This patch includes a big set of changes that are all designed to work together to provide
a better way to navigate in the new theme, and a different way of working with blocks.
Blocks have been moved to a "drawer" that can be opened and closed (this is remembered in a user pref).
A new "flat navigation" element is also available in a drawer - which should let you do 90% of things
without needing to open the "blocks" drawer.
The flat navigation is build from specific parts of the nav tree - the top nodes like "calendar, dashboard" are
hand picked. There is a mycourses node listing your enrolled courses.
There is a node for the current course, built from the top nodes in the current course node in the nav tree.
Administrators have a link to the Site admin settings here too.
These nav elements are used by the templates for the new theme, which also has a resigned layout for login and signup.
There have also been some additional fixes / improvements to the scss for the new theme which goes along with these
layout changes.
This set of changes is a collaboration between Martin, Damyon and Alberto (thanks!).
The problem here was that user/index.php checks the system level
capability moodle/site:viewparticipants when the user is on the front
page, and the moodle/course:viewparticipants on non-front pages.
But the navigation displayed the link by mistake even in situations,
when the user has the capability moodle/course:viewparticipants on the
front page (typically when the default role for the front page is set to
student).
Added behat tests for reproducing the bug and also for checking the
basic functionality of the feature.
- Created a "Course preferences" for user preference. This
is where "activity chooser off/on" option is moved.
- Changed the lib/navigationlib.php to have a new user preference
section, which is "Course preferences".
- Removed the "activity chooser" toggle codes in javascript.
Introducing both APIs in moodle along with:
- search_box widget to add a tiny search box
- admin settings with setup steps helper
- cache for search results
- template for a search result
- php unit stuff
Many thanks to Tomasz Muras, Prateek Sachan and Daniel Neis for their contributions, for starting this development
and for pushing for it to be completed. Also thanks to other contributors: Jonathan Harker and eugeneventer.
The course navigation was getting duplicate nodes because
it was loading the nav tree plugin functions twice. Once
specifically for the reports and then a second time more generally.
The code will now explicitly skip loading the report plugin
functions on the second load.
also remove the code that adds a "return to XXX user" link that was
supposed to be removed in MDL-23911 , otherwise the link would become
visible after the bug fix (but not functional).
