Backward compatibility is maintained, i.e. you can restore ANY version
backups without problems in 1.5. When "adding backup data to an existing
course", no blocks are added. I 'm not sure what the correct behavior
would be in this case.
When restoring a backup from Moodle <= 1.2, the new course SHOULD be given
default blocks when it is restored. I have not actually tested this, my
tests were with version 1.3 and 1.4 backup format.
Now both type of links (slasharguments on and off) are
detected in the backup process. And the restore process
take care of the slasharguments seting in destination
and translate all the links to the correct format.
I think it's really a nice addition, ;-)
Ready to 1.3.3 bump!!!
Bug 1634

Merged from MOODLE_13_STABLE
section->summary
user->description
are properly transformed if, in their contents, there was some
file.php call.

that the link doesn't belong to the course being restored, then
the original link is mantained.
With this, the backup/restore should be finished. Now some
tests to check everything !!
Solve an important issue about scheduled backups not working properly
when encoding links...
Added support for event->visible in backup & restore.
TODO: Add wwwroot to backup/restore to use it when decoding.
Change the system to encode forum calls.
All the conversion to some pseudo-codes are done at backup time.
In the restore process, every link is decoded to new ids.
For now, this is supported:
- In backup:
-all links to forums are encoded.
- In restore:
- all links to forums are decoded.
- from forums (post->message).
- from resources (resource->alltext).
The process requires a backup made with the same version (because it
has to be properly encoded at backup time). Old backups will work
without conversions at all.
Only tested with some little courses.
It would be perfect to have some "big" course to test it.
Please, test and feedback, ciao :-)
Integrated with Moodle:
- Install automatically.
- Update course->blockinfo for each course at installation time.
- Modified course creation to insert into blockinfo field.
- Modified restore to insert into blockinfo field.
- Admin options (hide, show, delete, config) from admin page.
- Lang strings inserted (en only).
- Database support to mysql and postgresql (not tested!!).
Moodle, backup and block versions updated to 2004041800.
Tested with mysql: Install fresh and upgrade from previous.
section_activities block renamed to social_activities and created
its own lang file to support name "Social Activities". This can
be changed at any time.
TODO:
=====
Support it really in backup/restore.
