Progressive Disclosure Implementation

This page contains the implementation instructions for Progressive Disclosure

Note: This page is a work-in-progress. Feedback and suggested improvements are welcome. Please join the discussion on moodle.org or use the page comments.

I am especially interested in comments about the readability, accessibility and brevity of the document. (UI consistency guidelines project)

Simple progressive disclosure in a form

the form before pressing the "show advanced" button

the form after pressing the "show advanced" button

This will store the information in a session, about in which state the form was left, so if you press the 'Show advanced' button once, you will see the advanced controls shown anytime you come back to the form.

Address of this example in your Moodle

Assuming the quiz in question has the module id of 2, the address is:

/course/modedit.php?update=2&return=1

(add a link here to an actual demo installation? if so, that would have to keep its urls forever, i.e. probably have a moodle version installed that doesn't get upgraded)

How to access this screen

• Create a quiz in a course, and open it. The configuration form will be shown
• Alternatively, open an existing quiz as a teacher and press the "Update this quiz" button

The location of the code for this implementation

Please fill in location(s) in either http://cvs.moodle.org/ or in the code cross-reference (the latter is probably more useful), specifying the Moodle version where this information applies.
