Firstly, I'm replacing all use of old-style global variables like
$HTTY_REFERER with their new-style equivalent $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]
Also using $_POST instead $HTTP_POST_VARS etc
Secondly, if gdversion == 0 (ie GD is not installed) then:
- users are not even allowed to upload new images
- graphs now just print a message instead of failing.
this allows Moodle to still be used even if GD is not present
Basically all the Database functions are in lib/datalib.php
and the web functions are all in lib/weblib.php, so
moodlelib.php is much thinner than it was.
Data functions have been extended ... most old calls will
still work, but now many more SQL commands can be performed
using the datalib functions rather than using SQL. I'm
currently moving through the whole tree replacing SQL
calls or at least concentrating them in one section of
mod/xxx/lib.php
Still working on forums, quizzes, surveys, resources.
The tree is currently not full working ... some things are
half-completed ... will resume tomorrow.
exposes the wide array of authentication possibilities.
Authentication now has it's own page separate from other variables.
Most of this work was done by Petri Asikainen <paca@sci.fi>, who started
these changes off.
I've done some cleanups and additions which is why I'm checking it in.
It's all working pretty well at the moment but could use some testing.
Thanks, Petri! :-)
If you have existing quizzes, delete them all, then
drop all the quiz tables and delete the quiz line from
the modules table.
Things to do still:
- add/edit/remove categories
- display question feedback on submissions ...
- record the time they started the quiz, as well as the completion.
- place time limits between attempts
- add full specification of quiz open time and quiz close time
Changes to expand "open" option in forums. Now have a choice between
three options: new discussions and new replies, new replies only and
no new discussions or new replies.
Three new options in lang/forum.php and I changed "allowdiscussions".
pluggable modules in the 'auth' directory.
Everything is done through authentication_user_login in lib/moodlelib.php
As well as the old default "email" confirmation, I added a new type of
confirmation "none", which basically does no confirmation at all.
confirmation on deletions, removing deleted user from all student lists,
teacher lists and subscription lists and freeing up their username and
email to be used again.
modular (at slight cost to performance) and every modules can now
have a module_print_recent_activity() function. This function
takes a list of logs, searches for things to display and does so.
So far I've done forum and journal functions
