OK, some big changes here to the front end, particularly in
course categories and course display.
Course categories can now be nested (to any level).
Courses and course categories can now be manually sorted
any way required.
There is a groovy front end for managing these, and a better
range of options for formatting the front page.
It all still needs some polishing, which I'll be doing over
the next couple of days, including better auto-sorting.
I would not use this on production systems just yet.
This sets the default value for on-the-fly forum subscription.
Defaults to on = subscribe.
(Also fixed a bug in postgres7.sql - a missing field for htmleditor!)
You can now hide/show individual activity modules and even delete them completely!
For example, if you hide the "choice" module, then all choice activities
will be hidden throughout the whole site, and "Choice" will not
appear on any "Add..." menu.
Deleting a module is a complete deletion of all data from the database.
If you want to try out the deletion on a real module, I suggest the
pgassignment module, since it will soon be deleted from CVS anyway
(because it's being replaced with workshop).
Look for "Manage modules" on the admin menu.
Now these are saved in a new table called course_display,
each user and each course can have independent settings.
I'm intending to expand this table later for all the other
course display stuff (like hidden topics etc)
Course creators are managed by /admin/creator.php , same way that admins.
Or if authetication module have 'auth_iscreator'-function (right now only ldap-module have) ,
users are added to creators at login time.
