The current group in verified on each page which prevents problems when group settings are changed. The default group for course level is now using correct grouping id which solves problems when activity and course are using different grouping. The grouping is now displayed in group selector if user has access to all groups.
The new HTMLPurifier finally caches the schema properly eliminating both extra CPU cycles and disk writes. The repeated dir exists tests might cause problems on NFS shares.
In case of upgrade from 1.9, the table filter_active does not exist yet.
There already was this checked at another place but it is needed to test
the table existence here as well.
This patch introduces new lib/pluginlib.php library that provides
unified access meta-information about all present plugin types. The
library defines plugin_manager singleton that in turn gathers
information about all present plugins and their status. The list of
plugins can be rendered either as plugins check table or plugins control
panel.
This makes print_plugins_table() function obsolete and because it is not
expected to be called by any contrib plugin, the function is removed.
CSS for the legacy table generated by print_plugins_table() is cleaned
up.
Internally, the new script modduplicate.php performs a single activity
backup and restore and then moves the newly created copy right below the
original.
The new class wraps some common coding patterns to install a language
pack via component_installer. Most notably it deals with the parental
dependency of the language packs.
The new class should also be the only place holding the information
about the location of language packs for the given Moodle version.
This allows profiling to be started earlier in the
setup.php execution, by configuring everything in
the config.php file. That way some interesting code
is also profiled, like DB connections, load of config records...
100% compatible with normal profiling and enabled via
special setting $CFG->earlyprofilingenabled
Example (to be put on config.php):
$CFG->earlyprofilingenabled = true;
$CFG->profilingautofrec = 3;
$CFG->profilingincluded = '/*';
$CFG->profilingallowme = true;
(to enable early profiling for 1/3 of any requests while also
allowing to use the PROFILEME PGC)
This includes refactoring to extract methods like sort_icon and show_hide_link which I think makes the code easier to read.
Note also the change to make_styles_string that makes it usable with html_writer. (Perhpas we need a css_writer classe ;-))
