Resource module file API migration

Moodle 2.0

Current problems

• text and html resource types separate
• embedded images and files in general are stored in course files without appropriate access control
• local files and Internet links mixed
• is IMS plug-in maintained?
• repository plug-in obsoleted

Types of resources

• Resource page - using new editor element
• External resource link - some file stored elsewhere
• Single uploaded images and files
• Packages and uploaded html files
• Other 3rd party plugis
