Moodle1.6

Location: Administration > Appearance > Sticky blocks (in 1.6 to 1.8) or Administration > Modules > Blocks > Sticky blocks (in 1.9 onwards)

Sticky blocks are blocks which you, as an administrator, can set to always appear on course pages and/or on users' My Moodle pages.

Sticky blocks set-up

To configure sticky blocks:

1. Administration > Appearance > Sticky blocks (in 1.6 to 1.8) or Administration > Modules > Blocks > Sticky blocks (in 1.9 onwards).
2. Choose whether to configure My Moodle or course pages.
3. Please note that you can add a sticky block to either My Moodle or course pages or to both.
4. Select the required blocks from the "Add a block" dropdown menu. Configure each block as desired.
5. Reposition blocks using the arrow icons in the block headers.

Warning: If you add a block which is already present in a particular course page or My Moodle page then it will result in a duplicate block.

Note: Course pages contain a number of blocks by default. The page Block layout contains information on how to set up default blocks for new courses without making them sticky (non-movable).

Some Uses for Sticky Blocks

1. Sticky blocks may be used for site-wide messages.
2. Sticky blocks may be used for small applications (apps).
