As a Site Administrator you can adjust the site's AJAX and JavaScript preferences by going to Quick-access menu > Appearance > AJAX and JavaScript.
Setting | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
Use online YUI libraries | Instead of using local files, use online files available on Yahoo‘s servers. | This requires an internet connection, or no AJAX will work on your site. This setting is not compatible with sites using https. |
YUI combo loading | This option enables combined file-loading optimisation for YUI libraries. This setting should be enabled on production sites for performance reasons. | - |
Cache JavaScript | JavaScript caching and compression greatly improves pages' loading performance. It is strongly recommended for production sites. However, developers will probably want to disable this feature. | - |
Activity chooser default | Decide if the Activity chooser should be presented to users by default. | - |
Activity editing menus | If enabled, many of the activity-editing icons shown when viewing a course (with editing enabled) will be displayed within a dropdown menu. This reduces the content on screen when editing a course by hiding the icons until they are needed. | - |
Block editing menus | If enabled, many of the block-editing icons shown (when editing is enabled) will be displayed within a dropdown menu. This reduces the content on screen by hiding the icons until they are needed. | - |
