moodle-block_login_userinfo
===========================
Moodle block which provides all functionality of block_login and displays additional information (username, avatar, logout button) as soon as the user is logged in


Requirements
============
This plugin requires Moodle 2.3+


Changes
=======
2012-11-27 - German language has been integrated into AMOS and was removed from this plugin. Please update your language packs with http://YOURMOODLEURL/admin/tool/langimport/index.php after installing this plugin version
2012-11-27 - Small code cleanup
2012-09-26 - Replace deprecated get_context_instance function
2012-06-25 - Initial version


Installation
============
Install the plugin like any other plugin to folder
/blocks/login_userinfo

See http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Installing_plugins for details on installing Moodle plugins


Placement
=========
block_login_userinfo is used ideally as sticky block and appears on all of your moodle pages at the same position

See http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Sticky_blocks for details about sticky blocks


Usage
=====
The block_login_userinfo plugin has two views:
As long as the user is logged out, it displays a login form just as block_login does.
As soon as the user is logged in, block_login dispears. In contrast to this, block_login_userinfo displays pleasant information about the logged in user like his/her username, his/her avatar. Additionally, it displays a logout button where the user expects it to be: exactly at the position where the login button was previously.

Furthermore, for teachers and admins, block_login_userinfo shows exactly the same information as the login info section which is normally found in the top right corner of your moodle page - especially information about role changes and about failed user logins.


Themes
======
block_login_userinfo should work with all themes from moodle core.

As block_login_userinfo duplicates information and widgets from the login info section which is normally found in the top right corner of your moodle page, I recommend to experienced themers to remove $OUTPUT->login_info() from your theme layout files.


Settings
========
block_login_userinfo has neither a settings page nor settings in config.php.


Further information
===================
block_login_userinfo is found in the Moodle Plugins repository: http://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=block_login_userinfo
