This means for places in Moodle that are going to write a file, like a
CSV file, they can set the intended mimetype of the generated file.
Previously you had to use a stored_file object.
This also gets rid of portfolio_fake_add_url function and replaces the
data module implementation with a button. I also refactored
portfolio_add_button::to_html to use moodle_url so it's easy to return
the same parameters to hidden form fields, an escaped url (for a link),
and a non escaped url (to redirect to, which is what the data module
does)
This commit includes:
- leap2a portfolio format, and xml writer
- proof of concept implementation in forum and assignment modules
- a lot of refactoring of the portfolio formats in general:
- addition of "abstract" formats - this is necessary for plugins to be able to support groups of formats
- addition of the idea of portfolio formats conflicting with eachother - eg richhtml & plainhtml
it touches modules other than assignment and forum, because the format api
changed and now each place in moodle that exports portfolio content has to deal
with the formats it supports slightly differently.
At the moment the Mahara portfolio still doesn't support this format, because I
haven't done the Mahara side yet. The "file download" plugin supports it
though.
Still todo:
- Add support for the other places in Moodle (glossary, data, etc)
- Write tests, once the rest of the portfolio tests have been updated to use the new DB mocking stuff
- Fix a bunch of TODOs
added two new contract methods to the caller class, load_data and expected_callbackargs (static)
this means that the base class is the only place that needs a constructor
and that no data loading happens in the constructor
this in turn means we can check callback argument validity much more lightly
also completely remoted portfolio_add_button function and replaced with a class
as the argument list was getting out of control. it's now much more readable.
Especially as some of the functions shared by base classes (portfolio plugin vs caller) were the same
it was getting a bit unweildy to have all this in one file.
