Previously we were using recess to build bootstrap base as it was what
was used by the original project. But recess is no longer maintained.
Now we use grunt for building js, it makes sense to use it for less too.
(If you really don't want to use grunt, you almost certainly can just
use lessc -x as it uses the same less.js on backend).
Fixed the issue where the file path select box goes beyond the
container with very long folder names. Instead of setting to
"width: auto", I set it the select box's "width: 100%" so that it will
just fill up its container's width.
Fixed the issue where markups are being shown on file aliases.
If there is an available archived zip with the version of the plugin
currently installed, we can use it to cancel/abort the upgrade of the
plugin. This is internally handled as the installation of the archived
zip and goes through all the validation and confirmation.
Additionally, some other parts were improved. Most notably, renderer no
longer decides itself if some installation can be cancelled but it
always asks the controller (plugin manager).
The button for installation was moved to the left so there should be
first buttons to add things, and then buttons to cancel things (which is
common in normal forms).
The new method core_plugin_manager::install_remote_plugins() will serve
as a backend for all the ways of installing ZIP packages from the moodle
plugins directory, such as installing new plugins (by clicking the
Install button in the plugins directory), installing available updates
(single and bulk mode) and installing missing dependencies (single and
bulk mode).
The method should be used both for validation pre-check screen and,
after the confirmation, for actual installation. Note that we
intentionally repeat the whole procedure after confirmation. Unzipping
plugins is cheap and fast and the ZIPs themselves are already available
in the \core\update\code_manager's cache.
We will need to add support for archiving existing code to prevent
accidental data-loss.
This basically provides what mdeploy.php was doing, but better. We now
have consistent way of installing all remote ZIP packages, always
validate them and we can perform bulk operations, too.
Set the cursor to a pointer for an active tab with a link to
indicate that the tab is still clickable, even though it is
active. See also MDL-46470 and MDL-51207.
Provides a bit more compact layout. Finally cleans up the relevant LESS
files and makes available updates info boxes consistent across all
screens where they are displayed.
The plugins check screen now provides buttons to cancel installation of
a plugin. Available only for new installations (not upgrades) and for
additional plugins (not standard), given that the web server process has
write access to the plugin folder.
This has also been reported as MDL-48535.
As a part of the patch, there is improved processing of page URLs during
the upgrade. All this dancing around $reload URL is not needed once the
$PAGE->url is properly set to guide the admin on the correct page during
the upgrade process.
The patch improves the dependencies resolution in the plugin manager so
that the information about availability of the missing dependency is
included and can be displayed at the Plugins check screen during the
upgrade.
The intention here is to make the table a little bit more compact (using
less columns) and to make use of the bootstrap based label elements if
available.
