Kristina - thanks very much for considering the issue. I spoke again to the member of staff here who raised the issue; I think they and the students have just been confused by the change of behaviour.
I think until recently they thought new blocks would have a block descriptor as the title, e.g. "embedded media". I must admit I haven't gone back to retest though! Would you consider patches that made the title field required or somehow nudged students to change the title from 'Placeholder'? Don't worry if not, we're just exploring ways to drive behaviour and avoid lots of blocks with the placeholder title! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

The word 'placeholder' is present as the value of the input box. This leads some students to have many blocks with a title of 'placeholder'. Here's an abbreviated fragment of the HTML... <input type="text" class="form-control text autofocus" name="title" value="Placeholder"> Would it be better to have a blank 'value' and use the 'placeholder' attribute instead? So the HTML fragment would be as follows... <input type="text" class="form-control text autofocus" name="title" value="" placeholder="Block title"> To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1887982/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
