form /lib/weblib.php. It's been decided that the minimum requirements for the
database module will be 1.5.3+ stable. Will commit updates to the above two
functions to 1.5.3+ stable once they have been tested on stable.
the HTMLArea editor in the template views. This is not currently working in
source code mode of the editor.
Added equivalent of use_html_editor() and print_editor_config() from
/lib/weblib.php to textarea field class. We use a copy in that class instead of
calling the functions in /lib/weblib.php because we want the data module to be
compatible with Moodle 1.5. This is not ideal, but it is a necessary evil.
Updated the textarea field class to use the correct path to
/lib/editor/htmlarea/htmlarea.php.
Removed hard coded message strings from scripts and moved them to the language file.
Fixed a display bug in multimenu field.
Removed rounded help buttons from fields, made the fields use html title to
display the descriptions instead.
generated properly.
Updated /mod/data/fields.php - deletion of a field now also deletes
data_contents and any files associated as well.
Add/update/delete fields - template now gets updates in the following cases:
1) Deletion: remove template tags for the field from all templates
2) Edit: search and replace template tags for the field in all templates
3) Add: append template tag for field into the signe and rss templates, but
only if these templates are not empty. Otherwise we'd rather the user uses the
automatic template generation facility, which produces better display.
Fixed bug for empty muti menu and multi checkbox fields.
Added "Choose..." as first item in single selection menu. Added relevant
string in en language.
Updated /mod/data/lib.php, function store_data_content() so that we store
empty content for fields too.
Updated following fields so that they do not pack data into
data_content.content, but use data_content.content, data_content.content1,
etc:
- URL field
- File field
- Picture field
Note that above changes to the way data is stored means that the new
implementation is not compatible with previous version.
Updated textarea field. Added relevant help messages. Added richtext editor
support. Removed ability to restrict allowed formats for the textarea field.
Misc bug fixes and display tweaks.
Finally, we have an early version good enough for everyone to
start banging on to help us polish it up and find bugs.
Please take a look and file bugs in the bug tracker under "Database module".
We urgently need
- new icons for existing field types
- testing on PostgreSQL install
Coming soon (?):
- Many more field types: calculation, checkbox, relation, date, datetime,
time, email, group, list, user, number, richtext
(Please let us know if you are interested in developing any of these)
- A way to save and restore "presets", which are field/template sets
- Backup/Restore support
- Groups Support
- RSS support
Many thanks to Yu for all the hard work under my whip.
