Error when clicking on a student not enrolled in current course. about moodle-block_quickfindlist

So this is a case where you've not configured a role or a custom URL, and you're using the block from inside a course, it will still return users who aren't enrolled on that course?

I'd be a bit concerned that having different behaviour for different users might be a cause for confusion. It's probably not obvious why clicking on one user would keep you in the course context while another would take you to the system context. I'd say either everyone's links should go to the site-wide profile by default, or it shouldn't return users from outside the course when you're using the block within a course.

My thought was that everyone would get redirected to the site-wide profile. Would there be a reason not to?

Where is the config->url set? There aren't config settings for the block (that I'm seeing)...

moodle-block_quickfindlist/block_quickfindlist.php

Lines 108 to 112 in 305e8b2

	if (empty($this->config->url)) {
	$url = new moodle_url('/user/view.php', array('course' => $COURSE->id));
	} else {
	$url = new moodle_url($this->config->url);
	}

Now there's an interesting thought. What if we made this an admin setting?

It should be a per-instance config setting, on the same form that controls where the block appears etc.
