Moodle Customization --> just a glimpse


Most schools and colleges or corporate training departments prefer to customize the Moodle LMS so that it meets their precise needs and also helps reinforce their branding. Many also prefer to conduct training and administration in-house. Here I will provide as much (or as little) customization as you require.
We can customize a Moodle theme to match your identity. We integrate Moodle in you Drupal, Joomla, WordPress as part of our customization service. Lambda Solutions offers you a choice of popular Moodle modules and plugins such as grade books, certificates to add functionality on top of the Moodle core functions.
Moodle customization includes with the theme to match your identity. Moodle can be integrated with Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress. Customized modules and plugins like gradebooks, certificates and report functionalities can be added to the developed moodle LMS.
Language customization:
Moodle is translated into many languages - see Moodle.org: Language packs for their list and the translation completion status. The translations are distributed in so called language packages (or just lang packs) that are maintained by kind volunteers, community contributors and Moodle partners. Please read the page Translation first to understand how the whole localization machinery works.
Moodle site administrators can customize any language pack to fit their individual needs (for example to use the term "Unit" instead of "Course"). You are discouraged from direct editing the files coming as a part official language pack. Such changes would be silently overwritten during the next upgrade. Instead, you should create a local language pack that holds all your changes from the official pack.
Local language packs have the same structure as the official ones. They are saved in your Moodle data directory in moodledata/lang/xx_local/ folder where 'xx' is the code of the language. You have to have the official language pack installed before you can customize it. Local language pack should contain just strings you have customized - you should not copy whole official language packs.
When displaying a string, Moodle first looks if a local customization of it exists in moodledata/lang/xx_local/component_file.php. If so, it is used. If not, the string from the official language pack is used (eventually, if the string has not been translated yet, the original English version is displayed). Please note that the strings are cached for better performance so you have to purge Moodle caches after you modify a file in your xx_local pack (caches are purged automatically if you use the tool described below).
Moodle comes with a tool that allows you to edit your local language pack via web interface. This tool is available for the site administrators in Settings > Site administration > Language > Language customization.
