--[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 14:31, 10 May 2010 (UTC) I called this page Lesson settings.  I wonder if it could be called Lesson defaults.  All the activities have this kind of page. Probably extends to blocks and resources as well.  Meaning that a teacher can edit settings, but the admin sets the site wide functions/defaults.  This kind of terminology will be less confusing for a teacher/student and understandable (or should be) to an admin.


==Moodle 2.0 new places for settings==
Overview from UI (User interface).  Activity modules now can have their look changed via Settings>Plugins>Activity Modules. Lesson has one of the larger screens with 9 variables.  I have two questions: 
1. What should be the generic name for these kinds of pages?  See [[Talk:Site_administration_menu_2.0]] for more discussion on this.  I decided to go ahead and call this page Lesson settings. Later came up with an alternative name of "Lesson defaults".  Figure we can change it later.
2. What should be the format for these kinds of pages?  I will use Lesson settings to try out some examples.
==Example 1==
*'''Slideshow width''' (lesson_slideshowwidth} - Sets the width of the slideshow only when this feature is enabled in a Lesson's "Change settings".  Default 640.
* '''Slideshow height''' lesson_slideshowheight - Sets the height of the slideshow Sets the width of the slideshow only when this feature is enabled in a Lesson's "Change settings".  Default 480.
==Example 2==
*'''Slideshow width''' variable name: lesson_slideshowwidth, Default 640.
**Sets the width of the slideshow Sets the width of the slideshow only when this feature is enabled in a Lesson's "Change settings".
* '''Slideshow height''' variable name:  lesson_slideshowheight. Default 480.
**Sets the height of the slideshow only when this feature is enabled in a Lesson's "Change settings".
==Example 3==
===Slideshow width===
Sets the width of the slideshow only when this feature is enabled in a Lesson's "Change settings".
*Variable name: lesson_slideshowwidth, Default 640.

==Example 4 with table for techies==
Default for site wide Lessons can be set here.
{| style="width:75%" border="0"

===Slideshow height===

==End of examples-comments==
--[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 11:45, 10 May 2010 (UTC) I like Example 3.  KISS format, puts developer info in bullet, explains function first, sub heading allow user to jump to section via a TOC.
