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.
1. If a user does not have that capability, don't let them change whether the course is visible.
2. Give teachers that capability by default.
3. To avoid regressions, on upgrade, give moodle/course:visibility to any role that has moodle/course:update.
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.
* New table role_context_levels
* Populate table with defaults on install
* Populate table on upgrade with the same defaults, plus any additional ones needed to ensure all the role assignments already in the database are allowed.
* Change get_assignable_roles to respect these settings.
* UI for these settings on the add/edit role form.
* Save these settings when a role definition is saved.
* If in a context, there are no roles you can assign, display a polite message.
* Back up these settings.
* Restore these settings. When resotring a <=1.9.x backup file, any newly imported roles are set to be assignable at all contextlevels.
Restore not tested because it is broken in HEAD.
This is an initial implementation that is now at a working state, but with a few things left to do. It seemed like a good idea to commit it before leaving work on Friday night.
