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 $CFG->disableupdateautodeploy is set in config.php, no automatic
deploy can happen. This is for sites that are managed by a provider but
their clients have admin access.
This was reported in forums as an usability issue. This icon is used
across Moodle as an active link to hide or show things - not as a status
icon. People were trying to disable plugins by clicking the icon. Until
there is a full support for doing this from the Plugins overview page,
it is better to remove the icons completely.
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).
- If we want to check fields 'numsections' or 'hiddensections' call course_get_format()->get_format_options()
- We still use extended course object in course/edit.php, update_course(), create_course(), and inside course formats
- Fields added to format_legacy as default course format options;
- Upgrade script copies fields values from table course to course_format_options;
- Fields removed from table course;
- Fields removed from edit course form;
- Since front-page course has a 'numsections' setting, format_site defines it as it's option;
- Removed accessing those fields in core code unless we know that format supports them and in this
case instead of $course = $DB->get_record('course'); we use:
$course = course_get_format($courseorid)->get_course(); This way all format-specific options
are added to the $course object
Function add_mod_to_section() has very confusing arguments when object looks like record from
table course_modules but field ->section refers to relative section number (course_sections.section).
In table course_modules the field section refers to course_sections.id.
Also add_mod_to_section() does not update table course_modules and does not call rebuild_course_cache()
which developer can forget to do afterwards.
- Added function course_add_cm_to_section()
- In the core code add_mod_to_section() is replaced with course_add_cm_to_section()
- Function add_mod_to_section() is deprecated
