Moodle IdLink Plugin

This plugin allows you to quickly redirect users to a Moodle activity using the activity's idnumber and optionally the course's idnumber.

Why doing this ? It's a way of managing 'universal' links that don't use courses and activity ids, and that can be preserved when the course is exported to another Moodle instance.

Features

• Redirects to the activity view page if the user has access.
• Supports filtering by course using the course's idnumber.
• If multiple activities match, presents a selection list.
• Handles permissions and visibility checks.

Usage

Call the plugin via URL:

/local/idlink/index.php?idnum=ACTIVITY_IDNUMBER&courseidnum=COURSE_IDNUMBER

• idnum: The idnumber of the activity (from course_modules.idnumber).
• courseidnum: (optional) The idnumber of the course (from course.idnumber).

If courseidnum is provided, the search is restricted to that course.

Installation

1. Copy the plugin folder to local/idlink in your Moodle installation.
2. Visit the admin notifications page to complete installation.
