Development:lib/weblib.php
From MoodleDocs
This library is largely concerned with generating output.
There are lots of different things in this library, and so far, only a very few parts have been documented. However, remember:
- The code should be well written and easy to understand. Want to know what a particular function does? Well, read the code. Unlike documentation, the code does not get out of date.
- The generated phpDocumentor output should give brief details about each function.
Documentation of particular bits
- Development:lib/weblib.php_moodle_url - Class for creating and manipulating urls.
You need to call this function before calling print_header(_simple) to create the $navigation parameter. There is an extensive PHPdocumentor comment in the code that explains usage.
Typical examples are:
From mod/quiz/attempt.php: $navigation = build_navigation($strattemptnum, $cm); print_header_simple(format_string($quiz->name), "", $navigation, ... ) From mod/forum/post.php: $navlinks = array(); $navlinks[] = array('name' => format_string($post->subject, true), 'link' => "discuss.php?d=$discussion->id", 'type' => 'title'); $navlinks[] = array('name' => get_string("prune", "forum"), 'link' => '', 'type' => 'title'); $navigation = build_navigation($navlinks, $cm); print_header_simple(format_string($discussion->name).": ".format_string($post->subject), "", $navigation, ... )
