Hey super people


I installed a collapse plug in, but when I go to trainingjapan.org, the first course is not collapsed. Anyone know what to do?


Thanks

The frontpage is not controlled by Collapsed Topics.  There may be a few places/settings to get your desired effect.

Go to Site Admin | Frontpage |Frontpage Settings |  and try the two settings that I show below.

Thanks, that cleaned it up.

Now I have a problem with this, the whole description shows up, any way to collapse this?


Thanks

Your question is driving me crazy.  Below you will see that my Frontpage courses have a clickable icon for displaying course summaries.  However, I cannot find the setting that allowed me to do it this way.  Maybe someone else will know (Mary C.)?

I do see this feature described in the Moodle docs, but the docs don't say where to find it.

Okay Mary, seems to be a combination of using Combo List for ???, and then to set the Site Admin | Appearance | Courses | Courses with summaries limit to something small, like "1".

David, take note.  Let us know if it is now working for you.

Mary, here is the odd thing.  I get these Info icons on my front page even though I have "Courses with summaries limit" set to 10, and I do not have 10 courses visible on my Front Page (in fact, I only have 5 courses visible.)  I wonder if this setting also has some interaction with hidden courses, since I do have many of my old courses hidden. (Someday, I will have to experiment.)
