Customlabel subtype development framework

The customlabel subtype development framework is a set of writting and development rules which will make easy making new subtypes for use in course contents.

The customlabel concept is to centralize all mechanical aspects in the customlabel module, thus keeping writing of a subtype minimalist.

What is a subtype?

A subtype is a cutomlabel subplugin handled by the generic subplugin API of Moodle.

A subtype is essentially :

• a directory in the mod/customlabel/type directory
• a subclass of the customlabel_type (@see /mod/customlabel/type/customtype.class.php)
• a file version.php to handle subplugin verisonning
• a lang directory for storing templates and language dependant strings
• a local css file for preseting default styling

The customlabel_type class

The customlabel_type class describes what is the internal information model of the customlabel.
