- Blocks FAQ
The Section links block helps the student or teacher to quickly navigate to a particular section of the course.
This block does not appear by default if you are using the Boost theme but you can display it by clicking the cog icon from Site administration > Appearance > Themes > Boost and removing it from the Unneeded blocks setting.
Where a section is highlighted, the link to that section within the "Section Links" block is emboldened. In addition, a link for the highlighted section ("Jump to the current topic/week") is displayed. Click the "Jump to the current topic/week" link to display the highlighted section at the top of the screen.
If there are a large number of topic/week sections, the block displays every other even number i.e. 2, 4 etc. or every fifth numbered topic/week section.
New feature
in Moodle 5.0!
If the setting Display section name is set to Yes in the block settings, section names are used as links. Otherwise, numbers are used.
Site administration settings
Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Blocks > Section links
The section links block has some settings which may be changed by an administrator. There are two 'number of sections' value in the setting page, say numsections1 and numsections2.
If the number of sections in the course is less than either of them, the section links will increase by 1.
If the number of sections in the source is more than numsections1, but less than numsections2, the increase by value will respect numsections1's increase by setting.
If the number of sections in the source is more than both of numsections1 and numsections2, and numsections2 is more than numssections1, the increase by value will respect numsections2's increase by setting.
