<p>Burki: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Activity modules''' reside in the 'mod' directory. Each module is in a separate subdirectory and consists of the following mandatory elements (plus extra scripts unique to each module):<br /> <br /> * ''mod.html'' - a form to set up or update an instance of this module<br /> * ''version.php'' - defines some meta-info and provides upgrading code<br /> * ''icon.gif'' - a 16x16 icon for the module<br /> * ''db/'' - SQL dumps of all the required db tables and data (for each database type)<br /> * ''index.php'' - a page to list all instances in a course<br /> * ''view.php'' - a page to view a particular instance<br /> * ''lib.php'' - any/all functions defined by the module should be in here. If the modulename is called widget, then the required functions include:<br /> :* widget_add_instance() - code to add a new instance of widget<br /> :* widget_update_instance() - code to update an existing instance<br /> :* widget_delete_instance() - code to delete an instance<br /> :* widget_user_outline() - given an instance, return a summary of a user's contribution<br /> :* widget_user_complete() - given an instance, print details of a user's contribution<br /> :* Other functions available but not required are:<br /> :** widget_delete_course() - code to clean up anything that would be leftover after all instances are deleted<br /> :** widget_process_options() - code to pre-process the form data from module settings<br /> :* To avoid possible conflict, any module functions should be named starting with widget_ and any constants you define should start with WIDGET_<br /> * ''config.html'' - (optional) a form to set up or update global settings of this module<br /> * Lastly, each module will have some language files that contain strings for that module.<br /> <br /> IMPORTANT: When creating a new module, the new name of the module must not contain numbers or other special characters! <br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> <br /> * http://download.moodle.org/download.php/modules/NEWMODULE.zip - new module template for starting module development.
