Add a plugin type page describing how to write a bbbext subplugin that extends or overrides BigBlueButton activity behaviour (settings form, instance persistence, completion rules, action URL parameters, meeting events, settings navigation, and view page override), and list the type in the plugin types index.

  • The test plugin link points to blindsidenetworks/moodle-bbbext_simple, but the public repository with this name is owned by call-learning, so the current URL is dead. Please update the owner so the promised isolated examples are reachable.
Minimal, single-purpose examples used to test the subplugin type — useful when you want to see one hook in isolation — can be found in the test subplugins developed alongside it, such as [moodle-bbbext_simple](https://github.com/blindsidenetworks/moodle-bbbext_simple).

$plugin->component = 'bbbext_example';
$plugin->version = 2025010100;
$plugin->requires = 2024100700; // Requires a Moodle version that ships the bbbext hooks you use.

## Reference implementation {/* #reference-implementation */}

For a complete, working example that exercises most of the hooks above — including the settings form, instance persistence with additional tables, action URL parameters, settings navigation, and a view page override — see the `bbbext_bnx` subplugin, which ships in the `extension/bnx` directory of [mod_bigbluebuttonbn](https://github.com/blindsidenetworks/moodle-mod_bigbluebuttonbn).
