For a long time, Moodle has had the feature to force the language
for a whole course. This change adds the same feature at activity
level.
The course-level feature was controlled by a capability
moodle/course:setforcedlanguage, and I decided to use the same
capability to control this feature. I think a new capability would be
overkill.
As well as storing 1/0 to indicate hidden state, they are also used
to store a timestamp indicating hidden until date. Increasing field
size allows these values to be stored without triggering exceptions.
- Formatted the query to meet SQL coding styles
- Add index on {files} to prevent performance regression
- Fork the SQL query based on DB family based on support
This patch changes the way adhoc tasks are chosen to run. It now calculates
how many runners each type of adhoc task should be allowed to use. In the
case that not all the runners are utilised, it attempts to infer which
tasks do not take a long time to run, and gives those to the vacant runners.
Thanks to Brendan Heywood for guidance and SQL help.
Without this index, a full table scan / table level locking occurs when
logging out of Moodle. This can result in slow performance in a busy
Moodle site.
This commit will add the index for the question_reference
and the question_set_reference table if its not already
added. This commit will also implement the logic of adding
the question area and component in the joins of the question
reference table in order to make sure any other plugin using
the qbank api does not conflict with each other.
