Hi everyone,
I'm new in Moodle development and trying to develop subplugin for Book module. My question is is it possible to use plugin's form (edit_form in particular) in subplugin, ie is it possible to instantiate that form in subplugin?
What I want to do is to create custom validation subplugin and use the editor from the plugin for editing content.
Thanks!
You have a great degree of freedom in developing code for Moodle. So yes, you can use that class if you need it. It is however considered a good programming practice to extend class you plan on using because it than later gives you chance to easily add any new stuff specific to your plugin.
class myform_sample extends moodleform {
protected function definition() {
$mform = $this->_form;
$options = array(
'startyear' => 2013,
'stopyear' => 2020,
'timezone' => 99,
'optional' => false
);
$mform->addElement('date_selector', 'vreme', 'aa', $options);
$this->add_action_buttons();
}
}
class myform2 extends myform_sample {
protected function definition() {
$mform = $this->_form;
// Add custom stuff before.
parent::definition();
// Add custom stuff after.
}
}
Hvala Darko!
And I suppose I should include plugin's class definition with
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'../../edit_form.php');

In Moodle you should avoid using relative paths. Always use absolute path like this:
global $CFG; require_once($CFG->dirroot.'relative path of module starting with / '); require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/blocks/myblock/myform.php');
