Course ID as a required field

Course ID as a required field

Hi all,

I would like to make the "course ID" field a required one to prevent instructors creating courses without filling this out, but it looks like there is no easy method to do this.

Is this possible with some local modification?

THanks in advance!

Is that the 'idnumber' field?

If so, you will need to change the code to do this. 

If you are willing to do this (and understand that this will make upgrades harder), then you need to open up course/edit_form.php, find the section that mentions idnumber, then add, after this:

$mform->addRule('idnumber', null, 'required', null, 'client');

Thanks Davo,


Yes, I need to change that. I was afraid, that I need to change the code itself, I tried to find an other solution (for example with the local folder), but of course it is fine.
