Blocs (développeur)

Un guide pas à pas pour créer des blocs

Auteur : Jon Papaioannou (pj@uom.gr)

Le présent document est un guide qui s'adresse aux développeurs désireux de créer leur propres blocs dans Moodle.

It applies to the 1.5 development version of Moodle (and any newer) only, as the blocks subsystem was rewritten and expanded for the 1.5 release. However, you can also find it useful if you want to modify blocks written for Moodle 1.3 and 1.4 to work with the latest versions (look at  Appendix B).

The guide is written as an interactive course which aims to develop a configurable, multi-purpose block that displays arbitrary HTML. It's targeted mainly at people with little experience with Moodle or programming in general and aims to show how easy it is to create new blocks for Moodle. A certain small amount of PHP programming knowledge is still required, though. Experienced developers and those who just want a reference text should refer to Appendix A because the main guide has a rather low concentration of pure information in the text.
