Front page settings

Location: Administration > Front Page > Front Page settings

The site front page is similar to a course page. Administrators can edit the front page by clicking the "Turn editing on" button in the top right corner of the front page.

Front page settings include the following options:

Moca Learning Center

Moca Home

Administration Community Head Start

Education Annually (Ex.First Aid) Policy Regional (Ex.Time sheet)

Include a topic section

This adds a topic section to the centre-top of the front page. When editing is turned on, resources and/or activities can be added to the topic section using the dropdown menus, in the same way as on a course page.

Note: The label resource can be used to add text and/or an image to the centre-top of the front page.

News items to show

This setting only applies if the front page is set to display news items or if you are using the Latest News block.

Default front page role

Template:Moodle 1.9To enable logged-in users to participate in front page activities, a default front page role, such as student, can be set.

Note: The default front page role should never be set to Guest.

In versions of Moodle prior to 1.9, you can enable logged-in users to participate in front page activities by setting an authenticated user role override or by assigning users a front page role.
