Several reports have been made about the unexpected purging of entire
memcached servers when MUC is configured to use Memcache and caches
get purged.
This is expected and occurs because the memcache extenions don't
provide isolated containers. Moodle data is stored along side any other
data in the cache and when caches get purged all data gets removed
whether it belongs to Moodle or not.
The docs cover this point and here I've added notes about this to both
config-dist.php and cache/README.md
Issues:
1. Fix setType calls
2. Changing from default to all and editing again, default is still selected.
3. Uncheck all options causes error.
4. Doesn't seem to be restricting based upon option.
5. Picked all and got coding error with the database thing.
6. Bad title: https://github.com/samhemelryk/moodle/commit/wip-MDL-37500-m25#L1R157
7. Amend comments - should only be removed once 2.5 is the minimum version for an upgrade.
8. Document the defaultsharing option.
Outcomes:
1. Fixed - copy paste error.
2. Fixed - mforms was applying the default value despite a value being provided. A quirk of elements with array names.
3. Fixed - validation now requires at least one option to be selected.
4. Fixed - issue rose from definitions not being re-parsed. cache/admin.php now reparses the first time a user visits the page.
5. Fixed - better purging of definitions when working with them anonymously. Unit test added.
6. Fixed - new string added and used.
7. Fixed - comments amended.
New issue to address parsing of definitions during upgrade.
New issue to add debugging notice if definition sets only one possible sharing option and that option is user input.
This change is a large change to the way sessions are handled
within MUC after it was discovered that session did not function
as expected when any store other than the default session store
was being used.
As part of this change the session loader has been largely
customised in order to consolidate session data for the loader.
The unit tests have also being greatly increased to provide
better coverage for sessions.
