View moodle course content somewhere else

Question

I have a special course (I know the id) , the artifacts of this course have to be displayed in some other part of my customized page.

I could do that by rendering the artifacts related to this course id from database tables like mdl_assignments, mdl_quiz etc.

But I want to know is there any inbuilt method to view the course content without any weekly/topic format.

I want just the artifact titles and the links to it

Note: I saw the code in course/view.php but it's little messed up.

I am using moodle 2.2

Thanks in adv.

Yes, there's a way. Enable webservices and use core_course_get_contents. Read this document to know how to do this: Using web services - Moodle Wiki.

Moreover, you could take a look to the method used by the web service, get_course_contents. You can read its implementation here: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/master/course/externallib.php#L61
