In the default course settings, setting the maximum number topics / weeks to 0 would not
change the default number of sections on the same page as any other number would.
A more appropriate check has been put in place.
This also incorporates a fix for MDL-28584. The course edit screen now also checks to see
if maxsections is set or numeric. If it is not set or numeric then it defaults to 52.
- added function format_base::is_section_current()
- overwritten in format_weeks::is_section_current()
- deprecated function format_section_renderer_base::is_section_current()
- Added functions in class format_base
- Added global functions in course/lib.php
- Added calling of course header/footer functions to the base theme
- output renderer checks if theme calls the coures content header/footer functions, if not calls them explicitly and displays a development warning
- Added functions in class format_base
- Added global functions in course/lib.php
- Added calling of course header/footer functions to the base theme
- output renderer checks if theme calls the coures content header/footer functions, if not calls them explicitly and displays a development warning
global_navigation::load_course_sections() now has more parameters and ensures
that current section and activity is loaded. This will allow course formats
to display hierarchical sections in navigation and have one callback for
overwriting whole course navigation
- Fields added to format_legacy as default course format options;
- Upgrade script copies fields values from table course to course_format_options;
- Fields removed from table course;
- Fields removed from edit course form;
- Since front-page course has a 'numsections' setting, format_site defines it as it's option;
- Removed accessing those fields in core code unless we know that format supports them and in this
case instead of $course = $DB->get_record('course'); we use:
$course = course_get_format($courseorid)->get_course(); This way all format-specific options
are added to the $course object
- Course format may define additional fields (format options) to store for course and each section
- Edit course form allows to edit format-specific options and refreshes their list on format change
- Course format may provide it's own form for editing a section
- Default form for editing section allows to edit all format-specific fields
- Class section_info refactored, it defines magic methods such as __get() to access basic section
information and format-specific options (retrieved only on the first request)
- format_base::update_course_format_options() allows to watch pre-update state of the course,
format_legacy automatically copies the options with the same names between formats
- Avoid using field course_sections.sequence for retrieving the modules list, use functionality from
get_fast_modinfo() instead;
- In the following functions/methods mark arguments $mod, $modnames, $modnamesused and $sections as
not used because they can be taken any time from get_fast_modinfo():
- function print_section()
- protected function format_section_renderer_base::section_summary()
- private function format_section_renderer_base::section_activity_summary
- public function format_section_renderer_base::print_single_section_page
- public function format_section_renderer_base::print_multiple_section_page
- 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()
- 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()
