Admins should be able to predefine the default homepage for users

Hi,
here's another pitch for free use. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend the DevCamp this year. But maybe anyone is looking for a project for the DevCamp. I would be delighted if someone would work on some of them during the DevCamp... sourire
.. and of course: if you have any questions, I would be available for discussion.

Cheers, Martin

Description

In the admin settings, it is possible to define which homepage is used by default for users (see the ‘defaulthomepage’ setting: MOODLE/admin/settings.php?section=navigation)
Here, you can choose between ‘Home’, ‘Dashboard’, ‘My courses’ and ‘User preference’

Current behaviour

If you set the setting to ‘Home’, ‘Dashboard’ or ‘My courses’, users will always be redirected to the page defined here (when they log in normally – without a direct link to a specific page in Moodle).
If you set the option to ‘User preference’, users can select the page themselves in their profile settings, by default it is the page ‘Dashboard’.
However, as an administrator, you cannot set the default value for this with the option ‘User preference’, the page ‘Dashboard’ is always selected.

Expected behaviour

When selecting the ‘User preference’ option, it should also be possible to set the default value, as the ‘Dashboard’ is not necessarily the preferred start page.
