Tracker

The Moodle Tracker is our database for recording and managing all Moodle development issues - bugs (problems with the software), improvements and feature requests.

Searching for an issue

Before creating a new issue, please try searching to check whether it been reported previously.

1. Enter a phrase, such as an error message in the 'Quick Search' box at the top right of the page.
2. If the search returns lots of results, click the 'Updated' column heading so that the most recent issues are displayed first.
3. To refine your search, click on 'Moodle' as the project in the left column, then click the 'Refresh search' link below. You can then select particular components or versions as appropriate.

To do anything more than browsing and searching in the tracker, you'll need to create a tracker account and then login.
