Description

Moodle Networking - local students enrolled in courses on remote Moodle see a list of "Remote Courses" in their local "My Courses" block. There is no equivalent listing in their myMoodle listing.

All our users are directed to their myMoodle page upon login. The inconsistency between the myMoodle list and the My Courses block will be confusing. Screenshot attached.

Temporary work around - have made the My Courses block a sticky block for myMoodle.

I don't seem to be able to assign bugs to Hubert (who is looking at redoing my moodle in 2.0) but I've added him as a watcher so he sees this.

Yeah, I guess I'm not a developer, so you can't assign issues to me. (I also can't edit issues myself...). Maybe the best way, for now, to make sure that this issue doesn't get lost is to assign it to Mike Churchward, and to assign it to the "My Moodle" component.

Just a quick comment on this issue: listing remote courses shouldn't be too hard. But adding any extra information (e.g. number of unread forum posts) would require extra MNet calls, which we don't currently have, (and may introduce performance issues).

Hi Hubert,

Let me know if I can help with this issue in any way. I was thinking about coding the hack myself, if you have any suggestions.

Cheers,

Brent.

we're considering a second instance of Moodle for our organisation and this would remove many of the perceived barriers for students.

Attached are two patches (one for Moodle 2 and one for Moodle 1.9) that adds MNet courses to the My Moodle page.

Updated the Moodle 2 version of the patch based on David's suggestions (and also fixed the other hard-coded HTML in that function)

Fixed in CVS HEAD. Thanks for the patch Hubert! I just changed it a bit to use moodle_url instead of string URLs and to use s() instead of format_string() when putting the course fullname into title="" attribute value. Good to see that print_overview() API has not changed so this should not break eventual custom plugins.
