New module for Moodle : how to?

Hi everyone,

It's been like 6 months that I'm using MOODLE. I'm particularly interested in the SCORM module. I've been searching around for some helps on how to create a new component/module, but no success.

Anyone here could direct me to the right place, where I can find some docs related to how to create a new component/module or plug in for MOODLE?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

I've found the best way of approaching this is to look at existing examples, and work from there.

There is some general information at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Developer_documentation on developing for Moodle, and some specific stuff on modules at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Modules_%28developer%29 (including a template for a new module).

What exactly are you trying to develop?

Hi Owen

Thanks for the links.

Well, I wish to integrate a forum inside SCORM viewer. Let take a look at the attached file for a global view of what I wish to develop.

As shown in the figure, the forum will be displayed according to the activity and the content of SCORM. The advantage is to attach a discussion forum with the course so that the users can directly see questions and answers appeared in forum, which are only related to each page of the course they are viewing.

I'd call that "contextual forum" smile

Got what I mean? Any tips would be appreciated.

Regards,

I think I understand where you are going with this. I'm not sure if I can be of much help, but if I were looking at this, I'd probably do the following (N.B. this is not an endorsement - I've fiddled around with Moodle, and done some coding, but I'm no expert)

I would try copying the existing SCORM stuff, and see if you can add in the option to create a Forum when adding a SCORM object, and then adjust the SCORM player to include a link to the Forum when playing the object

No idea if this is possible - just where I would start.

Hi Owen,

I'm working on how it is possible to do that too (I'm still the the phase of discovering :D) Hope I learn more from reading.
Anyway, any tips will be appreciated.
