Not sure if the hotpot module is converting ampersands correctly. $heading and $title are set up differently than in other modules: instead of outputting $course->title, a temporary $title variable is created and assigned that value. That made it difficult for me to decide whether it was already formatted elsewhere or not.
Also I didn't format_string() any of the variables included in $navigation rings, because I assume these strings get processed by print_navigation(), which includes format_string().
The API was changed slightly so that has_capability now takes the
whole $context object (we almost always have it anyway)
The $kill thing was removed. If you want to assert a capability
then use:
require_capability('capname', $context);
with optional variables to modify the error message
Misc bugs here and there also removed and code tidied
=======================================
WARNING: DEV IS CURRENTLY VERY UNSTABLE.
This is a mega-checkin of the new Roles system. A lot of changes have
been made in core and modules.
Currently there are a lot of rough edges and known problems. We are
working hard on these .. .the reason for getting this into HEAD at this
stage is enable us to move faster (our branch was diverging from HEAD
too much).
Please keep an eye on http://docs.moodle.org/en/Roles for current status
and information for developers on how to use the new Roles system.
and admins can approve or reject pending courses.
Also, contains the ability to restrict activity modules on a per course basic. Strict config options:
enable restricting modules at ALL (for all courses, no courses, requested courses), what to do by default for newly created courses
as well as what modules to enable for above category by default.
This feature was created for the aim of building a community side to moodle - for institutes that have strict courses and enrolments, allowing normal users to request interest courses is a good feature,
but some modules may be redundant (assignment, lesson, quiz etc)
Please test!
It's very early (it doesn't actually do anything yet!) but you can
define groups and get an idea of how the interface is shaping up.
I also wanted to show that I have actually done something on this! :-)
From here my plan is to add group support to the modules, one by one
(forums first), then go back and clean up some of the central interfaces,
graphics etc.
Finally, test, test, test and get 1.2 out well before the end of February.
