Adding a block to a page
Blocks can be added to a page by turning editing on then using the 'Add a block' drop-down menu.
Please see Blocks for a list of all the blocks in a standard Moodle install. Your site may have added contributed blocks and or your site administrator has disabled specific blocks on your site.
Block configuration
After adding a block, click the edit icon in the block header to configure it.
Block settings
Certain blocks, such as the HTML block, allow a block title and more to be set.
Where this block appears
Depending upon the context and users permissions, this area determines where this block will appear.
- Original block location: provides information about where the block was initially created.
- Display on page types: allows the user to set the context that the block can appear in. These options will vary depending upon the permissions of the user. For example a site administrator might see a setting that will allow the block to appear on Any page, or any type of course main page, while a teacher may only see the option to place it on every page in the course.
- Default region: Usually a right column or left column option
- Default weight: Where in the column do you want it to appear if there are other blocks in that column. -10 will put it at the top, 10 will put it at the bottom. A zero is neutral.
