Static Pages
We have seen Moodle installations where there was a need for displaying static information like an imprint, a faq or a contact page and this information couldn't be added everything to the frontpage. As Moodle doesn't have a "page" concept, admins started to create courses, place their information within these courses, open guest access to the course and link to this course from HTML blocks or the custom menu.
We thought that this course overhead doesn't make sense, so we created this plugin. It is designed to deliver static HTML documents, enriched with Moodle layout and navigation as a standard Moodle page which exist outside any course. Static pages will be available on catchy URLs like http://www.yourmoodle.com/static/faq.html and can be linked from Moodle HTML blocks, from your Moodle theme footer and so on.
Using this plugin, you can create information pages within moodle, but without misusing a whole course just for showing a textbox. It is not meant as a fully featured content management solution, especially as you have to work with raw HTML, but it is quite handy for experienced admins for creating some few static pages within Moodle.
Please see README file for details about the usage and features of this plugin.

RewriteRule ^static/(.*)\.html$ /local/staticpage/view.php?page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
Could it be that there is some incompatibility of the plugin with Bootstrap? I have read in the Readme file that it should work but, for example, the buttons are not displayed.
Thanks.
I would like to use static pages but I have following error on 'List of static pages'...
The static page is available and can be linked to at the following standard URL:
Available http://www.mysite.eu/courses/local/staticpage/view.php?page=faq
The static page should be available to at the following clean URL, but actually a browser won't be able to download and view it (perhaps there is something wrong with your webserver or mod_rewrite configuration - see README file for details):
I am using fasthosts to host the site and cannot locate htaccess folder. Do I need to create one?
Force Apache mod_rewrite is unticked!
Thank you for any advice.

I'm testing this plugin at present and am really excited by its potential. It seems to be working perfectly fine for me so far.
One question - I'd like to be able to see from the Moodle activity logs if my students are viewing the static pages. Is there a way to capture that information?
Thank you
Rob
I'm using Moodle 3.2+. This plugin is very useful. How can I access/permit my static pages if I'm logged out.
location /static {
rewrite ^/static/(.*)\.html$ /local/staticpage/view.php?page=$1&$query_string last;
}
Thanks again.
Thanks for this plug in, it was needed time ago. However, I am uploading an htm file and getting this code at the begining: YPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Do you know what I am doing wrong?

I am uploading an html file and I still get this line of code appears on the top of the page content:
"YPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd""
