Front Page not displaying Combo List

Front Page not displaying Combo List

Running: Moodle 1.8.2, Solaris 10, Apache 2, PHP 5, MySQL

All of the sudden our front page went from displaying a combo list to just a list of categories yesterday. No settings were changed, as far as I know. The front page setting for both logged in and unauthenticated users says "combo list."

We have over 100 courses, does anyone know if the number of courses impacts whether or not the combo list can be displayed?

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Matthew

I know it's no consolation, but the same thing happened on our installation of Moodle 1.7.1+ at around the same date (not exactly sure when). Has anyone else had this, and do they know the answer?

Same question, also with 1.8.2, but we had over 100 courses already and it happened on or about the 29th...

Hmmm. I experienced the exact same problem twenty minutes ago. No clue, anyone?

Gentlemen,

I have finally found the answer. In the moodle/course/lib.php file on line 21 Moodle restricts the number of courses on the front page to 200:

define('FRONTPAGECOURSELIMIT', 200); // maximum number of courses displayed on the frontpage

Change the number and you are back in business.

Best regards,
Glen
