About
A quick way into the catalogue from the Dashboard, linking out to the full browse and search page for anything beyond a glance.
- A search box that submits straight to the catalogue page with the query pre-filled. The block duplicates no search logic of its own.
- Up to five of the most recently shared, published resources: the cover-image thumbnail, the title linked to its detail page, a short trimmed summary, and the license. Rows read thumbnail-left, text-right; a resource with no cover image gets a neutral panel of the same size, so the list stays aligned either way.
- A "View full catalogue" link to the full browse and search page.
Requires local_oerexchange, the catalogue and API plugin for the OER
Exchange, on the same site. Moodle enforces the dependency, so installing this
block without it will fail.
