Developer documentation

This Developer section of Moodle Docs is aimed at developers who contribute to the Moodle code, plugins, themes, and so on.

If you manage a Moodle site, Administrator documentation may suit your needs better.
If you teach using Moodle, try Teacher documentation.

Note: New developer documentation pages should be added to the Development namespace by typing Development: before the new page name i.e. [[New page name]]. If you are a developer, you probably want to change your preferences to include the Development namespace in searches.

A page may be added to the Developer category by adding the template {{CategoryDeveloper}} to the bottom of the page. - If required, you can use [[Category:Sort key]] to provide a sort key other than the default page name.
