Display restart and shutdown buttons in the footer

Thanks to the display at the bottom of the page of the MoodleBox’s restart and stop buttons, its administration is more intuitive and easier.

Restart and stop buttons in footer

This feature is enabled by visiting the MoodleBox settings in the administration interface: Site administration > Server > MoodleBox > MoodleBox settings, then checking the box “Show buttons in footer”.

Show buttons in footer checkbox

After saving the changes, the MoodleBox restart and stop buttons will be displayed for Moodle roles with the tool/moodlebox:viewbuttonsinfooter capability, which is granted by default to the manager role and of course to the administrators. They are not displayed for other users.

Tip

In order to minimize the risk of data corruption on the microSD card, it is not recommended to unplug the power supply without care to shutdown the MoodleBox. It is preferable to manually control its shutdown beforehand.
