Set Course as Front Page

Set Course as Front Page

Hello,

I use Moodle currently with only one course and there currently no plans to change this. Is is possible to set .../course.php?id=2 as my front page?

Currently all I show on the front page is "Click here to start". That "works" but is really clumsy.

Thank You
Ludger

Dear Ludger,

Have you followed these instructions to customise your home page. https://docs.moodle.org/400/en/Change_your_front_page

Let me know if it doesn't work.

Thanks!

Hello,

all of this works but none of this is an answer to my question. 

I guess, it's not easily possible. 

Thank you.

Hi,

with a javascript you can redirect to your course but that's mean no front page. It's that you want ?

Have a nice day.

Dominique.

Hi Ludger,

So having only one course I can understand you thinking here, but I don't think it is very practical to do this.

In my opinion I would rather take the user to the dashboard after login and just enroll them. This then acts as they information page and they can immediately see the course. You can then take it a step further and hide items with CSS on the menu if you really need to.

This is more practical, it makes navigational sense and does not create any coding or navigational issues on your site.

I hope it helps.
