People who used drupal are familiar with the plugin or theme installation of drupal. You just copy and paste the url of plugin or a theme then it automatically install the theme or plugin. so such an improvement can be very usefull for the Moodle Themes or plugins.
That may be so for Drupal, but this connot be permitted in Moodle for security reasons.
But... there has been a lot of discussion around how to do this in a secure manner without making the webroot writable on the webserver - I think an implementation that will allow moodle to be updated using some form of one-click installer will come eventually... Moodle 2.3 has just implemented automated version checking for 3rd party plugins - that's the first step towards something a bit more automated.
Hi Dan,
That may be so, but it's a long way off yet. We can't even use file-picker in a theme settings page, so how on earth can we possibly expect to pull in a plugin theme?
Hopeful but still sceptical...
