Added new sessioncookiedomain setting to session handling section.
* allows you to change the domain that the Moodle cookies are available
from. This is useful for Moodle customisations (i.e. Squirrelmail SSO
or enrolment plugins) that need to share Moodle session information
with a web application on another subdomain.
* Will NOT work if the moodle host does not have a domain - i.e. just a
hostname, e.g. 'localhost' or 'myhostname'. Needs a FQDN
* Currently the setting is set to PARAM_TEXT length 50 since PARAM_HOST
does not allow a leading dot e.g. '.mydomain.com'
* TODO: do we make up a new PARAM_COOKIEDOMAIN which is the same as
PARAM_HOST but allows leading dots? Using PARAM_HOST and prepending a
dot may not always be desirable.
That was becuase not enough information was being passed in for the blocks editing controls to construct the right URL to reload the page.
It is also now possible for admin external pages to add some UI next to the turn blocks editing on/off button. For example, when you are editing the list of course catgories, the turn editing off button is now in the right place.
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.
Define is a stronger verb than manage, and most of the things there are to do with defining roles. I keep finding myself looking for 'Define roles' in the menu when I am testing, which suggests changing the working in 1.9 does more harm than good.
* Rewrite all the forms to use formslib and improve usability.
* Put the place where admins need to go to process approvals in the admin menu.
* Show the request course/pending requests button on the page for the category that requested courses get added to.
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.
* Move the show/hide advanced button a bit down the page.
* Improve save button caption when creating a role.
* Don't show defaults on the basic define roles screen.
* Explain the background shading on the advanced roels screen.
* Fix the problem with the risks link to Moodle docs.
* Help icon by the permissions column heading.
* Tables with rotated <th>s, make them vertical-align: bottom.
* Rename explain.php and explainhascapability.php to check.php and explain.php
* Tool tips on the number headers in the explain table.
* Explain table - role names were missing.
* Allow link_to_popup_window to work with full URLs.
I have made them float right, and reduced the padding on the red box, so they don't cuause the height of the form to change so much, if the error fits to the right of the form control. I realise that some people may not like this, which I why I have done this in head only for now. I will revert this if told to.
