Description

Like course enrollment and user authentication, it would be nice to have a plugin that will interface between the Moodle 1.9 gradebook and an external database in order to synchronize grade items, categories, scales, and outcomes, facilitating the transfer of data between them.

Note that this should really be a standard Import and/or an Export plugin rather than a new type.

That would work, also, as long as there is a way to schedule the transfer of information, either at site or course level - maybe have a cron job that looks for what's been set up, or something like that, rather than relying on the instructor to manually hit the export function.

This was already possible in Moodle 1.9. Grade import and export plugins can have cron. Just create a function called grade_import_myimporter_cron() in grade/import/myimporter/lib.php.

(But note MDL-20783, before 1.9.6+)
