Note: This article requires updating. Please add/remove systems as necessary.
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.
Servers
SME Server
- For Moodle 1.83
- Moodle is maintained as 2 RPM packages, moodle and smeserver-moodle which means that if you run the SME Server operating system, you can install Moodle very easily.
- Maintainer: http://www.dungog.net/wiki
- SME Server Moodle Documentation: http://wiki.contribs.org/Moodle
Debian server
- For Moodle 1.6+
- Moodle is maintained as a Debian package, which means that if you run the Debian operating system, you can install Moodle very easily.
- Maintainer: Isaac Clerencian
- Debian Bug report logs: http://bugs.debian.org/moodle
- Debian download: http://packages.debian.org/moodle
FreeBSD server
- For Moodle 1.5+
- Moodle is available as two packages for FreeBSD, one for MySQL and one for PostgreSQL.
- Maintainer: Kevin Lo

Third party script installers
Fantastico installer
- For Moodle 1.8.4
- The Fantastico system for Cpanel provides one-click installation for a number of open-source software packages. Moodle has been part of Fantastico for years now as the standard package for Education within the suite. The majority of cheap web hosts on the Internet use Fantastico allowing you to install Moodle with a single click.
- Discussion: http://www.netenberg.com/forum/
- Maintainer: Netenberg
- Fantastico De Luxe: http://netenberg.com/fantastico.php
Here is a sample of what Moodlers have reported about their experiences with Fantastico over the last few months in the Installation Problems forum, in chronological order, starting with the oldest:
- http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=63765#287608
- http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=64372#290265

- Recovering from a Fantastico installation
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

Front ends and CMS
Joomla
- A 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:
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
Mambo-Moodle 1.0
No longer supported
- Was for Moodle 1.4 at download.moodle.org/download.php/modules/mambo_moodle.zip
- This is a module for Mambo that allows it to merge very nicely with a Moodle installation.
- Maintainer: Cas Nuy
Mediawiki
- For information on this integration (still in early stages), see:
pnMoodle
No longer supported
- This is a 2003 module for PostNuke and Moodle that allows an existing Moodle installation to appear within a PostNuke installation, with single sign-on and even sideblocks.
- Maintainer: Cas Nuy
- Downloads: http://download.moodle.org/download.php/modules/pnMoodle.zip and http://download.moodle.org/download.php/modules/pnMoodle20.zip
Drupal Moodle
- A thread at CMS extensions and integrations forum about Drupal SSO
- 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 OpenID to connect Drupal, Moodle and Mediawiki. 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.
