Without this, its possible to get a document in the editpdf conversion queue
that keeps failing - and in some cases completely crashing the PHP script
despite exception handling - which ends up blocking the processing of the queue
entirely.
This change allows for a configurable number of attempts the conversion
task will perform before removing the item from the queue.
This will allow the use of other storage systems implemented
in plugins.
It also allows for disabling the built in DB based profiling, which
will be useful when using an external target to not waste DB storage.
The new setting will allow to host the temporary backup files
into a specific target directory. Defaults to '$CFG->tempdir/backup'.
Calling make_backup_temp_directory() checks that the required sub-directory
will be properly created under the new target directory.
If enabled $CFG->allowcohortthemes, then themes can be set at the cohort level.
This will affect all users with only one cohort or more than one but with the same theme.
The default theme order will be: course, category, session, user, cohort, site.
pgbouncer doesn't accept the PostgreSQL options command as it can't
process it. If you are using pgBouncer you need to make sure your
database is configured to set client encoding and standard_conforming_strings
correctly on each connection. pgBouncer can do this, as can ALTER
commands.
Also using sockets without a filename did not allow different ports to work.
This is because you either specify a filename which includes a port or
you just specify a port and libpq works out the correct socket location.
To support PHPUnit we need to support large profiles, these may
include backups and restores. To do that the following was required;
- gzcompress for database space saving.
- gzcompress for XML DomDocument field to say < 10Mb and allow imports.
- Save PHPUnit runs directly to a file so they can be imported to the normal database.
- Memory allowance on profiling view pages increases to support large profiles.
dirname() is a slow function compared with __DIR__ and using
'/../'. Moodle has a large number of legacy files that are included
each time a page loads and is not able to use an autoloader as it is
functional code. This allows those required includes to perform as
best as possible in this situation.
It is now possible to set up Redis as a session handler for Moodle.
Ensure that the phpredis extension is enabled and working on your sever.
Please place the following lines in config.php
$CFG->session_handler_class = '\core\session\redis';
$CFG->session_redis_save_path = 'tcp://127.0.0.1';
To determine if it has been set correctly, navigate to
$CFG->wwwroot/admin/phpinfo.php and find following the strings in the
session block,
session.save_handler = redis
session.save_path = tcp://127.0.0.1
This lets us convert between common office formats. E.g. docx -> pdf
html -> pdf, html -> ods.
This commit also updates assignment editpdf plugin to use this converter
on all compatible submission files.
This config will be supported to avoid broken configuration
in future. As this is limited, we need will still use
->behat_config to set config values which can't be set by
behat_profiles
When $CFG->divertallemailsto is specified, this allows a list of email
or domain exceptions to be whitelisted enabling easier testing by groups
of testers who don't share a single email address.
The admin setting updateautodeploy no longer exists. The two existing
config.php flags $CFG->disableupdateautodeploy and
$CFG->disableonclickaddoninstall merged into a single one.
The upgrade key can be defined in the main config.php as
$CFG->upgradekey. If it is defined there, then its value must be
provided every time the site is being upgraded, regardless the
administrator is logged in or not.
This adds functionality to create individual request directories which can
be only be used for the current request. They are removed by a shutdown
handler.
Both $CFG->logsql and $CFG->dblogerror had no use in moodle core
since ages ago (just the former had one use for nothing). Good time
to get rid of both as they are 100% misleading.
1. Create behat datadir within behat_dataroot not at same level
2. Define suffix for link and not use hard-coded values
3. Renamed ns_parallel to run.php
4. Rename variables to best understand them
5. Added support for each run to specify db, prefix, rerun and profile.
6. Showing number of steps in each line of parallel run.
