UPDATE MoodleLMS - new plugin types up to 5.0.x

[michaelmeneses]

New plugin types:

• aiplacement
• aiprovider
• smsgateway

From Moodle 5.1, all php files are in the /public directory. Should I create a new pull request to update the paths of the installers, or am I missing something in the way composer works?

Hi @mjrox

Yes! From version 5.1 onwards, the destination folder that was /{plugintype} becomes /public/{plugintype}.

I submitted this PR up to version 5.0 to update it to include the available types there.

I have a project for Moodle with Composer:
https://github.com/michaelmeneses/moodle-composer

I haven't yet updated and processed the project to version 5.1 or higher.

What are you planning to do to fix this?

Hi @michaelmeneses

I'm afraid I don't have a plan to fix this - I'm addressing it by overriding the installer paths e.g.

    "extra": {
        "installer-paths": {
            "public/auth/{$name}/": ["type:moodle-auth"]
        }
    }

... which is not the most elegant solution.

I suggest that any solution would also need to accommodate pre 5.1 sites - would you agree?
