Quicksets 2.4-2.5

Moodle 2.4, 2.5
Released: torsdag, 20 juni 2013, 02:15

quickset ========

Usable with 2.4.x and 2.5.x

 

The "Course settings" block (heretofore named, "Quickset") has changed dramatically.  Here's the 2.4 - 2.5 look (can be downloaded here):

NOTES:

  1. "Update settings" is the default focus button so <ENTER> will cause that button to be submitted with any changes to:
    • Students see course?
    • Grades visible?
    • Visible sections
  2. "Edit sections" displays this screen:

Studying this screen you will discover it does everything it appears to do:

    • Delete course sections from anywhere in the sequence (if resources exist in that section they will be moved to the "Zero" section -- a warning pops-up to remind you)
    • Add sections in the middle or anywhere else
    • Quickly reorder sections with no clicks and no reliance on how AJAX is feeling today.
    • Edit the names for any of the sections which is particularly handy when first setting up a course (think of the "click savings"

SPECIAL THANKS TO TIM HUNT from whose question reordering code I stole generously
