I am very new to moodle. I made a custom plugin for adding some custom feature. I made a custom form using moodle form api. This is the code for custom signup form usign moodleform- `

    <?php
/*
 * @package     local_message
 * @author      Kristian
 * @license     http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU GPL v3 or later
 */

//moodleform is defined in formslib.php
require_once("$CFG->libdir/formslib.php");

class custom_signup_form extends moodleform {
    //Add elements to form
    public function definition() {
        global $CFG;
       
        $mform = $this->_form; // Don't forget the underscore! 

        $mform->addElement('text', 'email', get_string('email')); // Add elements to your form.
        $mform->setType('email', PARAM_NOTAGS);                   // Set type of element.
        $mform->setDefault('email', 'Please enter email');        // Default value.
    }
    //Custom validation should be added here
    function validation($data, $files) {
        return array();
    }
}

Then I called that form in a php file to display -

<?php
/*
 * @package     local_message
 * @author      Kristian
 * @license     http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU GPL v3 or later
 */



require_once(__DIR__ . '/../../config.php');
require_once($CFG->dirrot . '/local/custom_signup/classes/form/edit.php');

$PAGE->set_url(new moodle_url('/local/custom_signup/signupform.php'));
$PAGE->set_title(get_string('custom_signup', 'local_custom_signup'));

#custom form for signup

$mform = new custom_signup_form();



echo $OUTPUT->header();

$mform->display();

echo $OUTPUT->footer();

But it shows me that error - PHP error logo

CodePudding user response:

By checking your error logs, You haven't added correct location. You need to verify the path to file.

Moreover, is $CFG->dirrot spelling is correct? Isn't it $CFG->dirroot?
