Change information presented in the front page

[michzimny]

In the Moodle's front page, we currently see section "Available courses". We'd like to remove it.

In addition, in this place in the front page, we'd like to see main available categories, i.e. something like this: https://learn.up2university.eu/course/

This is an approach agreed upon by the MT and it should be applied to all instances.

It will probably be needed early next week.

Hi @michzimny . It seems to me that I can modify this setting for a logged used and a non-logged used. Do I have to modify the setting for both types of user? Do you want this setting immediately, or should I just persist the setting? Thanks.

@michzimny I created branch ( https://github.com/up2university/docker-moodle/tree/141_Change_starting_page ). At the moment the branch has only code that change the page for the non-logged user.

I think we'd like to have this change for both logged and non-logged users.

If you could introduce this setting manually and also persistify it, then it would be the best option. I think we can follow this for all issues as far as you're sure that the persistified version will work properly after deployment.

Hi @michzimny . I added the persistence settings to the branch, added the settings to the dev and the production machine. I could not change the teacher's machine for the reason that the system does not accept the credentials I use. Any suggestion? Thanks.

[michzimny]

@Callustian, what do you mean by the teacher's machine? Is it learn.test.up2university.eu? What credentials you mean? SSH? SSO? If SSO, then what do you mean by not accepting?

Hi @michzimny. I should have posted, apologies. Allan sent me the password. I added the setting also to the teacher's machine.
