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 1.8.2+
- Moodle is maintained as a Debian package, which means that if you run the Debian operating system, you can install Moodle very easily.
- Maintainer: Moodle Packaging Team
- Debian Bug report logs: http://bugs.debian.org/moodle
- Debian download: http://packages.debian.org/moodle
FreeBSD server
- Moodle can be used with http://www.freebsd.org servers
- FreeBSD Moodle download: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/www/moodle
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 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 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.

Front ends and CMS
Joomla
There are a few ways in which you can integrate Joomla with Moodle. As at, July 2010, there are three applications / tools available:
- JFusion
- Joomdle
- Promoodle
JFusion
JFusion is a free GPL Extension for Joomla. JFusion provides universal user integration between a number of applications and Joomla including Moodle. JFusion is limited to providing Single Sign On and can be found at http://www.jfusion.org
Joomdle
Joomdle is a free GPL Extension for Joomla, developed in 2010, that provides integration between Moodle and Joomla. Joomdle's approach is that many organisations (Education, Government, Corporate) and communities wish to leverage the power of Moodle's educational functionality without having to give up their preferred Content Management System. It provides the following features:
- Single Sign On between Joomla and Moodle
- Centralised user profiles
- Searching Moodle content from the Joomla search engine
- Centralised user profile administration
- Presentation of Moodle content in Joomla pages
- Integration with other Joomla 3rd party extensions such as e-commerce and social networking platforms
- For more information refer to :
- http://www.joomdle.com
- http://www.joomdle.com/wiki/Main_Page for the Joomdle wiki
Promoodle
- 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:
- http://promoodle.com
- ProMoodle Installation for installation instructions for Single Sign On with Joomla-Moodle using ProMoodle only.
- As at June 2010, the Promoodle.com website does not "suggest" this application is still available. Furthermore, the application has been removed from the Joomla Extension Directory.
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
Mediawiki
- For information on this integration (still in early stages), see:
