Is there a way that a teacher can have a particular block showing (i.e. Activities), but not have it show to the students?
Yes. If you click the icon on the block to assign roles (dont worry that you get a message saying you cant't) Then scroll down to the block's administration/settings and in the permissions for the block, set the student role to "prevent" for "view block".
Thanks, but it didn't work. However, I tried applying the settings to "authenticated user" and now it's working as intended. (Something unique to my permissions?)
Hi Mary
The "Assign Role" icon is available for teachers for all blocks except the Settings and Navigation Blocks.
Any idea how that can be allowed.
I've tried all the permission settings with no joy.
I'd like teacher to have the ability to do what you suggested, but only admins can do that.
Cheers

Moodle Version for above issue is 2.4.3+
Please forgive me if I'm a bit dense, but I'm new here....
Are you trying to say that functionality exists in Moodle 2.4.3 which will allow the display of certain blocks based upon user roles?
Specifically, we'd like to display a block just for folks who are in "nonpay" status, but no one else.
With versions prior to 2.4.3, can you think of a workaround which we could emply?
Thanks!
