![]()
When a page is really long (for example, because of infinite scrolling), it becomes too tedious to scroll back up through screens and screens of content. Hence the role of the Back to Top button. It is not just very trendy, but also very useful and it is not implemented in Moodle by default (at least not yet, Moodle v3.8.2). You can see/use a similar one on this particular page, it is a yellow circle with a white arrow on the right.
Let's see how we can resolve that issue. Update: it is a core functionality from v3.9, but not as pretty as my solution ;)

To be able to create more complex queries, you have to understand the database in the background. This lesson is very important if you don't really know how databases work or if you are not familiar with the Moodle database at all.
As I said earlier, we are going to find specific forums on our Moodle site, where our teachers, developers, course admins are most probably misusing the 'news' forum feature. Before you continue, please read the previous chapter here. ![]() I would like to give you some idea how to find anomalies within your courses. To be able to do that, you need access to your database and run some SQL reports. Probably the simplest way is to use the Configurable Reports block. I am not going to teach you how to use that block. I am not going to teach you how to write SQL scripts. But I am going to give you a few examples and the very basics, so if you have a bare minimal SQL knowledge and if you are not afraid to experiment, you will be fine. I am going to give you the SQL code with a brief explanation, so you can modify the code to match your own needs. Obviously I am going to start with a very simple one, don't worry. |
