Overview
A Moodle local plugin that displays a friendly, customizable welcome modal to users after they log in, encouraging them to explore the platform and access the library. The modal can be dismissed temporarily (for the session) or permanently, and respects site policy agreements.
Features
– **Personalised welcome** – Greets the user by name.
– **Fully configurable** – Choose modal size (small, medium, large, extra large) and the destination URL for the “Go to Library” button.
– **Session‑based suppression** – Optionally prevent the modal from reappearing during the same browser session when closed with the X button.
– **Permanent dismissal** – Users can click “Don’t show again” to never see the modal again (record stored in the database).
– **Privacy‑aware** – Implements Moodle’s Privacy API to handle user data correctly.
– **Policy integration** – If a site policy is enabled, the modal will only appear after the user has agreed to it.
– **Responsive design** – Looks great on all devices.
Requirements
– Moodle 4.1 or later
– PHP 7.4 or later
