The file resource has option for whether to show description (on its page).
I would like to add a second option below that one, 'Show description on course page' (default off). If set, the description would appear on the course page below the link to the file, like:
- Spreadsheet file
This spreadsheet contains useful data that you should erase.
(Where the first line is the existing display & the second line is from description.)
This is only needed for file resources because these are the only ones where typically, you don't actually go to the page, i.e. in most cases they are set up so that once you click it immediately starts downloading the file.
There are two current workarounds for the lack of this feature:
1) Set display type to 'Embed' instead of 'Automatic' / 'Force download; this forces users to go via the intervening page when they click, this includes the description.
2) Add a Label below the file with the description.
I am probably willing to implement this feature (for Moodle 2.1 probably? Or 2.0.x), it should be easy - just want to check if there is support for it.
