Moodle & Sub Categories

[LOUD]

We have just setup moodle as our VLE. Have just noticed a problem that we are going to have down the line on the front page. We want a structure that will look like this.

 

ICT

Upper Sixth

Lower Sixth

Year 12

Year 11

Year 10

Year 9

Year 8

English

A-Level

GCSE

KS4

KS3

etc

 

As you can see that the front page is going to get messy, after two subjects. I would like to hide all subcategories on the frontpage. But can't see how you do this.

 

Is there a piece of code that must be edited??

Quick search on the Moodle forums does the trick:

 

http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=33090

 

Looks like you can change the depth of display.

 

[edit]Try this also:

 

You need to select only List of categories in Front page setting and if you want to display only part of the category tree, try add this line

$CFG->max_category_depth = X;

(X is number, try various values) into config.php in root of your installation on the server.[/edit]
