It is useful, and possible, to update the display options without
restarting the question. You now only have to restart if you are
changing the maximum mark or the behaviour.
This patch makes Moodle call HTTP HEAD method via cURL to see if the ZIP
is expected to be downloadable by mdeploy.php. This is mainly intended
for SSL certificates check.
From now on, Moodle verifies the available updates provider server. To
make it work, either there must be a valid CA certificate available in
the operating system, or the administrator has to upload the valid CA
certificate to moodledata/moodleorgca.crt (PEM format) file manually.
It seems to be better to check for required permission later, when the
button to install the update is actually being displayed. Credit goes to
Dan Poltawski for suggesting this.
If the stored response has still 1.0 version (which is expected during
the upgrade to 2.4), a debugging message is displayed. Added a string to
explain what's going on and how to recover from the state.
This class represents the communication bridge from Moodle UI to the
(standalone) mdeploy.php utility. It consists of various helper methods
useful when dealing with user interface, update confirmation etc.
The class is implemented as a singleton. This allows us easily
transfer required data from top level scripts (like /admin/index.php)
into the rendering methods deep in the stack without the need to change
the API of many methods on the way.
The Notifications (admin/index.php) page has now information about
available updates for core and eventually plugins, too. Note that the
structure of the available updates array changed. This breaks backward
compatibility for eventual 3rd renderers out there (not expected
though).
- 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
