We cannot deliver notifications to users who had subscribed to a forum
or discussion and were later inactivated either by suspending or setting
the auth method to nologin. The deliver adhoc task cannot be run as
these users, throwing the "Suspended account" exception.
The solution is to make sure that fetch_subscribed_users() does not
include those inactive users.
The background is for set up, the scenario is for the test. Logging in
to start the test is the start of the test and the end of the background
itself.
This commit mimics 100% the behavior achieved with the
parent commit of this when using the advance option.
1) Rename the 'tohtml' option to 'topreferredformat' to better
represent what it's doing.
2) Always honor the preferred format (this is a new post).
3) Only perform the conversion to HTML when the preferred format is
HTML.
That way any user, no matter thy are using format MOODLE (plain textbox),
MARKDOWN (marklar editor) or HTML (atto and tinymce editor) will
get always the format correct and the contents ready to be edited if
desired. HTML ones converted to HTML and TEXT ones unmodified.
1) Always honor the preferred format (this is a new post).
2) Only perform the conversion to HTML when the preferred format is
HTML.
This way, users having HTML as format (because of their editor
preference) will get the inline-reply converted to HTML and the
editor displayed.
And users not having HTML as format (because of their edito preference)
will get the format set to their format (PLAIN, MOODLE or MARKDOWN) with the
contents unmodified. Of course, if anybody is using a PLAIN, MOODLE or
MARKDOWN editor... it will be displayed.
The messageformat and tohtml params have been added to the addDiscussionPost
method to send the original format the contents are written and to force
to convert them from "messageformat" to HTML.
While keeping BC as possible (format will be saved as FORMAT_HTML
as default and content not modified), this commit includes these
changes:
- A new parameter 'messageformat', defaults to FORMAT_HTML.
- A new option 'tohtml', enabling the function to convert content
in other formats to FORMAT_HTML before saving them.
Since the night of the times (MDL-16698) we have been performing
that simple empty($post->messageformat) check to decide if the
preferred editor format should be used, instead of any existing format.
Problem is that FORMAT_MOODLE == 0, so the condition evaluates
to to true and then the preferred editor takes the baton when it should
not. Exiting format must win always!
So this just makes the condition a little better, checking if the
attribute is set and that it's numerical (accepting both n and 'n').
That covers the FORMAT_MOODLE case and any other valid format. Only if the
conditions aren't met the preferred editor format takes the baton. Only
then.
