Dear Aparup,

regarding the plugin name: I think you did the same typo in your comment like me when I named the plugin. Did you mean to propose naming the plugin "Re-Sort Courses" instead of "Resort courses"? I think that should be possible.

regarding the readme.txt: There is an option "Rename readme.* to readme.txt" when uploading a new plugin zip package. I always check this option, but readme.md never gets renamed. I already told Anthony about this problem. Perhaps you could have a look at this or create a tracker issue? As soon as this upload option works, there will be a readme.txt

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks Alexander. This installed fine for me and i'm glad that no patching is needed now

I'm a little confused with the use of the term 'resort' here, you many want to consider a title change to "Resort Courses"

Also do consider adding a readme.txt file (which can be a copy of readme.md)

Anthony, I've migrated the plugin settings from config.php to a settings page within Moodle and have more documentation and a screenshot.

In addition, a documentation url and a screenshot (perhaps a before and after) would be helpful.

The plugin does not work unless two variables are declared in config.php and these were not mentioned in the install section of the README document but were mentioned later. Technically, requiring the modification of the config.php makes this a patch which we are trying to avoid. I have encouraged Alexander to go ahead and add a settings page for those variable and to make sure to initialize them to avoid them being undefined. I've asked him to create the settings page prior to approval which will ensure that this plugin is in fact a plugin rather than a patch. Peace - Anthony
