Fileref:config.html

(parent)

This is the main configuration page for the Sloodle module. Note: it is only a fragment which cannot be accessed directly. It must be accessed through the Moodle modules script.

When first accessed, the file carries out initial processing of existing Moodle data to check if Sloodle settings exist in the Moodle configuration table. If not, it creates appropriate default values. An HTML form is displayed allowing the user to submit their configuration options. A configuration processing function (sloodle_process_options defined in lib.php) is called by the Moodle framework to validate the configuration. If valid, then it is stored and Moodle takes over. However, if the configuration is invalid, then the user is re-directed back to the configuration page, and appropriate error messages are displayed.

Dependencies

Sloodle files:

• config.php
• lib/sl_generallib.php
