Creating a Global Configuration form

In order to create a global confuration form using formslib, you must create a file /blocks/BLOCKNAME/config_global_form.php

In this file a class like needs to be created which follows the naming scheme: block_BLOCKNAME_config_global_form

require_once $CFG->dirroot .'/blocks/block_config_global_form.php';

class block_BLOCKNAME_config_global_form extends block_config_global_form {

   function block_configuration(&$mform){

       // add a html editor text field
       $this->add_config_element('htmleditor', 'block_BLOCKNAME_text', get_string('text','BLOCKNAME'));

       // set the default value, this will set the default value
       // or set the $CFG value for the same name, if it exists
       $this->set_config_default('block_BLOCKNAME_text', 'mydefault');

       // set an appropiate PARAM type
       $mform->setType('block_BLOCKNAME_text', PARAM_NOTAGS);

   }

}
