for Moodle 2.6 or higher
This is a block which displays a configurable list of courses. It is intended as a replacement for the My Courses block, although both may be used. It is maintained by the Collaborative Liberal Arts Moodle Project (CLAMP).
Unzip files into your Moodle blocks directory. This will create a folder called filtered_course_list. Alternatively, you may install it with git. In the top-level folder of your Moodle install, type the command: git clone https://github.com/CLAMP-IT/moodle-blocks_filtered_course_list blocks/filtered_course_list.
Then visit the admin screen to allow the install to complete.
During the upgrade you will be shown only the "new settings" but it is important to look at the new and the old settings together, so be sure to look at the block configuration once the upgrade is complete.
To configure the block, go to Site Administration > Modules > Blocks > Current Courses List
On this page, you can choose to filter by Shortnames or by Categories.
Choose "shortnames" if you organize courses by including a certain string within the course shortname (e.g. BIO101-01S09, where the S09 at the end indicates the semester).
Choose "categories" if you organize your courses into categories.
If you choose "categories" the block will display subcategories as well.
You may also choose whether to suppress "Other Courses", whether to hide the block from guests, whether to hide the "all courses" link that appears at the bottom of the box, and whether admins will see all courses or only their own.
To change the name of the block, turn editing on on a screen that displays the block and click on the (gear) icon to edit the settings.
