We got Moodle running for >300 students. Teachers want some changes not available in settings, so I'll try to modify php-files. However, for testing it is not always enought to just say "cp -a somefile.php test-somefile.php" and modify test-file.
I tried to copy whole Moodle installation ("cp -R -s /usr/share/moodle /usr/share/moodle-test" and then linking to /var/www -- this way I could change only needed files). It does not seem to work. Is there easy way to make some kind of test installation?
I want to use real data, because it is much easier than putting in enought test data.
