1/ email notification when course requested
2/ course request capability so that we can limit who can request new course
3/ list of my pending course requests on the request form
Implemented in 1.9 by Petr Skoda, and reviewed and merged to HEAD by me.
* Note: this would never lead to problems with default role definions.
* Also ended up mostly rewriting delete_category_form to simplify the messages that are displayed.
* New helper function require_all_capabilities, a bit like require_any_capability.
1. If a user does not have that capability, don't let them change whether the course is visible.
2. Give teachers that capability by default.
3. To avoid regressions, on upgrade, give moodle/course:visibility to any role that has moodle/course:update.
Bugs: MDL-17479, MDL-16426, MDL-16063, MDL-16013, MDL-15658, MDL-15556, MDL-15161, MDL-14925, MDL-13742, MDL-11557.
* Simplify category editing permissions to just moodle/category:manage and moodle/category:seehiddencategories.
* Enforce those correctly. (Note MDL 17502 is still outstanding.)
* Don't screw up category sort order when you just edit name or description.
* Niceties like where redirects go when you cancel or submit forms.
* Make sure a global course creator can see the site admin block.
* Don't allow a category to be made the child of one of its children!
* General code cleanup to bring key files more in line with best pracitice.
Apologies for the fact it is one big patch, rather than a series of smaller patches. However, categoryedit.php, category.php and index.php where in pretty bad shape and needed significant cleaning up. categoryedit.php, in particular, was almost completely rewritten.
Merged from MOODLE_19_STABLE.
In the 1.9 branch this is controlled by a new option under Admin -> Experimental. In Moodle 2.0 dev it is not optional, it just works.
The main change is letting the manual grading report know which random questions might need manual grading. MDL-4004 - this depends on the random question under consideration, which requires a new questiontype method.
I also changed the random question code so that I could remove some global variables.
