MDL-26105_block_settings_master -
I'm marking usability aspects now as critical. I think if users don't understand features and can't find any help or explanation the feature won't work for them. That means the feature is not working and this is really a big critical problem.
The settings for blocks are not user friendly. Terms and functionalities are not explained. Also search at docs don't give any better information:
Where this block appears: missing help information.
You can define where the block appears as a default block. Depending from the context where you are adding the block and your own role the options may be different.
Page context: missing help information
Display on actual page
Display on actual page and all subpages
Display on all page types
Display on My own MyMoodle page
Display on all MyMoodle subpages
Display on ...
Restrict to these pages types: human unfriendly cryptic description of page types. Really a mess.
Some of the types have descriptions. Others not. If the cryptic terms are described in the brackets, the cryptic terms are only relevant for developers and can be deleted here.
Make descriptions understandable.
delete: course-view-topics write: Any course main page in topics format
delete: course-view-topics-* write: Any course page in topics course format (Correct?)
delete: course-view-* write: Any course main page (format independent) (Correct?)
delete: course-* write: Any course page (format independent) (correct?)
delete: * write: Any page everywhere
delete: my-index write: Users 'My' home page
delete: my-index-* write ? What does it mean?
delete: my-* write: Any 'My' home pages from any user (Correct?)
delete: * write: ? What does it mean?
Specific sub page: missing help information
Any page matching the above
This specific page (page 7) ? what menans 'page 7'
Default region missing help information
Defines where the block is placed:
- left left column
- right right column
- middle/center area of the page (only if the theme allows this location)
Default weight Missing help information
Defines the ordering of the block in the defined region
-1 on top
-2 second
..
0 middle
10 last
On this page missing help information
What are these settings for?
Why can I define visibility on this page if it is predefined that a block is shown at all page types?
Why is there a different region/weight setting? What happens if the definitions differ?
Link to documentation page don't contain any of the information for the 2.0 page.
