Hello again!
I have an assignment plugin "Online Judge". I want to be able to add multiple instances of this assignment to the course. I have a text file with all the data needed to create an $assignment object.
Will it be OK if created an array of such objects and then just use
require_once('assignment.class.php');
foreach ($assignments_array as $assignment) {
add_instance($assignment);
}
Or is it a bad practice?
There are several steps involved in creating a new activity in a course. You need to create the activity database entry, like you are doing, and you also need to create a course_modules table entry, to represent it in the cours. You will also need to add a course_section entry to link it to a particular section of a course, then call rebuild_course_cache to update the displayed copy of the course.
Instead of repeatedly bumping this in the forum, if you looked inside course/modedit.php (the script in the url when you are creating a new activity), you will see it call add_moduleinfo which does all this for you.
