Admin alert block

Administration Alert Block

The Administration Alert block provides an alert about particular areas of concern for a Moodle administrator. The block can be restricted to an administration space and will show a list of alerts including: duplicated course ID numbers; courses without a teacher; courses with many backup files; inactive courses; and inactive users. This block does not require the creation of additional tables in the Moodle database.

Installation

• Copy the admin_alert folder into the \blocks folder of your Moodle site
• Login in to Moodle as an administrator and go to the \admin page (Notifications) to install the block
• When prompted, set the default settings for the block
• Add the Administration Alert block to the front page or another course of your choice

Note: do not turn on the alert 4 if you have many records in the table mdl_log (see global configurations of this block). This alert required too much time to be calculated, so is prudent to turn on only if the table mdl_log has less than 1 million records.
