Moodle Navigation

[MadSmiler]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm in need of some help on Moodle. Could some one give me a step-by-step guide on how to add navigation buttons on the home page. E.G buttons for Maths, English, Science.

 

Been trying for the past hour and i can't seem to do it, and also i'm trying to create it from the start and i don't want to use any of the custom themes.

 

Thanks Guys

By navigation buttons, do you mean icons to click to go to the different areas or do you mean replacing text links by buttons in the actual navigation block? I can't help with the second but here is a suggestion for the first:

 

1. Make your buttons

2. Get the URLs of presumably the course categories for Maths. English , Science etc and kjeep them safe somewhere to paste later,

3. As admin turn on the editing on the front page

4. From the link "add an activity or resource" add a label

5. This will present you with a text box. Insert the images via the insert image button. Then highlight each one and click the link/chain icon and then paste in the URL of the appropriate course category.

 

There are other ways - if you meant to do it in the techie way, I apologise:( I only know the non-techie ways. Also some things will depend on your Moodle version and the type of editor you are using (there are several depending on your version).

Yeaah, i'm doing the home page so i can only use those blocks. The way i did it is by putting the images in a table and then linking the images. This was on the only solution i had.

If you enable the Topic section on the front page, that will give you an html block that you can use to add many things onto your front page.

 

(Settings>Front Page Settings>Edit Settings>Include a topic section)
