Navigation has now been re-ordered in accordance with http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Navigation_2.0_structure. This has led to several changes in the way in which navigation is generated included API changes, most notably using the navigation_nodes add method now returns the newly added node rather than the key. At the same time the global_navigation_tree block has been renamed to navigation and settings_navigation_tree to settings.
ACTIVITY MODULES
----------------
These are main modules in Moodle, allowing various activities.
Each of these modules contains a number of expected components:
mod_form.php: a form to setup/update a module instance
version.php: defines some meta-info and provides upgrading code
pix/icon.gif: a 16x16 icon for the module
db/install.xml: an SQL dump of all the required db tables and data
index.php: a page to list all instances in a course
view.php: a page to view a particular instance
lib.php: any/all functions defined by the module should be in here.
constants should be defined using MODULENAME_xxxxxx
functions should be defined using modulename_xxxxxx
There are a number of standard functions:
modulename_add_instance()
modulename_update_instance()
modulename_delete_instance()
modulename_user_complete()
modulename_user_outline()
modulename_cron()
modulename_print_recent_activity()
