This commit moves the presets subsystem to a location within the admin
folder, which is more appropriate given its purpose and reduces
developer frustration with tab completion of the admin directory.
The Flash Player was deprecated in 2017 and officially discontinued
on 31 December 2020, so media_swf player has been completely
removed from Moodle core.
Upgrade the support for Open Badges 2 to support a real open badges 2 backpack.
Moodle can only talk to one backpack at a time, so after switching backpacks, users
will have to manually disconnect and then reconnect their backpack to the new one.
This commit combines several changes:
* Split classes into badges namespace
* Publish expiry data with a badge
* Publish badge alignments in badges exported to the backpack.
* Export the criteria for a badge to the backpack.
The functionality of the \core_analytics\manager::add_builtin_models()
method is to be replaced with automatic update of models provided by the
core moodle component. There is no need to call this method explicitly
any more. Instead, adding new models will be done by updating the
lib/db/analytics.php file and bumping the core version.
All these functions were used only by deleted upgrade steps
so it's safe to proceed with straight deletion, considering
them internal. Deletion has been documented in corresponding
upgrade.txt files:
- upgrade_mimetypes()
- upgrade_fix_missing_root_folders_draft()
- upgrade_minmaxgrade() and upgrade_minmaxgradestepignored setting
- upgrade_course_tags()
- atto_equation_update_librarygroup4_setting()
- mod_lti_upgrade_custom_separator()
These have been kept because continue being used by restore:
- upgrade_group_members_only()
- upgrade_extra_credit_weightoverride()
- upgrade_calculated_grade_items()
When we adjust the weights in natural grading (setup screen), the extra credit items
should not depend on other overrides. If extra credit item's weight was overriden, it stays as it is.
Otherwise it is calculated as itemgrademax / totalgrademax (total excludes extra credit items)
- Fields added to format_legacy as default course format options;
- Upgrade script copies fields values from table course to course_format_options;
- Fields removed from table course;
- Fields removed from edit course form;
- Since front-page course has a 'numsections' setting, format_site defines it as it's option;
- Removed accessing those fields in core code unless we know that format supports them and in this
case instead of $course = $DB->get_record('course'); we use:
$course = course_get_format($courseorid)->get_course(); This way all format-specific options
are added to the $course object
