Hi,
I'd like to find a specific page module instance in a course and update its contents, appending a specific html string that will depend on the current content. The page has a series of h2 with sequential titles like "Title 1", "Title 2", etc. I want to find out the last number and append the next number on the sequence.
- Use get_array_of_activities from course/lib.php to find the instance (by name if there's no hidden editable "ID" field like a course shortname).
- Use page_get_coursemodule_info from mod/page/lib.php to retrieve the page content. I haven't been able to get it to work because get_array_of_activities' return doesn't include the instance property required by this function, so I'm considering setting this property by myself. Another option would be to run a query and get the content directly from the database, but I'd like to use appropriate Moodle functions and OO if possible.
- Parse the HTML content using some kind of native PHP/Moodle HTML reader to figure out the last number in a h2.
- Update page content with page_update_instance from mod/page/lib.php. Not sure what I need to provide in the $data argument, hoping I can use the same object from get_array_of_activities.
Can someone please tell if this is the best way to accomplish what I want or am I missing something? Thanks in advance!
