What is contributed code?

Contributed code, or "contrib" for short, is understood to be all code contributed to Moodle which is not included in the standard Moodle distribution.

Where can I download contributed modules and plugins from?

The Moodle plugins directory

How do I install a contributed module or plugin?

See Installing plugins for instructions. Often the Module and plugin database will also have instructions for a specific contributed code. Some, but not all, contributors include a "Read me" file with instructions in their contributed code package.

In a typical install, you will probably copy some php files into one or more areas of you Moodle site's code, then click on the Site administration link called "Notifications" to start the install process.
