Also, part of the change from weblib.php functions to $OUTPUT-> methods.
This is part of http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Theme_engines_for_Moodle%3F
This is a big change, and the result is not perfect yet. Expect some debugging output
on some pages.
The main part of these changes are that $OUTPUT->header now looks for a file
in the theme called layout.php, rather than header.html and footer.html. Also
you can have special templates for certain pages like layout-home.php. There is
fallback code for Moodle 1.9 themes, so they still work.
A few of the old arguments to print_header are no longer supported. (You get an
exception if you try to use them.) Sam H will be cleaning those up.
All the weblib functions that have been replaced with $OUTPUT-> have version in
deprecatedlib, so existing code will go on working for the foreseeable future.
This is for those situations where something basically impossible happens,
like $context->contextlevel not having one of the valid value, and you
want to throw an exception (for example in the default: case of a switch)
rather than just ignoring the possibility.
This was a Google Summer of Code 2007 Project.
This introduces two new files, admin/cliupgrader.php and lib/installlib.php.
It also introduces a new PEAR library, Console_GetOpt. I have recieved permission from the upstream author to include this in GPL Moodle (essentially dual license it) - notes in lib/pear.
Most stuff that outputs html during install gets suppressed by the use of a constant.
Run the script like php admin/cliupgrade.php --help for info.
Note that this all uses strings from install/ rather than lang, so I have updated stringnames.txt accordingly and they'll all be broken until the cronjob that generates them runs.
We now have a wrapper memcached support class to handle
initial connection setup, provide the common denominator
calls, plus getforfill() and friends.
The eaccelerator class now returns false to match memcached. The
downside of this is that we cannot store booleans as a false value
is indistinguishable from a false that indicates error or 'key not
found'.
Make pconnections optional - only use pconnect if $CFG->memcachedpconn is
set. In current versions of the memcache client in PECL (v2.0.1),
memcache_pconnect() is buggy and will segfault if reusing a pconnection
to a server that has gone away or restarted.
And hope for a more stable client library in PECL ;-)
$MCACHE is initially based on core API that is shared between memcached and
turckmmcache/eaccelerator. The core operations are add(), set() and delete()
This initial implementation uses the PECL-based PHP client. Would be trivial
to add support for a PHP-based client.
The $MCACHE facility can be used for DB cache, text filters cache, and possibly
for sessions.
