README

This is a template for Moodle blocks.

It is used by Moosh (http://moosh-online.com/) to generate new block plugins.

• This template assumes that the block is using a textual content type by default. If you want your block to display a list of items (using $this->content->items and $this->content->icons instead of $this->content->text), change the derived class of the block, from extends block_base to extends block_list. For more information: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Blocks#Additional_Content_Types.

• Go to Settings > Site Administration > Development > XMLDB editor and modify the module's tables.

• Modify version.php and set the initial version of you module.

• Visit Settings > Site Administration > Notifications, you should find the module's tables successfully created

• Go to Site Administration > Plugins > Blocks > Manage blocks and you should find that this newblock has been added to the list of installed modules.

• You may now proceed to run your own code in an attempt to develop your module. You will probably want to modify block_newmodule.php and edit_form.php as a first step. Check db/access.php to add capabilities.

Good luck!
