Bug Description

On the Mahara Barcamp 2014 users expressed the wish to be able to change the shortcut-blocktypes that are displayed above the categories (currently Text and Image), maybe even be able to rearrange them with drag and drop. The users argued that different users have different habits for building pages and thus different preferred blocktypes that they use mostly/all the time.

An implementation for this would need to compatible with the changes I just pushed for Bug 1390339. I guess the way you could do it, is that the block's "get_category()" function would just be seen as the default location for the block, for new users.

Drag-and-drop would be nice. An easier (but uglier) way to do it would be to just use multi-selects, perhaps on the account settings page, kind of like the interface for assigning users to institutions.

It might also be worth taking a look at this patch, which allows admins to reorder the blocks within each category: https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/3977/
