Custom Moodle Format to Display Class Title and Summary

In order to solve two existing Moodle problems (1 , 2), a new format.php should be developed. This has the benefit of providing exactly what is needed, however the downside is that it is UCLA specific.

To simplify the process this will be mainly based of the topics format. The lines that are of importance are 96-116.

To solve the summary display issue:

• replace “echo format_text($thissection→summary, FORMAT_HTML, $summaryformatoptions);”
• with something similar to line 29 of block_course_summary : “format_text($COURSE→summary, FORMAT_HTML, $options);”

To solve the Topic Outline header:

• replace line 81 of topics format with something that prints the course name.
