AJAX Moodle user search

in

Having found the user search on Moodle very cumbersome I decided it was time to create an AJAX driven user search.  Every time I used the old search and entered a filter I was prompted to remove it before performing a new search.

By using my new AJAX search, results are displayed as I type, this allows me to find users much faster.  I have added links next to the results so I can quickly go to the user profile pages, messages or Moodle detective.

Releasing code back

Hi Lewis,

Do you have any plans to release your various patches back to the community?

The best way would be to attach patches in the Moodle Tracker.  http://tracker.moodle.org/

Cheers,
Martin

Releasing Code Back

Hi Martin,

Yes I do have plans to release code back to the community.  I will be converting some of my code to Moodle Modules and Blocks that can be installed into Moodle without complicated code changes for the end user.

I have to be careful with IPR though as technically my code belongs to the college where I work.  So I must seek permissions first.

Licensing

Actually any modified GPL code must itself be GPL, so anyone who has possession of it can distribute it under the GPL if they want to.   (That makes your case easy!)  :)

Anyway, nice work!
