Sub-Plugins

The archiving core plugin is distributed with a default set of sub-plugins (e.g., activity archiving drivers, storage drivers, ...). These will be automatically installed alongside the core plugin. Adding and removing any of the available sub-plugins is described in this section.

You can find an overview of available sub-plugins types as well as a list of available sub-plugins on the components page:

Components Overview

Installing sub-plugins

All sub-plugins must be installed inside a plugin-type specific subfolder inside the local/archiving/driver directory of your Moodle installation. The table below lists the different installation locations.

Sub-plugin type	Component	Installation directory
Activity archiving driver	`archivingmod`	`local/archiving/driver/mod`
Storage driver	`archivingstore`	`local/archiving/driver/store`
External event connector	`archivingevent`	`local/archiving/driver/event`

After placing the sub-plugins code inside the correct directory (e.g., local/archiving/driver/mod/quiz for archivingmod_quiz), log into your Moodle site as an admin and go to Site administration to complete the installation.

Check the sub-plugin documentation

Sub-plugins may require additional setup steps or dependencies to be met. Please always check the documentation of the sub-plugin you are installing for additional information.

Verifying installation

After the installation is complete, you should see the sub-plugin listed under: Site administration > Plugins > Local plugins > Archiving > Manage Components.

Uninstalling

To remove sub-plugin perform the following steps:

Log in to your Moodle site as an admin.
(Optional) Go to Site administration > Plugins > Local plugins > Archiving > Manage components, find the sub-plugin you want to remove and make sure it is disabled, if applicable.
Navigate to Site administration > Plugins > Plugin overview.
Find the sub-plugin and click on Uninstall next to it.
Let the uninstallation process run.
Delete the plugin files from your Moodle folder.
