Hi Hamza, Support for Moodle 3.7 has ended, so I would suggest you upgrade. It's difficult for the community to provide help with old releases of Moodle, since they may be subject to bugs which are fixed in current versions.

Regarding your specific question, it's hard to say what the problem is without seeing your code. Please provide a link to your code in a public repository on a site like GitHub or GitLab so that other developers can see what you have done so far, and suggest what changes you might need ot make.

Hi,

I would say that, before developping something, you should always describe precisely what you want to achieve.

Because perhaps there is already something existing that can answer your needs, using Moodle core tools, or existing plugins.

And at least, sometimes someone will point you to something you can take, and update to add what you need.

For exemple, the Unilabel plugin comes to my mind, but not sure it answers your needs.

Might also be able to achieve what the OP wants by using the Generico filter in a regular Moodle label.

If you're looking to add content in the course page, like label, and like folder (which displays a tree of the folder), the function you need to implement is `yourpluginname_get_coursemodule_info` in your plugin's `lib.php` file.

See https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/8af7bec81e8da777c3895c7eecaf84dffd24c6be/mod/folder/lib.php#L403

After that, it's down to you to fetch the data you require and output it.
