<p>MartyJacobs: </p> <hr /> <div>The Meta, Activities and Noticeboard (MAN) course formats are 3 related formats, designed to reduce the number of links on the course homepage and improve course communication. These formats are based on the 'Topics' and 'Social' formats.<br /> <br /> == Main formats ==<br /> The three main formats in the family are Meta, Activities and Noticeboard. Here is a brief summary of what each format does:<br /> <br /> '''Meta format''' - This format automatically adds links to a [[Metacourse]]'s child courses to the course home page. You can run large courses more efficiently by splitting them into several courses, e.g. each topic in your course could be a separate child course in Moodle. The Meta course acts as a portal to the 'topic' courses.<br /> <br /> '''Activities format''' - Duplicates the functionality of the 'Activity modules' block in the main content area of a course. This avoids the need to manually add links to the course homepage, drastically reducing the length of the page (and administration time when adding new resources).<br /> <br /> '''Noticeboard format''' - Displays the latest post from the News forum at the top of the course home page. Ensures only the most relevant information is displayed on the course home page.<br /> <br /> == Hybrid formats ==<br /> There are also 3 'hybrid' formats included in the download:<br /> <br /> '''Noticeboard/activities format''' - Combines the functionality of the Noticeboard and Activities formats.<br /> <br /> '''Meta noticeboard format''' - A noticeboard format that also displays child courses on the home page if the course is a Meta course.<br /> <br /> '''Meta noticeboard/activities format''' - Three formats in one! Displays a list of child courses (if the course is a Meta course), a 'noticeboard' area and a list of activity category links in the main content area.<br /> <br /> == Links ==<br /> Demonstration courses: [http://moodle.martyjacobs.net/course/category.php?id=6 Demo courses]<br /> <br /> Entry in Modules and plugins database: [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&amp;rid=1717 MAN course formats]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Contributed code]]</div>

These are the names of the 3 main course formats in the family:<br /> <br /> '''Meta format''' - Automatically links to child courses from the course home page. You can run large courses more efficiently by splitting them into several courses, e.g. each topic in your course could be a separate child course in Moodle. The Meta course can then be used as portal.<br /> <br /> '''Activities format''' - Duplicates the functionality of the 'Activity modules' block in the main content area of a course. This avoids the need to manually add links to the course homepage, drastically reducing the length of the page (and administration time when adding new resources).<br /> <br /> '''Noticeboard format''' - Displays the latest post from the News forum at the top of the course home page. Ensures only the most relevant information is displayed on the course home page.<br /> == Hybrid formats ==<br /> There are also 3 'hybrid' formats too:<br /> <br /> '''Noticeboard/activities format''' - Combines the functionality of the Noticeboard and Activities formats.<br /> <br /> '''Meta noticeboard format''' - A noticeboard format that also displays child courses on the home page if the course is a Meta course.<br /> <br /> '''Meta noticeboard/activities format''' - Three formats in one! Displays list of child courses, noticeboard and activity category links in the main content area.</div>

<p>MartyJacobs: MAN course formats - Help reduce clutter on course homepage.</p> <hr /> <div>The MAN course formats are a family of 6 course formats designed to reduce the number of links on the course homepage and improve course communication. These formats are nothing fancy and are based on 'Topics' and 'Social' formats.<br /> <br /> There are 3 main course formats in the family, namely:<br /> <br /> '''Meta format''' - By linking to child courses from the course home page of a Meta course, you can run large courses more efficiently by splitting them into several courses, e.g. each topic in your course could be a separate child course in Moodle. The Meta course can then be used as portal. <br /> '''Activities format''' - By duplicating the Activity modules block in the main content area of a course, you can avoid the need to manually add links to the course homepage, drastically reducing the length of the page. <br /> '''Noticeboard format''' - By displaying the latest post from the News forum, you can make sure only the most relevant information is displayed on the course home page.</div>

<p>MartyJacobs: /* Site themes */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Themes}}<br /> <br /> == Theme settings ==<br /> <br /> The following variables may be set by the administrator via Administration &gt;&gt; Configuration &gt;&gt; [[admin/config|Variables]]:<br /> <br /> ;themelist <br /> :This lists the themes available for course and user themes. Leave this blank to allow any valid theme to be used. If you want to shorten the theme menu, you may specify a comma-separated list of names here, though don't use spaces!. For example standard,orangewhite.<br /> <br /> ;allowuserthemes <br /> :If you enable this, then users will be allowed to set their own themes. User themes override site themes but not course themes.<br /> <br /> ;allowcoursethemes <br /> :If you enable this, then teachers will be able to set their own course themes. Course themes override all other theme choices (site, user, or session themes).<br /> <br /> == Theme types ==<br /> <br /> === Site themes ===<br /> Site themes may be previewed and chosen via Administration &gt;&gt; Configuration &gt;&gt; [[Themes]].<br /> <br /> === User themes ===<br /> If the option ''allowuserthemes'' is enabled, each user may select their preferred theme on the [[user/edit|Edit profile]] page. All Moodle pages will be displayed in the user's theme, apart from courses where a course theme has been set.<br /> <br /> === Course themes ===<br /> If the option ''allowcoursethemes'' is enabled, each editing teacher may select their course theme via the Force theme option on the [[course/edit|Course settings]] page. The course will always be displayed in the theme specified in the course setting, with user and the site themes being overwritten.<br /> <br /> === Session themes ===<br /> Moodle offers an additional way to set a theme - the '''session theme'''. This is set with the URL and lasts until you log out. When you next login, the site/course/user themes are active again. This option is great for theme testing and works perfectly when you want to enable different themes for different situations.<br /> <br /> For example you can offer a special link for PDA users and integrate the session theme ''orangewhitepda'' in that link. Nobody needs to change any settings, you just click on that link. The session theme is called by the URL parameter &lt;code&gt;&amp;theme=orangewhitepda&lt;/code&gt;. The whole URL without the session theme could look like &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;http://mymoodlesite.org/course/view.php?id=18&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; and with the parameter for the PDA theme like &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&quot;http://mymoodlesite.org/course/view.php?id=18&amp;theme=orangewhitepda&quot;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;.<br /> <br /> In a standard Moodle installation, session themes are not active. To activate them the administrator must add the parameter &lt;code&gt;$CFG-&gt;allowthemechangeonurl = true;&lt;/code&gt; to the Moodle ''config.php'' file in the Moodle base directory.<br /> <br /> == Theme overview ==<br /> <br /> {| style=&quot;border:1px dashed #ddd&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;vertical-align:top;text-align:left&quot;<br /> !Theme type<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#eee&quot;|Overwrites<br /> !Display<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#eee&quot;|Setting type<br /> |- style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot;<br /> |Site<br /> |style=&quot;background:#eee&quot;| - <br /> |all pages*<br /> |style=&quot;background:#eee&quot;|saved in theme profile<br /> |- style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot;<br /> |User<br /> |style=&quot;background:#eee&quot;|Site theme<br /> |all pages*<br /> |style=&quot;background:#eee&quot;|saved in user profile<br /> |- style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot;<br /> |Course<br /> |style=&quot;background:#eee&quot;|Site, user and session themes<br /> |one course<br /> |style=&quot;background:#eee&quot;|saved in course profile<br /> |- style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot;<br /> |Session<br /> |style=&quot;background:#eee&quot;|Site and user themes<br /> |all pages*<br /> |style=&quot;background:#eee&quot;|temporary until logout<br /> |}<br /> (* except courses with the course theme set)<br /> <br /> [[Category: Administrator]]<br /> [[Category:Themes]]</div>
