Replacing Moodle My Courses Block

The following SQL statements should cause all My Courses blocks to change...use at your own risk

1. Get the ID of the Strathcourse_list block

    SELECT id FROM `classes_michael`.`mdl_block` where name ='strathcourse_list';
   

2. Get the ID of the regular Course list block

    SELECT id FROM `classes_michael`.`mdl_block` where name ='course_list';
   

3. Update all instances of course_list blocks to be strathcourse_list block

    UPDATE mdl_block_instance bi SET bi.blockid = <id from 1.> WHERE bi.blockid = <id from 2.>;
   

You should repeat this with the mdl_block_pinned table if you want to update sticky blocks.
