The Moodle plugin "mod_unilabel" enables you to include some nice formated text on the course- or frontpage.
There are 5 different content types included (extendable sub plugins):

  • Simple text
  • Carousel
  • Collapsed text
  • Course teaser
  • Topic teaser

Usage

The configuration consists of two steps (except the "Simple text" type).
  1. The creation of a new instance by using the activity chooser.
  2. The configuration of the content depending on the content type you chose in the first step.

Description of the content types

Simple text
This content type just show the label as you already know
Carousel
In this content type you can define a series of images.
Each image is shown in a slide show.
You can also define a caption to each image that is show inside the slide item.
For each image you can define a url what makes the image to a clickable button.
The carousel is by default responsive to different screen sizes.
To optimize the responsivity to each of the images you can assigne a mobile optimized image.
This mobile image is shown on small devices smaller than 768 px.
Grid
In this content type you can define a series of images and contents/urls.
The grid is by default responsive to different screen sizes.
You can set a column count for the grid to define how many tiles are shown in one row.
On smaller screens the column count is reduced by a half of the defined count.
On mobile devices like cellphones only one column is shown.
To optimize the responsivity to each of the images you can assign a mobile optimized image.
This mobile image is shown on small devices smaller than 768 px.
If you have defined a content for a slide the content is shown as a modal dialog if you click the slide.
If you have defined a url for a slide on click the url is loaded.
Collapsed text
This content type offers you two options:
  1. a folded content
  2. a modal dialog containing the content.
Both types can be used with or without animation
Course teaser
Mainly intended to show on the frontpage it shows the titles and images of selected courses.
The presentation can be a carousel or a grid.
Each Item is a clickable button that brings the user to the related course.
Topic teaser
Mainly intended to show on the frontpage it shows the description of topics of a selected course.
The topics will be shown as carousel or as grid.
If you click on such a shown topic a modal dialog shows the topic content.

    Hello, we want to use the course teaser to show selected courses on the frontpage. It shows the titles and images of selected courses.
    Problem: The course title ist above the image. So the images are not in line at the top.
    1) Can I get the text under the image?
    2) Is it possible to customize the text attributes? The text is very big.

    What can I tell our administrator?

    Hello,
    I am experiencing some issues with the unilabel on our Moodle 4.1
    I have opened two threads on the Moodle in English forum:
    1. https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=449805
    2. https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=449806
    I see the specialists are here, so just posting the links here to smile

    Hi,
    a user asked for the following "problems":
    --------------------------
    I like to use the universal text field in grid form to structure my courses. I have two questions about this:
    Question1: From time to time, the order of my created tiles is simply swapped. This can be fixed by editing and saving several times without actually changing anything.

    Question 2: Is there a way to swap the order of the tiles? So far, I haven't found a way, except for the unintentional swap as described in question 1.
    --------------------------

    Can someone explain to me or the user how the order is created? Is it possible to set the order?

    Thanks, Birgit from germay!

    Hi Birgit, the new version 4.3.3 that I have just released, offers the possibility to change the order of the elements and to delete elements.
    Best regards

    Hello Andreas,

    mod_unilabel produces the following error when installing on Moodle 4.4. Default exception handler: The plugin 'unilabeltype_carousel' was installed in the wrong location '$CFG->dirroot/mod/unilabel'. The installation should take place here: '

    Hi Friedhelm,

    it seems that you have copied the source code of the unilabel plugin to the wrong directory.
    Please check the path you used.
    The plugin must be copied to the folder: your-moodle/mod/unilabel.

    Best regards
    Andreas

    Hi,
    We have a problem with unilabel when we are using "login as" method. All the links are not working. Does anyone knows something about it?
  • Andreas Grabs

    Hi, this is a general behaviour of the "Login as" feature and has nothing to do with the Unilabel. It also happens on other content pages.
    I would recommend you the "Companion account" plugin (https://moodle.org/plugins/auth_companion) to test your course from the students perspective.

    Thank you very much, Andreas.
    Do you have a specific example for another case in which "login as..." cause similar problem?

    I'm sorry, but this is not the right place to give you sufficient support. I would very much appreciate it if you would ask here: https://github.com/grabs/moodle-mod_unilabel/issues

    We just updated the unilabel activity (2024050802) (Moodle version 4.3.6+ (Build: 20240821). In our version the "modal dialogue" within the collapsible text does not work. Instead of a pop-up it still shows the collapsible text...
