Resource List: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:31, 19 December 2010

Resource List is a contributed code module for Moodle. The Resource List provides a way for instructors to create a resource heading then place course resources under this heading. A Javascript allows the students to expand and collapse the resources listed under each heading. This feature can visually condenses a course.

Currently only 'Link to files or websites' can be added to a Resource List.

Introduction

Adding a Resource List

The Resource List is added via the "Add a resource..." drop-down menu in a course section:

Adding Resources to Resource List

Installation

Load the resourcelist module directory into "[moodle root]/mod" directory.
Go to the "[moodle root]/mod/resourcelist" directory and run the following command:
```
$ patch -b -p0 -i moodle19.patch
```
If your theme uses customized pix, copy these files, "icon.gif", "switch_plus.gif", and "switch_minus.gif" to the "[moodle root]/theme/[your theme]/pix/mod/resourcelist/" directory.
```
$ cp *.gif ../../theme/[your theme]/pix/mod/resourcelist/
```
Visit your admin page to create all the necessary data tables.
