Hi Haris,

Another possibility is to use  NetSapiensis' contributed Course Menu block instead of the core Navigation block. As I have zero PHP skills I have hacked this with CSS. There was a discussion in the Using Moodle forum here about removing items fromthe core Navigation block:

...and in the forum for the Course Menu block where I posted the CSS which I used:

Hi Dan,

I have been playing around further with this. Menu below shows a very minimal approach to navigation ie just links to each course and then the topics within each course.

It may be possible to hide elements using permissions, but I could not get this to work. So I resorted to what I know best: CSS hacks ; ). The hacks needed are explained in my post in the course menu discussion thread here:

Hi Ray,

Apologies but understanding of roles, permissions, capabilities is hazy. The setting shown above was initially 'Not Set'. Am using Moodle 2.03. I do not know what the intention is for the default behaviour.

I have therefore resorted to a CSS hack!

Hi Ray and Alex,

Thanks both. Ray I tried your suggestion. I think that you meant the setting below:

I changed this to 'prohibit' and saved. Also changed the one to do with course participants. This didn't have any affect on the navigation menu.

I have tried a css hack though which worked. It is possible to turn off the levels of the menu below the top level.

.depth_3 {
    display: none;
}

Result is show below:
