For a long time, Moodle has had the feature to force the language
for a whole course. This change adds the same feature at activity
level.
The course-level feature was controlled by a capability
moodle/course:setforcedlanguage, and I decided to use the same
capability to control this feature. I think a new capability would be
overkill.
Secondary nav previously had to be in my_plugin\local\views\secondary; this
location continues to work but is deprecated. The new location is
my_plugin\navigation\views\secondary.
The $extradetails parameter in the constructor of the
mod_feedback\output\summary class is no longer used by any of the codes
that instantiate the class. Therefore, it is removed.
The respective template is updated as well.
This class would belong more appropriately within the 'user' API
(core_user) instead of within the 'core' API, since it is
directly related to user data.
Since the class has only just been added to Moodle, now is a good
time to move it.
In all cases changes have been kept to a minimum while not making
the code completely horrible. For example, there are many instances
where it would probably be better to rewrite a query entirely, but
I have not done that (in order to reduce the risk of changes).
For example the dependecy chain is the following: A->B->C. When a
question (A) depends on another dependent item (B) and B hasn't
displayed (because of C's response), the $value for the B's response
will be null. In this case the can_see_item() method returned
null. Because the can_see_item() returned null (not false), the
get_pages() method displayed the question A, because it checks for
explicit false: $this->can_see_item($item) !== false.
Now, false is also returned, if the dependent question is not visible.
Update mod_feedback_core_calendar_provide_event_action function to add a new userid parameter
Add userid to check capabilities, etc. to feedback completion and structure.
Feedback code was doing the following, which is incompatible with the
sec-patched quickforms lib:
- appending '[0]' to non-group element names, meaning type checks in
getCleanType() were falling back to PARAM_RAW instead of PARAM_INT,
and meaning _findValue() was comparing elements it thought to be arrays
with scalar submit values (worked with eval() implementation as the 0th
element of a string was the character, but not working when patched).
- external unit tests incorrectly testing multichoice questions in the
process_page tests - patched lib highlighted failures.
It was also doing the following:
- actively setting null as default element values instead of 0 for
radio buttons and dropdowns (for 'not selected'). This is incompatible
with more recent quickforms lib (see MDL-63070).
- creating groups using addElement instead of addGroup - not recommended
This patch addresses the above.
The new recordset support for Postgres requires transactions and
will cause errors if recordsets are not closed correctly. This
commit fixes problems that were identified during unit tests, and
via some basic code analysis, across all core code. Most of these
are incorrect usage of recordset (forgetting to close them).
Increase the scope of the files that are detected and
indexed by Moodle's Global Search. This includes intro
and content areas of search areas. The use case here is
in a description for an activity there is a file added
that contains more information about the activity.
It would an advantage to be able to search this content
as well. It would also allow search engine plugins to be
able to index non text files such as images.
This was done for indicators, targets and time splitting methods so that we
can get the string identifier and component in order to display a help_icon.
The functions were also made abstract, removing the default implementation.
Indicators, targets and time splitting methods should define this function.
