General help

// If an html file named coursepolicy#.php (# symbol replaced by an actual course id), then the page will be displayed
//    with a requirement to click "Yes" before being able to continue with the course.

So to use this we have to make a moddledata/1/coursepolicy#.php for every course we will make in the future? Please explain a little better how that works.

Hi,

Whilst I realise I'm resurrecting an ancient thread here, I've recently had to hack some stuff apart a bit to get this working on Moodle 2.3.1 (recent upgrade). So anyone using this may wish to use the following method:

The changes to moodlelib.php I've made are now like this:

//hack to support course policies
    if (file_exists($CFG->dataroot.'/1/coursepolicy'.$course->id.'.html')) {
        $coursepoliciesagreed = split(',',$USER->coursepoliciesagreed);
        // If the course id is not in coursepoliciesagreed, display the course policy
        if(!in_array($course->id,$coursepoliciesagreed)) {

            $SESSION->wantsurl = qualified_me();
            redirect($coursepolicypath = $CFG->wwwroot.'/user/coursepolicy.php?id='.$course->id);
        }
    }

and I've had to unfortunately embed the content of the policy in the page through get_file_contents rather than an iframe, so coursepolicy.php is now like so:

Before echo '<div class="noticebox" align="center">';add:

$urlContent = file_get_contents($CFG->dataroot.'/1/coursepolicy'.$id.'.html');
$urlContent = trim($urlContent);

and replace

echo '<iframe src ="'.$coursepolicypage.'" width="70%"></iframe>';

with:

echo '<div style="width: 70%;" >'.$urlContent.'</div>';

This obviously injects the html directly into the page (not at all ideal), so it's important to ensure that it's well formed!
