MDL-45847 resort: Add more course sorting options
Add descending sort options and course timecreated sort options.
Includes behat and unit test changes.
This reverses the references used for global $USER and $SESSION,
the reason is that PHP does not allow references to references.
$USER is a reference to $GLOBALS['USER'] which means we cannot
put any references to it. Solution is to store the current user and session
objects in $GLOBALS['USER'] and $GLOBALS['SESSIOn'] are reference
them in $_SESSION.
This patch makes the session code behave the same way in CLI,
phpunit and normal web requests - this allows use to finally
unit test most aspects of the session code in Moodle.
user_updated event was being triggred while
setting password, which is not correct. It now
trigger user_password_updated event. Few more
modifications done:
1. Correct event is being triggred.
2. Event is only triggred when password is chnaged.
3. Password is updated via single api.
4. Updated unit test
Four core library classes renamed for autoloading with deprecated stubs
have been converted to the new scheme for autoloading.
They are:
* textlib
* collatorlib
* plugin_manager
* plugininfo_base
These will be removed in 2.9 by MDL-46124
In several places we only want to output a certain bit of HTML (e.g. the
contents on the mod chooser) once per page.
This used to be done with a static variable in the function, which
meant the logic was once per PHP-script execution, not once-per-page.
Now there is a new bit of API in page_requirements_manager to handle
this properly.
When different ID's are set for each sequence a number
of unit test failures appear. They have been corrected
to allow unit tests to pass with the new generator in place.
This patch includes following fixes:
- messages may be now sent when database transactions active
- consistent return status on failure from message_send(), false is
returned only when message not created in message(_read)? table,
processor failure results in debugging message only and messages
are not marked as read
- message_sent is triggered always with id from message table
- logic for marking messages as viewed was standardised
- message_viewed event is triggered consistently
- improved performance when fetching user preferences
- full unit tests coverage for send_message() function
- fixed multiple other smaller issues discovered by unit tests
Remove errors when attempting to delete non-empty directories when
child directories do not get removed since the mtime was updated when
files were removed from the child directory.
Invalid CSS with extra } symbols, which previously (by fluke)
worked, was broken by recent chunking improvements. This change
makes the chunking code robust against this (stupid) situation.
