- If we want to check fields 'numsections' or 'hiddensections' call course_get_format()->get_format_options()
- We still use extended course object in course/edit.php, update_course(), create_course(), and inside course formats
global_navigation::load_course_sections() now has more parameters and ensures
that current section and activity is loaded. This will allow course formats
to display hierarchical sections in navigation and have one callback for
overwriting whole course navigation
- Fields added to format_legacy as default course format options;
- Upgrade script copies fields values from table course to course_format_options;
- Fields removed from table course;
- Fields removed from edit course form;
- Since front-page course has a 'numsections' setting, format_site defines it as it's option;
- Removed accessing those fields in core code unless we know that format supports them and in this
case instead of $course = $DB->get_record('course'); we use:
$course = course_get_format($courseorid)->get_course(); This way all format-specific options
are added to the $course object
- added function get_module_types_names() returning the list of localised strings used for module names;
- added function cm_info::get_used_module_names();
- added magic properties cm_info:: and cm_info:: returning human readable module name;
- replaced usage of function get_all_mods() with get_fast_modinfo() and get_module_types_names();
- function print_section_add_menus() may now retrieve the modules names list itself;
- deprecated function get_all_mods()
- added class format_base as the base for all course formats
- added class format_site for the pseudo-format 'site' used for displaying activities on the front page
- added class format_legacy that overrides format_base functions with calling old-style 'callback_xxx' functions
- replaced all usage of 'callback_xxx' functions with format_base methods
- made arguments of get_section_name(), get_course_url() more flexible
- deprecated function get_generic_section_name(), it's contents is moved to format_base
- global_navigation::format_display_course_content() is removed, plugins can supress the sections navigations using extend_course_navigation()
Rather than overloading the $CFG->bloglevel setting which had a
confusing UI in the appearance subsystem.
In order to achieve this we modify take the defaults from the existing
bloglevel setting and set that for $CFG->enableblogs. Note that in order
to prevent a bad default settings from being set we also set
$CFG->bloglevel to a valid 'enabled' setting.

Fixed:
lib/db/upgrade.php - duplicate course->sectioncache add code
lib/db/install.xml - cleanup needed because xmldb editor was not used
lib/phpunit/classes/util.php - cleanup $GROUPLIB_CACHE on test reset
Credit: original version done by Kirill Astashov of NetSpot (netspot.com.au),
finished and tweaked by sam.
This change adds conditional availability support for sections analagous to
that already available for activities. (Backend, UI, backup/restore.)
In order that this feature does not reduce performance, section cacheing has
also been added using a new course 'sectioncache' field analagous to modinfo.
The new feature integrates with activity availability so that activities
inside sections which are not available are automatically not available
themselves (meaning it works to restrict access).
The idea is to not use inequalities in SQL queries for loading of courses in navigation because ti seems some SQL query optimiser have problems with that.
