Extra fields dictionary v1

This page provides a dictionary of the available extra fields usable in Chamilo 1.*.

Extra fields are a feature of Chamilo that allows the Chamilo administrator to extend the data stored with some of the important resources of Chamilo (users, courses, learning paths, quizzes, etc). You can find a list of all resources that have extra fields enabled by going to your Administration page -> Platform -> Extra fields.

The intention is for this page to be exhaustive, but please note:

• that they are only all available in the latest of the v1.* versions
• that they sometimes require the activation of a plugin to provide any useful feature/behaviour
• that they might disappear or be abandonned over time
• that they might get integrated into more "solid" table in later major versions (this is why this is a list for v1.* only)
