This is the initial deprecation of:
* plagiarism_save_form_elements
* plagiarism_get_form_elements_module
* plagiarism_plugin::get_form_elements_module
* plagiarism_plugin::save_form_elements
This just deletes all the upgrade steps previous to 3.5.0. Some
small adjustments, like tweaking globals can also be applied
when needed.
Also includes an upgrade step to prevent upgrading from any
version < 2018051700 (v3.5.0) as anti-cheating measure.
Previous commits have removed/deprecated all the upgradelib functions
not used anymore in codebase. Deletion has been documented in corresponding
upgrade.txt files:
- upgrade_fix_block_instance_configuration()
- upgrade_theme_is_from_family(), upgrade_find_theme_location()
and linkcoursesectionsupgradescriptwasrun setting
- upgrade_block_positions
- upgrade_fix_config_auth_plugin_names()
and upgrade_fix_config_auth_plugin_defaults()
- format_xxx_upgrade_remove_numsections(), format_xxx_upgrade_hide_extra_sections()
and format_xxx_upgrade_add_empty_sections()
- filter_mathjaxloader_upgrade_cdn_cloudflare()
and filter_mathjaxloader_upgrade_mathjaxconfig_equal()
- get_assignments_with_rescaled_null_grades()
These have been kept because continue being used by restore:
- \core\task\refresh_mod_calendar_events_task
The default value is an empty string (""), which in PHP evaluates to 0 when
cast to a string in our DML layer.
The fix is to forcibly make it null which is not cast to string in DML
for optional strings.
When some activities are manually completed by students, some are still showing in students' timeline.
This commit fix that for module assign,chat,choice,feedback,lesson,quiz,scorm and workshop.
Namely:
- 3rd param of assertEquals() cannot be null.
- Some incorrect uses of assertNotEmpty().
- Comparing 2 strings now uses strict (===) evaluation.

Solution here is one of:
a) Return to the previous situation, making the comparison
softer. That can achieved by forcing different types, so
float == string works.
b) Changing APIs (both forms and database return strings) to
perform some conversion to floats. That would make float
comparison (with floats or strings) to work too.
The patch here follows the a) approach. Changing all the internals
for proper float handling sounds excesive when it has been working
perfectly since ever. So we went the easier route, just getting
rid of the new === comparisons when needed by changing expectation
types to float.
