Different versions settings

In Moodle 1.7 demo.moodle, I don't see how to create the matrix (see below). I noticed the help screen shows the matrix but there is no Group Type setting in 1.7. Is this my ignorance of a Moodle wiki and/or my normal thick headed perspective? Help!

Humor Alert. Sometimes I get my knuckles wacked with a wet Moodle when I write instructions for a version that has not been released :) I had to put in the 1.8 qualifier until somebody writes how to get the 9 types in 1.7 in newbie language for me. Sigh

I am going to take a guess that the Course setting called Group Type in 1.7 was added to every activity in 1.8 . I will edit the article accordingly.--Chris collman 13:21, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Exploring the 9 Types of Wiki

There are 9 Types of Wiki in Moodle depending on what settings you select during its creation. Here is a link to a Course (http://www.moodle.vitta.org.au/) set up to facilitate exploring each of these. Created by Keith Richardson

Thanks Keith. I liked the resource in the link. I guess if the matrix is part of the help screen in Moodle & I don't need permission. :) --Chris collman 11:29, 29 December 2006 (CST)

"Unless the group mode has been forced by the course settings, it can be set with the groups icons on the course home page after the wiki has been created."
