This moodle mod allows to display links to other courses. This mod is displayed in a label.

Goals

This mod goals are to displays in a course links to others courses in order to have a navigation between several courses.

Requirements

• Moodle 3.7 to 4.5.
  -> Tests still in progress.
  
• Use Boost theme or a theme which extends Boost theme (need bootstrap).

Installation

1. Local plugin installation

• With git:

  git clone https://github.com/andurif/moodle-mod_courselinks.git mod/courselinks

• Download way:

  Download the zip from https://github.com/andurif/moodle-mod_courselinks/archive/refs/heads/main.zip, unzip it in mod/ folder and rename it "courselinks" if necessary or install it from the "Install plugin" page if you have the right permissions.

Presentation / Features

Display links to others courses according three display types for now: - Card: links to courses will be display as cards with their own course image. - List : links to courses will be listed one below the other. - Navigation menu: links to courses will be displayed on a menu where each course will be a menu item.

Be careful, a link is displayed only for users with access rights to this course (unless you force the display in the form) !
Besides when you want to add a resource only courses you manage will be displayed in the form (filter on the moodle/role:assign "Assign roles to users" capability).

You can also choose the way to display to linked course: in a new window, a new tab...

Possible improvements

• Add other display types.
• Improve responsive.
• Be less dependent on an extended Boost theme and testing more on other theme types.
• Add setting to set up if we want to use other courses than only courses we manage ?
