Developer conference May 2006
From MoodleDocs
Moodle 1.6
Quiz
- Gustav Delius is handing over the Quiz module to the Open University on Tuesday 23rd May 2006
- Tim Hunt will be the main person working on quiz
- 1.6 quiz is much cleaner, set up for growth, enabling questions in different modules, developing assessment type using questions, hopefully more modules will use questions in future e.g. Questionnaire module (comment from Mike Churchward)
Themes
- 1.6 theme upgrade documentation
- Unfortunate that theme developments were reverted - better to have tested more before committing
- Currently problems with a "you are here" link and the jump link between blocks (see skip-block feature new in 1.6 forum discussion), images in navigation not so nice and the alternate icon set is incomplete
- Lots of deprecated tags still in 1.6 - these should be cleaned up for 1.7, using a page in Moodle Docs rather than the bug tracker
1.6 code
- Lots of different styles of code - difficult for newcomers to know what to copy (comment from Gustav Delius)
- The Database module should be a good example with classes, plugins etc. (reply from Martin)
