block\_oerexchangequicklinks
============================

[](#block_oerexchangequicklinks)

A Dashboard block for the **OER Exchange** platform — an open-educational- resources sharing platform built on Moodle. Shows Try it / Download shortcuts for resources you've recently launched a sandbox trial for, so you don't have to go back through the full catalogue page to reach them again.

Requires the companion catalogue plugin [`local_oerexchange`](https://github.com/adamjenkins/moodle-local_oerexchange), which must already be installed on the same site — this block only reads its data and links to its pages.

What it does
------------

[](#what-it-does)

- Lists a handful of resources you've most recently tried in the sandbox, most recent first, with each resource shown once even if you've tried it more than once.
- **Try it** relaunches the sandbox trial for that resource.
- **Download** links to the current latest available version of the resource — not necessarily the version you originally tried, if a newer one has since been published.
- Resources that are no longer published (hidden or removed since your trial) are left off the list.
- Add it to your Dashboard from the block drawer while editing is turned on.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Moodle 5.0–5.2 (`$plugin->supported`).
- `local_oerexchange` installed on the same site.
- PHP as required by the target Moodle version.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
git clone https://github.com/adamjenkins/moodle-block_oerexchangequicklinks.git blocks/oerexchangequicklinks
php admin/cli/upgrade.php
```
