What can you do with Quick find list? 

Like the Quick Find List, this block displays a search box on the page, but instead of searching through users, searches through Courses.  Courses that match the search string can be displayed as:

  • shortname 
  • fullname 
  • Shortname + fullname
  • Fullname + Startdate course
  • Fullname + Course Category name
  • Shortname + Fullname + Course Category name

Searching course can be done on shortname, Fullname, Course IDnumber. 

If Javascript is available, the block will "Find as you type", otherwise a button will be displayed to submit the search.

Will there be a version of this block for Moodle version x.x?

If you'd like to use this block on a later version than the latest release says is supported, try it and see if it works.  There's usually no changes that would affect this block, so it's better to try it and let me know if there's a problem than to ask me if/when there will be an update. 

If you want to ensure yourself of a new release, please contact (sales@ltnc.nl) for more information on how you can contribute to the maintaince of this plugin. 

Please dont report bugs here

    Dear Mark,

    Thank you very much for this nice block which is saving me a lot of work as well as helping me to improve my knowledge of how blocks are programmed in Moodle 2.20

    I have installed it and tested in Moodle 2.0 and Moodle 2.2 It is not working in Moodle 2.0.3 despite the fact that Ajax is activated.
    I cannot upgrade to Moodle 2.2 until the summer and this block is very much demanded by my users.
    Could you please advice about what can be wrong in Moodle 2.0.3?

    I have the debugger to "SHOW ALL messages", but it just gets stuck trying to find the courses

    Hi Aaricia,
    I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't be working in 2.0.x, but that said I no longer have an instance of 2.0.x running so am unable to test it directly. Please try disabling Javascript in your browser (either in the browser settings or with a plugin like NoScript) and let me know if the non-Javascript version works. This will help narrow down the problem.

    Thanks for answering back, Mark.
    I installed Nonscript and stopped Javascript and Java. It didn't make any difference.

    I replaced json_encode with implode, but it didn't display anything either.
