Moodle 2.0

Update, 19th October 2011 Have found tree blocks. I must have been looking at the wrong source, or blind, or working off my own code too much, because they're right where they should have been all along. Will add these to the tutorial very soon - working on the write-up now.

In the blocks I have looked at, there is no closing php tag - ie the ?> is not included. In this tutorial it is.

By Jove, he's right! The lack of closing tags is, I believe, a trick to prevent problems with newline characters appearing after the closing tag. PHP has no real problem with the last tag not existing, so it's left out to be safe. I will add this to the tutorial when I get chance. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi Greg

That was quick! Looking through the forums it seems I'm embarking on a journey - trying to get my head around Moodle Development - that you started 5 years ago. Documentation is severely behind version 2.1, any tips? Also do you know of any developer courses? I haven't had any luck with Moodle partners here in Oz.

Thanks Richard Jones

Hi Richard

As it was a more personal post rather than anything related directly to Blocks, I've left a response over on talk. Cheers.
