Settings block: Difference between revisions

The settings block provides context-sensitive links to settings pages.

What appears in the setting block depends upon the Context (Page being shown and user's permissions). For example, the site administrator will notice the Front Page settings block has fewer options than the Course settings block and a student will have fewer options in the Course administration than a teacher.

Here are two unexpanded examples of the settings block:

FrontPage settings block
Course settings block

-The settings block is new to Moodle 2.0.  It can be found on most pages in the left column. It is composed of links to sub menus.  When the link is clicked the sub menu expands below it.
+What appears in the setting block depends upon the [[Context]] (Page being shown and user's permissions). For example, the site administrator will notice the Front Page settings block has fewer options than the Course settings block and a student will have fewer options in the Course administration than a teacher.
