We were wondering if the magnifying glass for feedback preview could be disabled.
We find it disturbing and fear that users click on it instead of "Answer the questions".
Thanks

@Andreas,
I agree with Greg that the Preview feature should be disabled by default for the Student role, as it can be confusing. Why not make it a capability (enabled for teacher role and disabled for Student role)?

Hi Greg and Joseph,
I agree too. Maybe an option in the feedback settings for that could be less expensive than a capability.
Best regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas
Has there been any progress on this? We are also finding that students click on the magnifying glass - it is much more obvious than the 'Answer the questions' link.
Kind regards, Bernadette

I have been customising the feedback module myself and I have included the code below to remove the preview icon.
Open the view.php file in /moodle/mod/feedback
comment out or delete lines 138 & 139 and edit line 141 to remove $previewlnk, so it looks like this:
//$previewimg = $OUTPUT->pix_icon('t/preview', get_string('preview'));
//$previewlnk = '<a href="'.$CFG->wwwroot.'/mod/feedback/print.php?id='.$id.'">'.$previewimg.'</a>';
echo $OUTPUT->heading(format_text($feedback->name));

@Huw Smith,
Of course that will remove the magnifying glass Preview icon and link from student view.
But it will also remove it from teacher view, where the Preview function is quite useful.
The real solution is to remove preview from student role only.
I hope Andreas will come up with a "clean" solution to this problem.
