Talk:Blocks

Moodle 2.0

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.
