[RESOLVED] Course summaries not showing on front page for logged in unenrolled students

[RESOLVED] Course summaries not showing on front page for logged in unenrolled students

Can anyone help with this puzzle?

We have our front page set to show a list of courses (whether users are logged in or not).

If not logged in, the list displays just fine - with course name and summary both showing. But once you log in, this seems to change if you're not enrolled as a student on a course (see attached pics).

  • Logged in and enrolled still see the correct display - course name and summary
  • Logged in an not enrolled only see the course names and not the summaries - to view this they have to click on a blue information button and it pops up in a new window.

I think we're on 2.2

We've tried changing the theme, making a front page default user, looking at permissions but haven't found why this is happening yet.

Can anyone suggest what we need to do to fix this discrepancy?

Many thanks for any help you can offer!

Vic

Hello there. Perhaps the FAQ Some of my courses have the course summaries showing but some only have an information icon. Why? might help you. I am linking to the 2.2 documentation as you say that is your version: https://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Course_FAQ
