This feature adds an admin tool for creating custom licenses.
Now custom licenses can be added and amended in Moodle, and the site
default can be set to a custom license.
Core licenses remain hard-coded and are uneditable, so they will always
require update within Moodle core updates, and maintain their
internationalisation through core language strings.
This also includes fundamental changes to the license API including
the addition of license caching and deprecation of no longer required
admin settings for license management.
- Define sitepolicy handler manager class, base class and the core handler
- Allow to set a plugin as sitepolicyhandler that implements the sitepolicy API
- Modify web services to return information from the 3rd party handler instead of core if needed
This patch includes a big set of changes that are all designed to work together to provide
a better way to navigate in the new theme, and a different way of working with blocks.
Blocks have been moved to a "drawer" that can be opened and closed (this is remembered in a user pref).
A new "flat navigation" element is also available in a drawer - which should let you do 90% of things
without needing to open the "blocks" drawer.
The flat navigation is build from specific parts of the nav tree - the top nodes like "calendar, dashboard" are
hand picked. There is a mycourses node listing your enrolled courses.
There is a node for the current course, built from the top nodes in the current course node in the nav tree.
Administrators have a link to the Site admin settings here too.
These nav elements are used by the templates for the new theme, which also has a resigned layout for login and signup.
There have also been some additional fixes / improvements to the scss for the new theme which goes along with these
layout changes.
This set of changes is a collaboration between Martin, Damyon and Alberto (thanks!).
The badges feature allows to integrate Mozilla "Open Badges" to issue, assign,
manage and display digital badges in Moodle. This feature supports:
-- badge creation and issuing based on criteria
-- badge baking and verification service
-- direct pushing of internal badges to external backpack
-- interanl and external badge display in Moodle
-- Moodle block to display latest badges
* New Capability report put under Users -> Permissions
* Miscellaneous category renamed to Development
* Unit tests and Functional DB test moved to be under Development.
* The hard-coded hack that was used to change the permission that controls the Backups and stats reports replaced with settings.php files.
* There were two hidden Miscellaneous things in the old category, so I moved them. Multilan upgrade now under Lanuages, and Online assignment cleanup now under Plugins -> Activity modules. Both still hidden.
There was already a way for admin report plugins to control where they appeared in the tree, but it was not documented, so see http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Admin_reports
Yes, I know I changed an existing language string, which is supposed to be wrong, but I changed it so that the string 'plugin' is now 'Plugin'. I just cannot see that as a wrong change.
