Block layout

Rrusso: /* Resetting the block layout for existing courses */

{{Blocks}}
==Default block layout for new courses==

To amend the default block layout for new courses, one or more of the following lines (omitting the forward slashes) from ''config-dist.php'' may be added to ''[[Configuration_file|config.php]]'', amending the block names as required.

// These variables define DEFAULT block variables for new courses
// If this one is set it overrides all others and is the only one used.
// $CFG->defaultblocks_override = 'participants,activity_modules,search_forums,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity';
//
// These variables define the specific settings for defined course formats.
// They override any settings defined in the formats own config file.
// $CFG->defaultblocks_site = 'site_main_menu,course_list:course_summary,calendar_month';
// $CFG->defaultblocks_social = 'participants,search_forums,calendar_month,calendar_upcoming,social_activities,recent_activity,course_list';
// $CFG->defaultblocks_topics = 'participants,activity_modules,search_forums,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity';
// $CFG->defaultblocks_weeks = 'participants,activity_modules,search_forums,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity';
// These blocks are used when no other default setting is found.
// $CFG->defaultblocks = 'participants,activity_modules,search_forums,course_list:news_items,calendar_upcoming,recent_activity';</pre>

For example, to set the default block layout for topics format courses to People, Tags and Administration on the left, and Messages, Online users and Recent activity on the right, simply add the following line to your ''config.php'' file:

$CFG->defaultblocks_topics = 'participants,tags:messages,online_users,recent_activity';

Note how the colon is used to separate those blocks appearing on the left, from those appearing on the right.

==Resetting the block layout for existing courses==

The block layout for existing courses may be reset by copying the following script into a text file, saving it as ''resetblocks.php'', copying it into the Moodle root directory, then visiting <code><nowiki>http://yourmoodlesite.org/resetblocks.php</nowiki></code>.

'''Warning''': This script may change the layout of your course pages and also remove blocks from those pages if they have not been specified in the config.php line. Check which of your courses has blocks which are not in the config.php line and be prepared to spend time adding blocks to your course pages again. ''Please note that a database backup is recommended before using the script''.

'''M2.2 and later:'''
<?php
//moodle 2.2+
require_once('config.php');
require_once($CFG->libdir.'/blocklib.php');
$courses = get_courses();//can be feed categoryid to just effect one category
foreach($courses as $course) {
$context = context_course::instance($course->id);
blocks_delete_all_for_context($context->id);
blocks_add_default_course_blocks($course);
}
?>

'''M2.0 to M2.2:'''
<?php
//moodle 2.0 - 2.2
require_once('config.php');
require_once($CFG->libdir.'/blocklib.php');
$courses = get_courses();//can be feed categoryid to just effect one category
foreach($courses as $course) {
$context = get_context_instance(CONTEXT_COURSE,$course->id);
blocks_delete_all_for_context($context->id);
blocks_add_default_course_blocks($course);
}
?>

[[Image:Simple_grader_quick_edit_anon.png|left| thumb| This quick edit screen shows all anonymous students for the anonymous grade item.]]
The quick edit screens can be integrated into the grader report allow for fast paced editing of grades for either grade items or students.

The quick edit link will appear next to all students' names or under grade items. By clicking on the link next to a student's name, the teacher can quickly edit all the grades for that student.

By clicking on the link next under the grade item, the teacher can edit all the students' grades for that grade item. Like the gradebook, tabs move down to the next row.

Note: while in quick edit item mode, student names link directly to the quick edit student mode and vice-versa.

Quick edit also provides quick access to override and exclude grades as well as inserting quick feedback.

When using anonymous grades, the Quick edit item mode allows you to enter data grades for anonymous students using the custom profile field defined in the [[blocks/anonymous_grade/enable| anonymous grade]] block.

Rrusso: /* Tab-delimited username File Formats */

== Supported File Types ==

The LSU Smart File Importer accepts many file types of varying extension (.csv, .txt, or no extension at all) and auto detects between the various supported file types. 

Below you will find a quick description of each file type followed by a more detailed description. 

== Miscellaneous Information ==

At LSU, all idnumbers start with 89.

We call idnumber LSUID; and username PAWSid. Please substitute accordingly. This can be changed in the language editing interface or by editing the language file directly.

If you want to change any of the following formats for use outside of LSU (most are useful as is), please edit classes.php.

This importer is for '''ONE''' grade per imported file. '''You can import multiple files at once''' and they '''do not''' need to be of the same file type.

Grades can be in ANY of the following formats: 090.00, 90.00, 90 and will be accepted for all file types.

CSV files can have any number of spaces following or preceding commas to no ill effect.

== Fixed Width Formats ==

'''Fixed Width'''
<pre>89XXXXXXX 100.00
89XXXXXXX 090.00</pre>

'''MEC (Measurement and Evaluation Center)'''

The fixed width file formats are generally .txt files or files without an extension (coming from alternate sources) and use spaces as a method of creating the appearance of columns. 

== Comma Separated idnumber File Formats ==

'''Comma separated grade file keyed with idnumber that contains extra information'''
<pre>89XXXXXXX, F, L, M, shortname, data, time, XX, XX, 100.00

'''Grade file from the Maple software package (Please note there are no spaces surrounding the LSUID)'''
<pre>Irrelevant line
Irrelevant line
Name,89XXXXXXX,Grade%,Grade,Weighted%,Blank

#Using the file upload dialog, choose a grade file from your filesystem.
#Click the "Validate File(s)" button.
#The importer will attempt to validate that file and find which format it is.
#If your file does not validate, you must fix any formatting errors in it.

#Using the "Grade Item Mapping" select box, choose a grade item to map the soon the be imported grades to.
#You may add new files using the green "+" and red "-" buttons.
#Once all of your files are validated and you have selected grade item mappings for them, click the "Upload validated file(s) button.
#On the next screen, you will most likely be shown a success message.
#Any errors that occurred during the import will be reported as well.
