Hello we want to use our Moodle Platform 2.5 for the sale of videos we will be launching. I want our platform that users pay to communicate with our Moodle platform and create usernames and give users access to the videos. Where is the PHP code done at? What do I explain to the PHP Developer we are hiring? Do I tell him to copy current plugins? If so what plugin? I basically want our payment software to communicate with Moodle etc... please HELP?
Two ways to look at it I can think of.
1. Moodle has an existing plugin - PayPal enrolment. (in enrol/paypal). Take that as a basis, copy and modify to suit your needs.
2. Do everything outside Moodle and use Moodle's web services API to 'control' Moodle remotely (http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Web_services)
Of course, you might want to contract a developer who has done this sort of thing before
