hi partners
I want create a web service that allow me create a new task in a course,
any idea?
Your starting point would be the Web Services API - that documentation links to a detailed tutorial and a template plugin.
As for what the function called by the web service does (the "external function" in moodle-speak), if you give more detail of what you mean by "create a new task", someone may be able to give you some more pointers.
Hi Mark, thanks for youre replay
i want to do this following: -add a new assignement
im using template plugin and trying set params from mod/assign/locallib/ assign_add_instance function , now, when i call the web service, the assignment is created and shown in the calendar events section but not in the assignments section.

mod/assign/lib:
function assign_add_instance(stdClass $data, mod_assign_mod_form $form = null) {
global $CFG;
require_once($CFG->dirroot . '/mod/assign/locallib.php');
$assignment = new assign(context_module::instance($data->coursemodule), null, null);
return $assignment->add_instance($data, true);
}
