Issue with Featured Links Gallery

Dear experts,

I would like to ask for possible solutions to a problem we are facing with the featured links gallery.

We have placed these blocks at some dashboards and in some courses. The featured link block is configured as "Gallery". For the tiles, all are created by selecting a course. This works great, as we can let's say select 10 courses for the tiles, but users will only see the ones that are actually visible to them via audience etc.

This one is inside a dashboard block with the title "Featured Links Gallery":


However, an issue arises with this block:

If a user has the featured link block on his dashboard, but none of the courses in the block are visible to them, then the block is displayed without content:


In the process of cleaning up the appearance of our platform, we would want the featured links gallery to disappear when there is no content. However, for users with access to courses from the featured links gallery, it should still show up.


Does anyone have an idea? I would greatly appreciate it, thank you for your help 🙂


Best Regards

Oliver

Hi Oliver

One idea that might work is to included the first tile in the gallery as a static tile that has appropriate wording eg Start of gallery or go to course catalogue included so it is always displayed .
