Introduction

This document is about functional specification for Repository Administration

Requirements

• be able to enable/disable a repository
• be able to order a repository (it will change the way repositories are displayed in the file picker)
• be able to setup a repository

User Interface

We want something similar to Admin > Modules > Filters > Manage Filters. Below an example:

• The list is automatically generated. The list displays all repository plugin located in the moodle/repository/plugins folder
• Enable/Disable operation is available for all plugin
• Order operation is available for all plugin
• Settings operation is not mandatory (TBD: how to know if Settings operation is available, how to link this settings operation)

Settings operation

When user selects Settings operation for a repository, the system display a new page with a new form.
Settings options can be different for each module:

• allow the user to "Remember password"
• URL to the repository
• Rename the repository (affect only the name displayed in Moodle)
