Blocks: Quicksets
block_quickset
Quickly set course and grades visibility, number of visible sections and "Edit sections" -- insert, delete, reorder, rename any course sections from one screen.

The "Course settings" block (heretofore named, "Quickset") has changed dramatically.
NOTES:
- "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
- "Edit sections" displays this screen (in screenshots):
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"

Maybe it is something with our config (I still find minor problems), but this is the only time I encountered anything like this.
Alos: If you accept other suggestions - It would be more user friendly, if the "submit changes" would also take you back to the course main page.
Quick question. We are using the previous version of your block with Moodle 2.5.1 and we still experience this error (the first one in the list - error writing to database):

DId you correct this in the newest version of the block?
Thanks,

So this bug is corrected in the next version?
Thanks,
Gabor
How you can replicate: Go to the edit sections part. Select a section. And click "add a course section" after selected.
But DO NOT wait until it is done, but quickly click on that button again.
There you go, error message, corrupt course.
Any ideas? Or do you have a simple version without this functionalty?
Of course one click is enough, but if the user double clicks on that button, Moodle wants to write twice to the database and... error.. .
BUT: is there a version for Moodle 2.6.1??
