This new feature allows arbitrary text filters to be added to
any HTML that is printed (forum posts, resources etc) ... anything
that uses the standard format_text function.
The first one properly supported is the glossary dynamic linking
feature.
find images to insert into Richtext editor windows.
This hack was started by Janne Mikkonen, and I further refined it
to fit better into Moodle.
See: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=2126
1) There is a new site-wide configuration variable called maxbytes,
which provides an upper filesize limit for all (student) uploads.
2) There is a new course-level variable called maxbytes, which further
limits uploads within a course.
3) There is a new maxbytes field for forums, which further restricts
the size allowed in a particular forum. There is also a new config
variable in the module configuration to specify a default size
to use when defining a new forum.
4) Assignments already had a limit, but this is now aware of the other
limits, and like forums there is now a settable default value.
5) Finally, the sizes of files (Gb, Mb, Kb, bytes) is now translatable
in the language packs.
so it can be translated.
There is now a new function get_list_of_countries() which will return a
sorted array of countries in the best current language.
get_string("AU", "countries") will also work if needed
that tells us how far to indent the activity when it is displayed.
This gives us some more flexibility on the course outline to
arrange things as we might like them, into subtopics etc
Backup/restore is updated as well.
There is also a bit more robustness in course/mod.php
1) Support for the new "label" module has been added. It's unfortunate
about having to make these exceptions but this was the overall cleanest
way I could think of.
2) All local calculation of pixpath and modpixpath has been removed and
replaced with a single calculation which is done in setup.php and
stored in $CFG->pixpath and #CFG->modpixpath. All graphics should
use these variables so that themes can easily override them.
- small numbers of courses (less than 8) are displayed in full,
unless the creator or admin is editing.
- course counts are now accurate when all courses are removed from
a category
