Category Display Discrepancies

Our Find Course page is similar to that of this support community, but when clicking into one of our 10 Categories, one of two different visual layouts will appear. Some categories have the courses listed with the entire summary field displaying next to each course name, while other categories instead display the course name with an info "i" icon which you can click to view the summary in a pop-up window.

Is there a setting that affects how courses are listed within a given category?

Hi John,

I believe this is controlled by the COURSE_MAX_SUMMARIES_PER_PAGE constant which is defined at the top of course/lib.php and defaults to 10, so any category with more than 10 courses should show the info icon view.

There is no inbuilt functionality to be able to change this to whatever you want however, without actually changing that line of code on your server.

Hope that helps,

Ciaran
