Course format API has been changed significantly. Instead of implementing callbacks course formats
|
|
|
|
|
may overwrite the class format_base. See format_legacy class for a template for upgrading course
|
|

=== 2.3 ===
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The new $course->coursedisplay option was introduced, users can now choose to display
|
|
|
|
|
a section at a time if the course formats support it:
|
|
|
|
|
- COURSE_DISPLAY_SINGLEPAGE indicates the teacher has chosen to display all sections on one page
|
|
|
|
|
- COURSE_DISPLAY_MULTIPAGE indicates the teacher has chose to have seperate pages with each section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The parameter for 'currently active section' was standardised in core:
|
|
|
|
|
- The course format is passed the currently live section through the $displaysection varaible to format.php
|
|
|
|
|
- A 'section' paramter is the standardised way to pass around the current section in a course
|
|
|
|
|
- Navigation no longer looks for custom parameters defined in callback_format_request_key
|
