Overview of the general global settings that control the behavior of the Dash plugin

About

The general global settings for Dash define site-wide behaviors, such as how course images are handled, redirection for course indexes, and specific configurations for the learning path.

You can find these settings under Site administration > Plugins > Local plugins > Dash Addons > General settings.


Available settings

  • Course default image – Upload a placeholder image to be displayed as the course image for any course that does not have one.

  • Do not show category/course index – Redirect users automatically to the site home page or a custom URL when they attempt to access the standard Moodle course index.

  • Automatically restrict to current section – Enable this to automatically restrict a Dash block with the content addon to the current section when added to a single-section page.

  • Course redirect URL – Enter the specific URL where users should be redirected from the course index page.

  • Course shop URL – Missing: [Detailed functionality of this setting.

  • Select course field for shape – Choose the custom course field that determines the shape of the course icon within the learning path.

  • Select course field for visual – Choose a custom course field of the "Select" type to determine which icon is displayed on the learning path when the visual option is used.

Note: Course fields for shape and visual are used in the learning path widget.
