Legacy items have no id and so can not be favourited nor
recommended. We needed a way to easily determine whether to show
these features in the templates.
For the initial rewrite of the activity chooser we had some
temporary functions to make everything work. These have been replaced
with different functions and so these functions are now being removed.
Returns all content items which are provided by the plugin, irrespective
of whether or not a user can see an item in a particular course. This is
used to generate a global list of content items, allowing for admin
level features to be added.
This involves a few changes:
- The callback is still called by the repository but only if the
replacement callback get_course_content_items is not implemented.
- Debugging is called when the get_shortcuts callback is called.
- We leave lti's implementation of get_shortcuts alone, in order to
maintain the output of get_module_metadata during its deprecation life
span.
A repository object which caches results for a user and course. This
allows this repository to be called many time in a single request - a
pattern we expect when objects of this type replace the existing
get_module_metadata() method.
Add a read-only repository, which returns the list of content items
which can be added to a course. This class does not handle access
control nor user-related data pertaining to to core content_items.
This will be handled in a future commit in any calling code using
the repositories.
Plugins have always been able to return either a string or a lang string
when implementing the hook, 'get_shortcuts'. Since content_items will
be the replacement for that stdClass implementation, we need a way
for plugins to continue to have this flexibility. This just provides
a small contract and some classes that plugins can use in future.
We are already cleaning all sort of caches, statics, singletons
there and it's better to ensure they are always reset to avoid
myterious failures @ distance.
This is intended to visually separate hidden course from open
courses in the course overview block
by applying a "Hidden from students" tag to the various views in
this block.
To achive this, the course summary exporter's output must be
augmented with a "visiblity" attribute,
carrying the given course's corresponding visibility setting.
Since the exporter now expects this data point as part of its input,
the output of the course_get_recent_courses()
function had to also be augmented with the course visibility setting
to provide this value.
