New Main Menu Style Block

[FN-GM]

Hi there

Is it possible to create another block that works in the exact same way as the main menu block on the home page please?

Thank you

I supposse the easiest way is to copy the block:

Copy the folder: site_main_menu (I think thats the block you mean)

Rename the folder: another_main_menu

Inside the folder you will find: block_main_menu.php rename it so block_another_main_menu.php

Then edit block_another_main_menu.php file,

Edit line 1: <?php //$Id: block_another_main_menu.php,v 1.25 2007/01/09 11:04:13 skodak Exp $

(You could change the date etc...)

Edit line 3: class block_another_main_menu extends block_list {

Then you just need to install the block: http://yourmoodle.com/admin

This should install your new (copy) block.

If you checkout Marnel Junior School , there is a tweak of the moodle main menu that I wrote (top left).

It's based on the slash-dot menu, with fold down menus.

Happy to send you code/instructions if it is helpful.

HA! Just checked the link to the moodle thread- that was my posting

Thought it looked familiar...

Is there a way of hiding a menu item until a user is logged on?

I hide the whole menu. For individual menu item you could hide the item then allow students to view hidden items.

As for the others, thanks chaps

Thanks - I hadn't thought of that

Edit* - On second thoughts that wouldn't work for us as sometimes we need to have the ability to hide a menu item. I guess what I'm looking for is some way of having the ability to customise the menu for different user groups such as teacher and students.
