Introducing both APIs in moodle along with:
- search_box widget to add a tiny search box
- admin settings with setup steps helper
- cache for search results
- template for a search result
- php unit stuff
Many thanks to Tomasz Muras, Prateek Sachan and Daniel Neis for their contributions, for starting this development
and for pushing for it to be completed. Also thanks to other contributors: Jonathan Harker and eugeneventer.
This commits removes stuff from different upgradelib files, used
exclusively by the already deleted upgrade steps. Given such
exclusivity it was not needed to proceed with a 2-phase deprecation
as far as the functions were 100% internal to upgrade.
This is the list of deleted functions, all them docummented in their
corresponding upgrade.txt files:
- repository_picasa_admin_upgrade_notification();
- repository_googledocs_admin_upgrade_notification();
- repository_boxnet_admin_upgrade_notification();
- repository_alfresco_admin_security_key_notice();
- qtype_essay_convert_to_html();
- portfolio_picasa_admin_upgrade_notification();
- portfolio_googledocs_admin_upgrade_notification();
- portfolio_boxnet_admin_upgrade_notification();
- mod_book_migrate_moddata_dir_to_legacy();
- mod_book_migrate_all_areas();
- mod_book_migrate_area();
- mod_assignment_pending_upgrades_notification();
- upgrade_mysql_fix_unsigned_and_lob_columns();
- upgrade_course_completion_remove_duplicates();
- upgrade_save_orphaned_questions();
- upgrade_rename_old_backup_files_using_shortname();
- upgrade_mssql_nvarcharmax();
- upgrade_mssql_varbinarymax();
- upgrade_fix_missing_root_folders();
- upgrade_course_modules_sequences();
- upgrade_grade_item_fix_sortorder();
- upgrade_availability_item();
This just deletes all the upgrade steps previous to 2.7.0. Some
small adjustments, like adding missing MOODLE_INTERNAL or tweaking
globals can also be applied when needed.
Next commit will get rid of/deprecate all the upgradelib functions
not used anymore in codebase.
The repository API defaults has a function, prepare_file, which is
responsible for creating a unique file to be used during the current
request.
This is usually used in the repository's get_file() function to store the
file before it is used elsewhere in the API to save the file to the
filestorage API.
It is also sometimes used to temporarily store credentials for the lifetime
of the session.
In all cases, this file is only expected to exist for the duration of the
session.
Switching to use of a per-request directory using make_request_directory()
ensures that the tempdir does not grow without control.
This commit also adds an upgrade step to remove all old temp directories
created by any repository currently installed.
