This course will take you through the complete process of developing your first Moodle plugin.

It is highly recommended that you have PHP, HTML, JavaScript and CSS experience before attempting to create a plugin in Moodle but it is not essential that you have worked in Moodle before.

This course will teach you the basic structure and requirements of a plugin, then take you through the actual process of:

creating the plugin

adding the core files

managing versions

adding templates

adding JavaScript

a new database table for your plugin

create, read and update data using forms

provide data to templates

access the Moodle database

Export data to CSV and PDF

Secure your pages

By the end of this course you will be ready to answer that question.

“Can Moodle do THIS?”

And you will be able to answer

“Sure, let me write a plugin that will do it.”

The plugin process is recorded using Moodle 3.9 but the code can be used in Moodle 3.7.2+

This course does get deep into coding but I am sure you will enjoy it and learn so much that will save you searching for days on the internet to find the solution to creating your own first plugin.

I will see you in the course.

How long do I have access to the course materials?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
