PLP/ILP for Moodle

[Hightower]

We've implemented the following add-on for Moodle, and find it's a really good feature:

Moodle.org: Modules and plugins

I had to carry out a few code hacks to get it to suit us exactly, but now it's finished and we're over the moon with it.

Anyhow, long story short is, the docs have mentioned a few times it is possible to pull attendance from SIMS and other data for each pupil. It even has a demo or two showing this in action, however it doesn't really say how it is achieved.

Has anybody else set this up on their Moodle install?

Hi Hightower,
You need to write your own PHP code to pull in data from other data sources. As a stating point:

For student view copy /{yourmoodleroot}/blocks/ilp_student_info/template.php to /{yourmoodleroot}/blocks/ilp_student_info/templates/custom/

For teacher view copy /{yourmoodleroot}/blocks/ilp/template.php to /{yourmoodleroot}/blocks/ilp/templates/custom/

You can then edit these templates to effect the ILP profile pages.

Cheers,

Nathan.
