Description
Hi,
I am a longtime fan of moodle (http://www.aylesburylife.org/), my boss is coming round to the idea too.
What I would like to make life efficient and easy to create new courses is for any resources or activities I make to have:
+ a copy_as_new_to_any_position icon
+ (alongside the move_to_any_position_icon)
+ in edit mode
because there are lots of activities and resources I create that follow a very similar script with minor changes to edit, such as file name, name of activity, etc.... At the moment I am thinking the work around is as follows (but I have not tried it yet).
WORKAROUND: Try appending a restored template_course onto the end of the one I am editing - the idea being the backup template_course contains examples of all the activities I use scripted as I use them. Then use the move_to_any_position icon to place new activitiy(ies) where I want it (them), and make any minor editing changes necessary.
I guess this won't happen overnight although I think it would be hugely attractive for all.
There may also be a better workaround I haven't thought of yet...?
Regards,
Joc

I really like the duplicate functionality that was around in early versions of 1.5 - I utilized some of that code to write my own hack to not only be able to duplicate most of the modules within a course but also between courses.
