This new feature allows arbitrary text filters to be added to
any HTML that is printed (forum posts, resources etc) ... anything
that uses the standard format_text function.
The first one properly supported is the glossary dynamic linking
feature.
find images to insert into Richtext editor windows.
This hack was started by Janne Mikkonen, and I further refined it
to fit better into Moodle.
See: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=2126
1) Support for the new "label" module has been added. It's unfortunate
about having to make these exceptions but this was the overall cleanest
way I could think of.
2) All local calculation of pixpath and modpixpath has been removed and
replaced with a single calculation which is done in setup.php and
stored in $CFG->pixpath and #CFG->modpixpath. All graphics should
use these variables so that themes can easily override them.
OK, this is a big check-in with some big changes, and needs work still.
It seems relatively stable, but I need help identifying the rough patches.
1) First grading scales support. There is a now a new table called "scale"
that contains grading scales. There can be site scales (course=0) and
custom course scales. These can be used in modules - I've only done
forums for now but that was the hard one. Scales can be edited via
the new item in the course admin menu.
There is one default scale - the connected/separate knowing one that used
to be in forum. To build this I pull data from the language packs
to create one during the upgrade, or anytime a scales menu is called
and no scales are found.
2) New roles for course creator and teachers. I've fixed up the course
menus and some other things but there's a lot left to do on this to
make it all smooth. The idea is that teachers no longer can edit courses
unless they are also course creators. The interface for this needs to
be smoothed out a fair bit and I need help with this.
The upgrade will upgrade all teachers to be creators, but will default
the new site config "creatornewcourses" to "no", so that effectively
these new teachers have the same privileges.
3) Simplified teacher management. There is no longer an "assign teachers"
and a "teacher roles" page - it's all on one page in course/teacher.html.
Phew ... time for a shower and then back into it.
