This code was used only by deleted upgrade steps so it's safe
to proceed with straight deletion, considering it internal.
Deletion has been documented in corresponding upgrade.txt files:
- \mod_forum\task\refresh_forum_post_counts adhoc task
And these is the list of code that has NOT been removed
because it may be needed in the future:
- \core_search\manager::clean_up_non_existing_area(), used by
- adhoc task: \core\task\clean_up_deleted_search_area_task adhoc task
This issue is a followup for changes made in forum. And hence
addresses the following issues spotted for forum:
1. Bring back the "Forums" header in the search page.
2. Remove the stale function forum_update_subscriptions_button
3. Fix the redirection to activity tab when subscription is
changed, in the subscription tab.
Pass current user object to post builder as argument, so that the permission to view timed post
will check with current user, who is viewing the posts instead of user who made that post.
The chunk size used by the existing post word/char count calculation
ad-hoc task can now be set as a $CFG parameter. Also improved the way
the ad-hoc task is re-queued and tidied up some redundant code.
This commit mimics 100% the behavior achieved with the
parent commit of this when using the advance option.
1) Rename the 'tohtml' option to 'topreferredformat' to better
represent what it's doing.
2) Always honor the preferred format (this is a new post).
3) Only perform the conversion to HTML when the preferred format is
HTML.
That way any user, no matter thy are using format MOODLE (plain textbox),
MARKDOWN (marklar editor) or HTML (atto and tinymce editor) will
get always the format correct and the contents ready to be edited if
desired. HTML ones converted to HTML and TEXT ones unmodified.
While keeping BC as possible (format will be saved as FORMAT_HTML
as default and content not modified), this commit includes these
changes:
- A new parameter 'messageformat', defaults to FORMAT_HTML.
- A new option 'tohtml', enabling the function to convert content
in other formats to FORMAT_HTML before saving them.
This patch adds new capabilities:
'mod/forum:postprivatereply' - whether a user is able to post private replies; and
'mod/forum:readprivatereplies' - whether a user is able to read private replies.
Private replies are only visible to the intended recipient (the author of
the parent post), the author of the private reply, and those with the
ability to read private replies.
If a post is private then it cannot be replied to further.
This commit reduces boilerplate code.
It also forces WS returning files to always return the following
fields: filename, filepath, mimetype, filesize, timemodified and
fileurl.
Commit for MDL-29663 that renames the FORUM_TRACKING_ON constant
to FORUM_TRACKING_FORCED to allow easier and more consistant reading.
FORUM_TRACKING_ON retained but marked depreciated.
