Note:

If you want to create a new page for developers, you should create it on the Moodle Developer Resource site.

Survey of existing page views and markup

From MoodleDocs

Overall Conventions

  • First, the no-brainer: page content is inside of #region-main #region-content
  • Classes .box and .generalbox are utilized in many screen views, but not consistently across different resource and activity types
  • Most resources and activities use a combination of IDs and classes to style components

File resource

Markup as follows:

 

File

    <object id="resourceobject" data="http://localhost/code/moodle22/pluginfile.php/31/mod_resource/content/7/Sample%20PowerPoint.pptx" type="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation" width="800" height="600" style="width: 971px; height: 400px; ">
      <param name="src" value="http://localhost/code/moodle22/pluginfile.php/31/mod_resource/content/7/Sample%20PowerPoint.pptx">
         Click <a href="http://localhost/code/moodle22/pluginfile.php/31/mod_resource/content/7/Sample%20PowerPoint.pptx">Sample PowerPoint.pptx</a> link to view the file.
