Moodle Plugin Development The Feature Moodle Forgot.
When the plugins directory has nothing that fits, we build it: report plugins your managers actually use, enrolment logic that matches your rules, blocks, activities and integrations. Custom plugins from a $200 fixed quote, built to Moodle coding standards and tested on staging before production.
If It Can Be a Plugin, We Can Build It
The most requested builds, in plain terms.
Reports & dashboards
Configurable reports, completion exports, manager dashboards and scheduled email digests — the data your leadership asks for, without SQL by hand.
Enrolment & payments
Custom enrolment rules, approval flows, coupon logic, and payment gateway plugins that enrol students automatically the moment payment clears.
Blocks, activities & tools
Custom blocks, gradebook tools, certificate generators, attendance variants and admin utilities that slot into Moodle like they were always there.
Plugins That Survive Your Next Upgrade
Most plugin pain comes from shortcuts. We do not take them.
- Built strictly to Moodle core coding standards (Moodle Plugin CI clean)
- Capability checks and sesskey protection on every action
- Database changes via xmldb — clean install, upgrade and uninstall
- Language strings, help and privacy API (GDPR) support included
- Tested against your plugin set on a staging clone first
- Full source code and handover documentation — you own it
Broken Plugin? We Fix Those Too
Plugin conflicts and abandoned plugins are the top cause of upgrade fear.
Conflict diagnosis
Two plugins fighting, a white screen after install, a plugin blocking your upgrade — diagnosed on staging with a written cause and fix.
Abandoned plugin rescue
Your key plugin has not been updated since Moodle 3.x? We fork, patch and maintain it against current versions so your upgrade can proceed.
Security audit
We review custom and third-party plugin code for the classic holes: missing capability checks, unescaped output, direct file access.
Plugin Questions
How much does a custom Moodle plugin cost?
Simple plugins start at a $200 fixed quote. Complex builds (payment flows, external integrations) are quoted per project after scoping — fixed price, in writing, before work starts.
Will your plugin break when we upgrade Moodle?
It is built not to: coding standards, the plugin API, and no core modifications. We also test against the next Moodle version on staging as part of delivery.
Can you fix a plugin another developer wrote?
Yes. We start with a staging diagnosis and give you a written cause plus a fixed repair quote. If the plugin is unsalvageable, we will say so and quote the rebuild.
Do you publish plugins to the Moodle plugins directory?
If you want it public, yes — we can prepare it to directory standards. Private client plugins stay private and are delivered as installable zip packages.
What do you need from us to start?
A plain-language description of what the plugin should do and, ideally, staging access. We handle the rest and demo on staging before production.
Describe the Plugin. Get a Fixed Quote.
Two or three sentences about what it should do is enough to start. We reply with feasibility and a fixed price — or the free alternative if one exists.
