Quick Links items

Use the visual builder below. It generates HTML directly into the textarea (no extra parser). You can edit the HTML manually if needed. Tip: This field works well with the FilterCodes plugin. You can wrap generated items in FilterCodes shortcodes/conditions to show or hide links for specific users. You can use moodle://home, moodle://dashboard, moodle://calendar, moodle://privatefiles, and moodle://contentbank as URL shortcuts. Example HTML snippets: <div class="dropdown-header" data-ql-type="label">Teachers</div> <a class="dropdown-item rui-quicklinks-grid-item" data-ql-type="link" href="/grade/report/grader/index.php"><div class="rui-quicklinks-header"><div class="rui-quicklinks-headertext"><div class="rui-quicklinks-title">Gradebook</div><div class="rui-quicklinks-subtitle">Reports</div></div></div></a> <div class="dropdown-divider" data-ql-type="hr"></div>
