| The News forum is a special forum for general announcements. A course may only have one News forum unless it has been imported from another system which supports more than one news forum.
| |
|
| |
|
| This forum is automatically created for each course and for the [[Front Page|front page]] of the Moodle site. By default, it is placed in the top of the center section and only teachers and administrators may add posts or reply to posts. Also the [[Adding/editing a forum|default settings]] forces every enrolled person to be subscribed to the News forum.
| | [[es:Foro de novedades]] |
| | |
| The [[Latest News block]] displays a [[Course_settings#News_items_to_show|specific number]] of recent discussions from the News forum.
| |
| | |
| As with any forum, emails can be sent to subscribed members of a News forum.
| |
| | |
| ==Removing the news forum==
| |
| | |
| The news forum may be removed from a course as follows:
| |
| #Delete the news forum from the course homepage
| |
| #In [[Course settings]] set "News items to show" to 0
| |
| #Delete the Latest news block
| |
| #Alternatively - hide the news forum
| |
| | |
| ==Enabling logged-in users to view the site news==
| |
| | |
| By default, non logged-in users can view the site news, whereas logged-in users obtain an error message. (This issue is due to be fixed in Moodle 1.9.6 - see MDL-14953.)
| |
| | |
| To enable logged-in users to view the site news, either:
| |
| #Access ''Site Administration > Front Page > Front Page roles''.
| |
| #Follow the "Override permissions" link.
| |
| #Click on "Authenticated User".
| |
| #Change the capability [[Capabilities/mod/forum:viewdiscussion|mod/forum:viewdiscussion]] to allow.
| |
| #Click the "Save changes" button at the bottom of the page.
| |
| | |
| Or:
| |
| #Access ''Site Administration > Front Page > Front Page settings''.
| |
| #Set the default front page role to student (setting only available in Moodle 1.9 onwards).
