This commit:
a) moves modinfo code into new library modinfolib.php
b) uses classes instead of stdClass objects, allowing a huge amount of documentation (and IDE completion)
c) adds hooks so that plugins other than forum can display messages like forum's 'unread', and plugins other than label can display html (apart from/as well as their view.php link) on the course view page
d) removes current hacks for forum and label (mainly in print_section but also across the code), replacing with new 'content' and similar variables [this is the reason for the changes in blocks, etc]
e) reduces size of modinfo in database (only when rebuilt) by excluding empty fields
The change is intended to be backward compatible and does not affect the format of modinfo in database.
- Adds support for course report cron
- Moves existing admin report cron support to end of cron function
- Adds new core API get_plugin_list_with_function
note: default shipping course and admin reports do not use cron
function, this is only to support plugins.
Scripts that do not want buffered output just define NO_OUTPUT_BUFFERING before including config.php.
The fileserving code now checks if the headers are already sent which detects misconfigured servers.
internal means "uses password hash for user authentication", there is a new is_synchronised_with_external() method that indicates if moodle should automatically sync user info with external system after login; I have also improved the default for prevent_local_passwords() which is now defaulting to !is_internal()
As part of this patch I also introduced a new method in accesslib can_access_course that can be used
to check a users access to a course.
I also fixed a minor issue with guest access flag caching in require_login
There was a problem with properties $to, $ReplyTo and $error_count that
are now private. $error_count is accessible via public IsError() method.
For the other two, we needed them just because of post-processing charset
conversion. So I just made sure that the charset is converted before
the recipent and reply-to names are added to the PHPMailer.
Also, I do not instantiate Typo3 during every email if it is not needed
and I pass the character set to it in lower case now as stated in
textlib documentation.
It was always casting the result to an object, even when it was an empty array. I changed it to return null in this case. So that if (get_config('a_plugin')) { /* Do something relying on the pugin having config */ ) works.
