This README file is based off the original README written by Martin Dougiamas However it as well as some of the code has been re-written so that the module will work with Moodle 2.0 and beyond (with luck) The following steps should get you up and running with this module template code. 1. Unzip the archive and read this file 2. The module folder MUST be lower case before Moodle will recognize it. 3. Edit all the files in this directory and change all the instances of shop to your new module name (eg widget). 4. Place the shop folder into the /mod folder of the moodle directory. 5. As Admin goto Notifications and you should find the module's databases successfully created 6. Now go to Modules then to Activities in the Site Administration block And you should find that this shop has been added to the list of recognized modules. 7. You may now proceed to run your own code in an attempt to develop for moodle. Good luck with that. For help with developing code for moodle, visit the "Activity modules" developers forum in the online course called "Using Moodle" at http:/* moodle.org */ Or email Martin Dougiamas at: martin@moodle.com For more information about the reviser of the original shop template visit http://www.welcometochrisworld.com -Chris B Stones February 28, 2007
