Course date registration data reports correctly.
MDL-77306 added a count of how many courses there are
without start and end dates. However, all courses have
a start date, it is only the end date that is optional.
This patch fixes the data collection and makes the lang
string describing it clearer.
Adding LIMIT to the primary auth type SQL statement does not play well
with Oracle. We can just remove the LIMIT clause from the SQL statement
and and pass IGNORE_MULTIPLE to the call to $DB->get_field_sql()
instead.
Add the DB type, count of courses with start or end dates set,
default site theme, and primary auth type statistics to those
collected as part of the site registration data.
Unregistered sites will now display registration form to admins
after every core upgrade. Non core upgrades will not trigger the
form.
Registration form will not show for sites that are not set to
public.
Normal removal procedure:
- Remove the plugin completely from core.
- Document it in the webservices upgrade.txt file.
- Add a core upgrade step to proceed to remove any configuration
if the plugin has not been re-installed manually.
Plus:
- Remove a few remaining uses in the hub/sites registration scripts,
that were moved from xmlrpc to hand.made rest calls by MDL-31436
(Moodle 3.4.1 and up) and never removed then.
- Remove the php-xmlrpc extension as a recommendation in composer.
- Remove "xmlrpc" from various comments, trivial cleanup.
Note:
- While working on this MDL-76078 has been created about to
fix a serious design problem detected (it does not affect
functionality). That's out from this issue scope.
There are some changes to make this possible:
- Enable by default the Mobile notifications plugin
- Implement a new callback for core -> plugins communication
- Generate an Airnotifier access key in the callback when needed
This is an update of the site registration admin page and some relevant
backend code to remove the mentions of moodle.net.
AMOS BEGIN
CPY [registerwithmoodleorg,core_admin],[registerwithmoodleorg,core_hub]
AMOS END
Site indicators shared with the registration hub used to have the hub
URL in the relevant setting names - such as site_name_httpsmoodlenet.
This upgrade step converts all such settings and drops the URL suffix
because we do not support alternative hubs any more.
Additionally the upgrade step renames the official hub and updates its
URL so that existing registrations with https://moodle.net are still
valid.
Rumor has it that some browsers may truncate the GET request to 2000 characters,
make sure that all important info is sent first
Everything else will be updated on the first registration update request.
The new setting will allow to host the temporary backup files
into a specific target directory. Defaults to '$CFG->tempdir/backup'.
Calling make_backup_temp_directory() checks that the required sub-directory
will be properly created under the new target directory.
Support for alternative hubs will be removed in 3.4
We can move all methods working with registration, course publishing and moodle.net
communication into separate namespace
