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
The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

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

Notes

  • As first concern is non-editing view, student views will be the focus of this initial survey

File resource

Visible Conventions

  • First-level header (optional)
  • Content embedded or as link
  • Content description, "intro"
