Course creators are managed by /admin/creator.php , same way that admins.
Or if authetication module have 'auth_iscreator'-function (right now only ldap-module have) ,
users are added to creators at login time.
Firstly, I'm replacing all use of old-style global variables like
$HTTY_REFERER with their new-style equivalent $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]
Also using $_POST instead $HTTP_POST_VARS etc
Secondly, if gdversion == 0 (ie GD is not installed) then:
- users are not even allowed to upload new images
- graphs now just print a message instead of failing.
this allows Moodle to still be used even if GD is not present
Moodle tables.
ie user -> userid in many tables, plus in user_students
start -> starttime and end -> endtime
I've just done all this as carefully as I could ... I don't think
I missed anything but it's pretty intensive work and I'd be fooling myself
if I didn't think I'd missed a couple.
Note that this version should pretty much be able to bootstrap itself
using PostgreSQL now ... but this is untested
Basically all the Database functions are in lib/datalib.php
and the web functions are all in lib/weblib.php, so
moodlelib.php is much thinner than it was.
Data functions have been extended ... most old calls will
still work, but now many more SQL commands can be performed
using the datalib functions rather than using SQL. I'm
currently moving through the whole tree replacing SQL
calls or at least concentrating them in one section of
mod/xxx/lib.php
Still working on forums, quizzes, surveys, resources.
The tree is currently not full working ... some things are
half-completed ... will resume tomorrow.
THIS IS A BIG CHANGE!
I've renamed the "reading" module to "resource".
This meant changing quite a few references throughout Moodle.
The automatic upgrade process should work OK (it worked OK on my
development server) and there shouldn't be any problems.
BUT PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION AND KEEP BACKUPS OF EVERYTHING
UNTIL I HAVE A FEW MORE TESTS! If you upgrade please let me know.
One thing that will break are any hard-coded links within forum messages.
What I will be doing to fix this on my apache server is to add this to
httpd.conf:
Redirect /mod/reading/ http://moodle.com/mod/resource/
Sorry about any inconvenience, but it's better this is done sooner than later.
