A new implementation for print_object automatically prevents infinite
recursion, and allows users to choose which classes to expand. When
in web view, it defaults to a pretty-printed output using Bootstrap
classes.
Calling \core_user\fields::get_sql() incerements a static uniqueid
variable. This should be called only once and not make a separate call
for the sort mapping data as it doing so will result to an incorrect
table alias for the sort mapping data.
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.
The new get_safe_orderby() and get_safe_orderby_multiple() methods
provide a centralised safe way for user submitted sorting values to be
incorporated into SQL ORDER BY. They do this by removing the need for
user submitted data to pass in any SQL and not allowing arbitrary
column values, instead using string keys which map to a predefined
list of allowed sortable columns.
This change removes references in code and comments to a few
deprecated functions that were accidentally missed in the larger
change.
The code changes only affect service_users.php. I made it support
custom user profile fields in this query, because it was easy
enough, rather than adding another TODO to fix later.
This class would belong more appropriately within the 'user' API
(core_user) instead of within the 'core' API, since it is
directly related to user data.
Since the class has only just been added to Moodle, now is a good
time to move it.
In all cases changes have been kept to a minimum while not making
the code completely horrible. For example, there are many instances
where it would probably be better to rewrite a query entirely, but
I have not done that (in order to reduce the risk of changes).
it is quite often when we need to have an autocomplete element that searches courses that
have completion enabled. This commit adds an option for the 'course' form element, and also
changes two places where we search for courses with completion. This should fix MDL-58989
Some grade object (outcomes,scales) can be created at site or course
context, so this patch just makes sure we use the respective context
when applying format_string to the name in the get_name() function.
This is useful because config_logs are sent via logstores, and we may be interested to know how
many people change a particular admin setting across many sites (aggregated data).
This is a squashed commit containing a number of changes:
This is an ajax driven course selector that has searching etc. It can select single, or multiple courses.
Make course selector accept a list of courses to exclude
courseselector - lookup coursename on setValue
Use the get_course_display_name_in_list function to generate the course names
Add a throttle to auto-complete to reduce spamming the server
Do a single query to fetch all the courses in the mform element when validation fails
Fix core course search function to return results when there are less than 2 chars in the query.
Handle setData with an empty array in new course selector
This patch replaces all homegrown timezone
stuff with standard PHP date/time code.
The main change is the introduction of core_date
class that returns normalised user and server
timezones. From now on nobody should be using
$CFG->timezone or $user->timezone directly!
Other new features and fixes:
* admins are prompted for timezone during install
* editing of other users is finally fixed
* timezones are displayed in user profile
* new $this->setTimezone() in phpunit
* time locale is now automatically reset in phpunit
* timezone is now automatically reset in phpunit
* phpunit has Australia/Perth as default timezone
* Upgrades existing data so that the groupmembersonly option is
replaced with equivalent data for the new availability API.
* Removes the database field and admin setting used for
groupmembersonly.
* Changes core modinfo library to remove/deprecate groupmembersonly
data and functions.
* Changes other core library files to remove groupmembersonly
references.
Includes deprecation of several functions, listed in lib/upgrade.txt.
Changes core code to use new API instead of the old one when
checking user access to activities and sections.
Includes changes to other libraries that are necessary after
adding the availability system and removing old conditional tables
etc.
List of changes:
* New OOP API using PHP namespace \core\session\.
* All handlers now update the sessions table consistently.
* Experimental DB session support in Oracle.
* Full support for session file handler (filesystem locking required).
* New option for alternative session directory.
* Official memcached session handler support.
* Workaround for memcached version with non-functional gc.
* Improved security - forced session id regeneration.
* Improved compatibility with recent PHP releases.
* Fixed borked CSS during install in debug mode.
* Switched to file based sessions in new installs.
* DB session setting disappears if DB does not support sessions.
* DB session setting disappears if session handler specified in config.php.
* Fast purging of sessions used in request only.
* No legacy distinction - file, database and memcached support the same functionality.
* Session handler name included in performance info.
* Fixed user_loggedin and user_loggedout event triggering.
* Other minor bugfixing and improvements.
* Fixed database session segfault if MUC disposed before $DB.
Limitations:
* Session access time is now updated right after session start.
* Support for $CFG->sessionlockloggedinonly was removed.
* First request does not update userid in sessions table.
* The timeouts may break badly if server hosting forces PHP.ini session settings.
* The session GC is a lot slower, we do not rely on external session timeouts.
* There cannot be any hooks triggered at the session write time.
* File and memcached handlers do not support session lock acquire timeouts.
* Some low level PHP session functions can not be used directly in Moodle code.
This is intended as a revision counter for local modinfo caching. It should be a lot more reliable and faster than doing it in PHP. Please note you need to invalidate all course caches after using this.
