moodle-local_libreria

Small site-wide tweaks for the Librería de Satoshi Moodle instance — the things that are too small to deserve a plugin of their own, but shouldn't be hand-edited into core or carried as a patch across upgrades.

Installed as a git submodule at public/local/libreria in custom-moodle.

What's in here

Pseudonym note on the signup form

Moodle hardcodes firstname and lastname as required fields on the signup form; neither can be removed or made optional through settings. Rather than relabel the core language strings — which would change the wording in the gradebook, participant lists and profile pages too — this adds one line above the name fields:

You may use a pseudonym instead of your real name.

Implemented with the extend_signup_form callback (Moodle 3.8+) in lib.php.

Scope: email self-registration only. Nostr logins (auth_nostr) never render this form, and Moodle does not run this callback for the mobile app or the web services API.

Pairs with: Site administration → Users → Permissions → User policies → Full name format and Alternative full name format set to firstname. Without that, someone entering the same pseudonym in both fields displays as "Satoshi Satoshi" across the site.

Adding another tweak

Drop it into lib.php, add its strings to lang/en/ and lang/es/, bump $plugin->version in version.php, and document it under "What's in here". No new repo or submodule needed.
