Better performance, more reliable, completely self contained,
more validation and full backwards compatibility.
This will also allow us to implement ignoring of plugins.
- created renderable object tabtree that represents the tree of tabs, extends tabobject
- created core_renderer::tabtree(), and supporting core_renderer::render_tabtree(), core_renderer::render_tabobject()
- change print_tabs() to use renderer function, deprecate supporting not needed functions
GD PHP extension is now required. Add-ons need to remove $CFG->gdversion tests. The worst case regression is that add-on will think GD is not available.
Switching between categories view and edit no longer depend on global editing mode
/course/index.php and /course/category.php do not contain editing code
Instead of repeating code all over the place because the original function delete_course_module only partially deletes data, we now place all the functionality needed to delete a module here.
- 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()
Function add_mod_to_section() has very confusing arguments when object looks like record from
table course_modules but field ->section refers to relative section number (course_sections.section).
In table course_modules the field section refers to course_sections.id.
Also add_mod_to_section() does not update table course_modules and does not call rebuild_course_cache()
which developer can forget to do afterwards.
- Added function course_add_cm_to_section()
- In the core code add_mod_to_section() is replaced with course_add_cm_to_section()
- Function add_mod_to_section() is deprecated
- 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()
