General backup/restore does not need to handle external data sources natively - so
any changes needed to achieve this should be contained to the plugin that needs it.
Using standard subplugin support, this commits implements
the restore of logstore subplugins in general and the
standard logstore is particular. Notes:
- TODO: Decide about these 2 pending issues:
1) Some logs are already created (events fired) by the restore process itself. Every time
an API is used and it fires events... corresponding (and actual!)
logs are created. We need to prevent restore to duplicate them (or,
alternatively, stop firing events when restore is happening).
2) There are 2 pieces of information in the logs that, right now, can
not be restored, because the process does not know enough to be able
to remap that information to its new counterparts. We are talking
about objectid and other columns. So we need to specify, in some way
understandable by restore, to which existing mappings they correspond
to.
Using standard subplugin support, this commit implements
the backup of logstore subplugins in general and the
standard logstore in particular. Notes:
- Uses a custom final element (base64_encode_final_element) to
support the storage of serialized 'other' information in logs.
- Organization: Instead of directly extending backup_subplugin,
every logstore extends backup_tool_log_logstore_subplugin just
in case any shared code is needed in the future.
- Implements both course and activity logs, sharing the structure
completely (both are based in contextid to pick the target
information, from database or whatever other logstores use).
In order to implement the backup and restore of log stores, that
are created as subplugins of the tool_log plugin , we need to
extend subplugins support from activities to virtually any plugin.
Basically that implies moving the add_subplugin_structure() method from
its current, restricted, activity level to general restore_structure_step.
This commit implements the change in restore, covered with tests verifying
old, bc behavior and also new, general one.

When we adjust the weights in natural grading (setup screen), the extra credit items
should not depend on other overrides. If extra credit item's weight was overriden, it stays as it is.
Otherwise it is calculated as itemgrademax / totalgrademax (total excludes extra credit items)
In order to prevent changes in the existing grades when we fix bugs
we are introducing the gradebook code versioning. Each course may
"freeze" the code version to the older date. Freezing is usually done
during upgrade or restore and can be removed by the teacher by pressing
the button and accepting potential grade changes. There is no visible
setting and not possible to change the version back manually.
See MDL-50432 and MDL-50522
version = planned 2015051100 release version
requires= current 2015050500 rc1 version
Note: On purpose, the course format social wrong version (2015102100)
has been kept unmodified. Looking forward a solution right now.
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
