Static GUI Texts

This component is mostly used by administrators or power users to update editorial static text published in some particular locations of the moodle's GUI.

Power users will be designated by a specific extra capability, matched in “system” context (so roles having this capability needs being assigned at SITE level).

Some integrators or third party plugins developers can rely on this component as a generic solution to publish editorial texts in the Moodle interface by a very simple technical call from withing their plugin implementation. By testing the presence of the plugin in moodle codebase, this can be set optional, and not requiring a strong plugin dependency relationship.

Once called in some rendering part of the GUI, a static text has its own updating mechanism to allow editing the content displayed in the Moodle front GUI.

A static text is “transparent” for “normal” users (who are not authorized to edit), it will then appear as a simple insert of editorial content in that screen location.

Refer to the Technical Guide wich is the major information anout how to use this plugin.
