A new method, get_unaddable_by_theme_block_types(), has been added to
block_manager class to let themes define, using the unaddableblocks
theme setting, the blocks that won't be displayed in the "Add a block"
list.
For now, only the boost theme uses it, to disable some of the blocks,
like settings, navigation, course_list and section_links (they are still
required for classic).
Apart from adding the new get_enabled_plugin($pluginname) method to the
core_plugininfo\base class, and overwritting it for filter, a bug in
enable_plugin in filter, introduced in MDL-72720, has been fixed too.
The new get_safe_orderby() and get_safe_orderby_multiple() methods
provide a centralised safe way for user submitted sorting values to be
incorporated into SQL ORDER BY. They do this by removing the need for
user submitted data to pass in any SQL and not allowing arbitrary
column values, instead using string keys which map to a predefined
list of allowed sortable columns.
- new 'set_columns_attributes' method created to add column attributes included in every column cell.
- new 'get_row_cells_html' method created from 'get_row_html', so it can be overriden individually.
This also implements the functionality for SCORM packages, which may
have SVG images embedded within their content which require loading
directly (and are only created by users with appropriate risk flag).
This implementation will introduct changes to
the mod_quiz to implement the new qbank api
for view. Major changes are introduced in
the custom view and also all the legacy points
to the old qbank are changed to qbank plugins
where needed. It also deprecated and deletes
classes and scripts which were kept not to
break mod_quiz for the new api implementation.
Removes jQuery dependency from calling code that wants to listen
for these events. Maintains backwards compatibility with existing
code that does want to listen to jQuery-style events.
Allows display_size to use a fixed unit for easy comparison of
multiple results, and fixed decimal places for the same reason.
Improves behaviour by using consistent decimal places and a
consistent space before the unit (the previous one only has a space
before 'bytes', not before 'KB').
Of existing uses, all the ones that displayed a 'maxbytes' type
configuration setting (which are likely to have an 'exact' size
and would be better shown as 512 KB rather than 512.0 KB) have been
changed to use 0 decimal places, to preserve previous behaviour.
All the uses which were showing an actual file or memory size have
been left as default (1 decimal place).
The Flash Player was deprecated in 2017 and officially discontinued
on 31 December 2020, so media_swf player has been completely
removed from Moodle core.
As the message_jabber notification plugin has been removed from core,
the XMPPHP library (aka Jabber) is not required any more so it has
been completely removed from Moodle core too.
This implementation will introduce a qbank plugin "previewquestion"
which will view the preview question action in the question bank
actions by replacing the core classes, scripts and yui modules.
This plugin will also replace the preview option in the edit
question form. Having this plugin will give users the
flexibility of enabling or disabling this feature from
the question bank view.
This change will also allow other qbank plugins to add
elements or information in the preview question page
by implementing a callback. It also changes the pop
up to page redirect from base view page to make sure
any changes in preview reflects in the base view, for
example, comments added and the number of comments in
the comments colum changes while back from the preview
page. Other locations like edit and qtype plugins where
the preview is implemented, stays the same.
