This commit affects mostly qtypes. Other standard components either do not have pluginfile handler or have been already updated to the new API.

This files describes API changes for question type plugins.
|
|
|
|
=== 2.3 ===
|
|
|
|
* Support for backwards-compatible string names dropped. MDL-30120. (See under 2.2 below.)
|
|
* If you are overriding export_to_xml and import_from_xml to provide Moodle XML format
|
|
import and export, then you will probably get PHP strict syntax notices in developer
|
|
debug mode until you change the method signature to include qformat_xml $format.
|
|
That is, you need to specify the argument type.
|
|
* qtype_xxx_pluginfile() is now given the 7th parameter (hopefully the last
|
|
one) that contains additional options for the file serving. The array should
|
|
be re-passed to question_pluginfile() as is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== 2.2 ===
|
|
|
|
* The XML import/export base class has had some minor API changes. The
|
|
- write_combined_feedback method now requires that you pass the questionid and
|
|
contextid. (MDL-29058)
|
|
- calls to the import_hints and import_answer methods now should pass the question
|
|
text format as the last argument, to be used as a default if necessary. (MDL-29739)
|
|
If you do not upgrade your code, it will not break, but there will be PHP
|
|
warnings, and it the export will not work 100% correctly.
|
|
|
|
* The old
|
|
public function requires_qtypes()
|
|
method is no more. Instead use the ->dependencies facility in version.php. E.g.
|
|
$plugin->dependencies = array(
|
|
'qtype_numerical' => 2011102700,
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
* The plugin name and related strings used to be defined in language strings
|
|
called the same thing as the format, for example:
|
|
|
|
$string['addingdescription'] = 'Adding a Description';
|
|
$string['description'] = 'Description';
|
|
$string['description_help'] = 'A description is not really a question type. It simply enables text to be displayed without requiring any answers, similar to a label on the course page.
|
|
$string['description_link'] = 'A description is not really a question type. It simply enables text to be displayed without requiring any answers, similar to a label on the course page.
|
|
$string['descriptionsummary'] = 'This is not actually a question. Instead it is a way to add some instructions, rubric or other content to the activity. This is similar to the way that labels can be used to add content to the course page.';
|
|
$string['editingdescription'] = 'Editing a Description';
|
|
|
|
All these need to be changed to use the standard string name pluginname, as for
|
|
other plugin types, and similar for the other strings.
|
|
|
|
$string['pluginname'] = 'Description';
|
|
$string['pluginname_help'] = 'A description is not really a question type. It simply enables text to be displayed without requiring any answers, similar to a label on the course page.
|
|
$string['pluginname_link'] = 'A description is not really a question type. It simply enables text to be displayed without requiring any answers, similar to a label on the course page.
|
|
$string['pluginnameadding'] = 'Adding a Description';
|
|
$string['pluginnameediting'] = 'Editing a Description';
|
|
$string['pluginnamesummary'] = 'This is not actually a question. Instead it is a way to add some instructions, rubric or other content to the activity. This is similar to the way that labels can be used to add content to the course page.';
|
|
|
|
The old strings will continue to work, but only until Moodle 2.3 is released.
|
|
|
|
* If you are using the facilities provided by overriding the extra_answer_fields
|
|
or questionid_column_name methods, then you must change these to be public
|
|
methods. (This is required so that backup and restore can be made to work
|
|
automatically. MDL-24408, MDL-25617, MDL-30562)
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== 2.1 ===
|
|
|
|
* Lots of API changes due to the new question engine. See
|
|
http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Developing_a_Question_Type#Converting_a_Moodle_2.0_question_type
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== 2.0 ===
|
|
|
|
* Lots of changes due to all the API changes in Moodle 2.0.
|
|
|
|
* This plugin type now supports cron in the standard way. If required, Create a
|
|
lib.php file containing
|
|
function qtype_mypluginname_cron() {};
