Block on New Courses

Hi everyone, I have a doubt, I need to create a new course that appears with the bock of Clock, Accesability, Administration and Mail in a left colum and Calendar in a right colum.


I am using Moodle 2.5.


Thanks a lot

I'm sure there is an option for default blocks in new courses somewhere, please look at the Moodle documentation.

To set new blocks as default is actually found in your site's config.php file.

Thanks Emma, I already have done that, however, I can not look any change. I have modified the config file and later when I load a new course appears the following label: "Could not find mods! Moodle"; besides, I can not add any activity from the edition mode.

I would guess that you have a mistake in your config file.  Make sure you follow these instructions - one stray comma or semi colon will create chaos!!

Can you copy and paste the line from config.php that you added and the exact error code that you are getting...

Sure, I have tried this without sucess:


//$CFG->defaultblocks_override = 'accessibility,jmail:calendar_month';

//$CFG->defaultblocks = 'accessibility,jmail,calendar_month';

//$CFG->defaultblocks_topics =  'accessibility,jmail:calendar_month';

You have to remove the two forward slashes - '//' - as they are the comment symbols in PHP.

Thanks Gareth, it's just a representative example, I know are comments...

And the full error message when you try to create a new course?  With debugging turned on?

Indeed, I have done a test adding a new course with the blocks of accessibility,jmail, calendar_month and I could create a new course with those defaults blocks and any message error appers. However, I dont have enabled the label "add activity" when I activate the Edition mode ON.
