This is an overview of the files that are found within Repository plugins.

  • /repository/myplugin/lib.php - this contains the core functionality for your plugin. Within it you must define a class:

<syntaxhighlight lang="php"> class repository_myplugin extends repository {

 // See Repository plugins for a list of functions to override in here

}

<syntaxhighlight lang="php"> defined('MOODLE_INTERNAL') || die(); $plugin->version = 2012061700; //The current plugin version (Date: YYYYMMDDXX) $plugin->requires = 2012061700; //Requires this Moodle version $plugin->component = 'repository_myplugin'; //Full name of the plugin (used for diagnostics) $plugin->cron = 0; // How often to run automatic updates (0 to disable) $plugin->release = 'Human-readable version number';

  • /repository/myplugin/lang/en/repository_myplugin.php - contains the English language strings for display by your plugin. As a minimum, this must include:

<syntaxhighlight lang="php"> defined('MOODLE_INTERNAL') || die(); $string['configplugin'] = 'Configuration for my plugin repository'; $string['pluginname'] = 'My plugin repository'; $string['pluginname_help'] = 'A few more details about my repository';

  • /repository/myplugin/db/access.php - defines any user capabilities related to the plugin. A basic access.php file will look like this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="php"> defined('MOODLE_INTERNAL') || die(); $capabilities = array(

   'repository/myplugin:view' => array(
       'captype' => 'read',
       'contextlevel' => CONTEXT_MODULE,
       'archetypes' => array(
           'user' => CAP_ALLOW 
       )
   )

);

Once the capabilities have been defined, it is good practice to add a language string for them to the lang/en/repository_myplugin.php file: <syntaxhighlight lang="php"> $string['myplugin:view'] = 'View the myplugin repository';
