Integration is the bringing together of Moodle with other programs so they function together as a system. Moodle can be integrated with a variety of other programs to meet various needs of a website.

=Third party script installers=

==Fantastico installer==

* Many web hosts on the Internet use Fantastico and Moodle has been part of their standard package in their Education suite for years.  The Fantastico system for Cpanel provides one-click installation for a [http://netenberg.com/fantastico_scripts.php number of open-source software packages]. As with any 3rd party packages, while it is an easy initial install and you will receive notices about updates, it may require tweaking to meet the needs of a specific Moodle site.

Moodlers report their current and past experiences with Fantastico in the [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=15 Installation Problems forum].

==4PSA Integrator installer==

* This product is just like Fantastico, but for the less-common Plesk control panel. And yes, Moodle is in there too.
* Maintainer: 4PSA
* 4PSA Integrator: http://www.4psa.com/products/4psaintegrator.php

=Front ends and CMS=

==Joomla==

* A [http://www.joomla.org Joomla component] (1.3 and 1.5) that, when added as a Joomla menu link, will log Joomla users into Moodle.
* Can use either Joomla authentication (with Moodle using the external database authentication plugin) or Moodle authentication (with Joomla using the available Moodle authentication plugin).
* For more information see:
**http://promoodle.com
**[[Joomla authentication]] for installation instructions for Single Sign On with Joomla-Moodle.

==Mahara==

* Affectionately known as [[Mahoodle]]
* It's all built in to Moodle (1.9) and Mahara. At the moment it really just means single sign on and automatic account creation.
* There have been a few bugs sorted recently, so make sure you are running up to date versions of both
* Setting it all up has quite a few steps that need to be followed carefully - it's documented here (PDF) - [https://eduforge.org/docman/view.php/176/3200/Mahoodle.pdf https://eduforge.org/docman/view.php/176/3200/Mahoodle.pdf]

*[http://moodle.org/file.php/5/moddata/forum/811/512190/Moodle_Block_for_Drupal_6.x_v0.3.zip SSO integration Moodle Block for Drupal 6.x] from CMS & Intregration forum works with Moodle 1.9.5. ZIP file includes directions.
:Requirement: Drupal 6.x, Moodle 1.9.5, Drupal LDAP integration module.
:Install in Drupal: copy 2 php files, edit 2 php files, create block in Drupal.  Check Moodle site administration settings>Server>Session handling defaults.


* Update (Victor Kane)
:Version of this module which supports the new Drupal 5.0 beta and Moodle 1.7.x
:Page: http://awebfactory.com.ar/node/174
:Download: http://awebfactory.com.ar/files/moodle.tgz
::From reading various links in Sept 2009, SSO can serve as a database to confirm usernames and passwords. It does not provide a dual log in function where the goal is for an authenticated user to only login once. 

'''OpenAcademic'''
* An approach emphasizing Single Sign On using [http://openid.net OpenID] to connect Drupal, Moodle and Mediawiki. [http://openacademic.org OpenAcademic] is also looking at methods of moving content between Drupal and Moodle. This project looks to create a system simple enough for a small school/organization to install, yet robust enough to scale upwards (with the right hardware/staffing) to support large institutions. All code developed with this project will be released back to the open source community.
