Re: Changing the blocks that automatically appear on the Course Page
Hi Sarah,
There may be an easier way but the only way I know of is to edit a file in the course format...
Course -> Format -> Topics (or name of format you wish to edit) -> config.php
This file contains the list of default blocks which can be edited based on blocks name.
Would be interested to know if there is an easier way though.
Kind Regards,
Richard

Hi Richard and Sarah
There is an easier way under Site Administration > Courses > Course default settings > number of weeks/ topics.

Re: Changing the blocks that automatically appear on the Course Page
Hi Sarah, Craig
Sorry I may have missunderstood the question, could I check if it is the 'blocks' around the outside that you would like to change which default ones appear or is it for the center activities/resource area?
Thanks,
Richard

Re: Changing the blocks that automatically appear on the Course Page
Hi Sarah
I can't see any default settings that control the outside blocks. One way to do this would be to do a course backup (course Administration > Backup) and select backup without user data and then restore to a new course.
There is also a possibility of doing this with the External Database enrolment plugin (Site admin > Courses > Enrolments > External database) select autocreation of new courses and select the template course. This would work if you are enrolling people in the new course at the same time as creating the course.

Have a look at this post:

Looks like you can set it in your config.php, either in $CFG->defaultblocks or $CFG->defaultblocks_[format] if using a custom course format.

Hi Sarah,
It's on your webserver in the root directory containing all your totara files.
Have a look at this page on moodle.org for more details:
