settings for defined course formats.

// They override any settings defined in the formats own config file.

//      $CFG->defaultblocks_site = 'site_main_menu,admin,course_list:course_summary,calendar_month';

//      $CFG->defaultblocks_social = 'participants,search_forums,calendar_month,calendar_upcoming,social_activities,recent_activity,admin,course_list';

//      $CFG->defaultblocks_topics = 'participants,activity_modules,search_forums,admin,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity';

//      $CFG->defaultblocks_weeks = 'participants,activity_modules,search_forums,admin,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity';

//

Also I do the following in my customized IMS import to order them to my liking.

function order_default_course_blocks($course) 

{ $contextid = get_context_instance(CONTEXT_COURSE,$course->id)->id;    

global $DB;    

$instances = $DB->get_recordset('block_instances', array('parentcontextid' => $contextid));    

foreach ($instances as $instance) 

{ switch ($instance->blockname) 

{ 

case "fac_help"; $instance->defaultweight = -6; break; 

case "help"; $instance->defaultweight = -6; break; 

case "stu_help"; $instance->defaultweight = -5; break; 

case "participants"; $instance->defaultweight = -4; break; 

case "messages"; $instance->defaultweight = 5; break; 

case "staff"; $instance->defaultweight = 6; break; }

 $DB->update_record('block_instances', $instance);    

}    

$instances->close();

}

I tried to delete the subtypes (offline, upload) folders but they still appears on the course page.
