在课程概述块Moodle中显示课程摘要文本

Question

I would like to display the course summary text underneath the course title within the Course Overview block. How would I go about accessing and displaying this information?

Answer 1

Doesn't look like there is an option to display the summary.

The code to display the course name and link is in

function course_overview() in /blocks/course_overview/renderer.php

If you look for $coursefullname, you should see something like this

$coursefullname = format_string($course->fullname, true, $course->id);
$link = html_writer::link($courseurl, $coursefullname, $attributes);
$html .= $this->output->heading($link, 2, 'title');

So you'll need to add something like this

$html .= $course->summary;

The $course->summary normally contains a lot of html, if you want to remove that then use this instead

$html .= format_string($course->summary);
