README

A Moodle Dashboard block for OER Exchange moderators: a single at-a-glance summary of what needs attention, with links straight to the pages that let you act on it.

Each section is gated on its own capability: reports and failed parses on local/oerexchange:moderate, pending site registrations on local/oerexchange:managesites. A user holding neither sees empty content even if an instance somehow ended up on their page, so someone who only approves site registrations gets that section and nothing else.

What it shows

  • Open reports — count, and the oldest few still awaiting review, each Links through to moderate.php.
  • Failed parses — count, and the most recent backup uploads whose structure parsing failed. Links through to moderate.php.
  • Hidden by moderators — how many resources a moderator is currently holding. Links through to moderate_hidden.php, the Exchange's report of what has already been taken down. Resources the Exchange removes automatically as abandoned courseware are not counted — no moderator hid them.
  • Pending site registrations — count, and the oldest few sites still awaiting approval. Links through to manage_sites.php.

All data is read directly from local_oerexchange's own tables — this block has no database schema, settings, or business logic of its own. It is presentation-layer only.

Requirements

  • Moodle 5.0–5.2 ($plugin->supported).
  • local_oerexchange 1.0.7 or later must already be installed — version.php declares it as a hard dependency, pinned to the build that adds the hidden-resources report, and the Moodle installer will refuse to install this block without it.
  • The viewing/adding user needs local/oerexchange:moderate or local/oerexchange:managesites (both granted to the manager archetype by default); each governs its own section of the block.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/adamjenkins/moodle-block_oerexchangemodqueue.git blocks/oerexchangemodqueue
php admin/cli/upgrade.php

Then add the "OER Exchange: moderation queue" block to the Dashboard from the block drawer (available only to users with the required capability).
