Hi, I'd like to set a default Dashboard as in https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Dashboard#Setting_the_default_Dashboard_for_new_users
but I don't want it to be the same for all users. I'd like it to be:
- a default Dashboard for new students
- a different Dashboard for new parents
- a different Dashboard for new teachers
Do you think it's possible?
Thanks a lot.
version: Moodle (e.g. 3.2.1)
Unless somebody has a great idea, I don't think that can be done.
Anyway, how would you know who is a new student/teacher/parent? In general, these roles are not assigned at site level and certainly not when the account is creatd.
Of course I know, I mean when I create a new user I certainly know what kind of user it is...
I'm sure you do, but how do you propose that Moodle will know what you know?
There is currently no option in Moodle authentication to specify a type of user. So what you really want to do is (something like) create a default Dashboard based on a custom profile field. This is theoretically possible but would require a custom plugin to be developed.
