How to create a plugin for Moodle using PHP

How to create a plugin for Moodle using PHP

This course will take you through the complete process of developing your first Moodle plugin.

It is highly recommended that you have PHP, HTML, JavaScript and CSS experience before attempting to create a plugin in Moodle but it is not essential that you have worked in Moodle before.

This course will teach you the basic structure and requirements of a plugin, then take you through the actual process of:

• creating the plugin

• adding the core files

• managing versions

• adding templates

• adding JavaScript

• a new database table for your plugin

• create, read and update data using forms

• provide data to templates

• access the Moodle database

• Export data to CSV and PDF

• Secure your pages

By the end of this course you will be ready to answer that question....

"Can Moodle do THIS?"

And you will be able to answer...

"Sure, let me write a plugin that will do it."

The plugin process is recorded using Moodle 3.9 but the code can be used in Moodle 3.7.2+

This course does get deep into coding but I am sure you will enjoy it and learn so much that will save you searching for days on the internet to find the solution to creating your own first plugin.

I will see you in the course.
