The $CFG->enabledashboard setting has been added to Appearance >
Navigation, to let admins disable the "Dashboard" option from the
primary navigation.
This commit also changes the behaviour of get_home_page(), to take
into account this setting and adds a new method, get_default_home_page(),
to return the expected default home page (that wil be used when current
default page is not defined or valid).
- There is now a single point for the configuration to be updated or
inserted into the DB.
- De-nestifying the code does make it longer to scroll through but you
can now edit areas of interest with more confidence, and should make
it easier to grok places of interest.
- Updated DB check from get_field to get_record as it's better in the
case of an update - using the id.
- Updates will happen on the ID field, which should be the primary key
for the table.
- Cache won't be invalidated if no changes were made.
- Property does not need to be checked for behat test if you are just
inserting a new value to an array using the arr[] = value syntax as it
should just work.
- Opted to replace array_key_exists with isset which is a faster check
due to it being a language construct and the fact that it should NOT
contain null values (as a null value would be removed) should mean
this is a safe change.
- Cleanup function param defaults.
- Prefer [] arrays instead of array() declarations.
For cache types which mean this information can be obtained without a
significant performance cost (i.e. just by calling strlen and not
having to serialize something that wasn't serialized already),
this change calculates the size of data read from or written to cache
in each request and includes it in the perfdebug table at bottom of
output (when that is turned on).
This supports the following cache types:
* File store
* Redis (only if caching is enabled)
Allows display_size to use a fixed unit for easy comparison of
multiple results, and fixed decimal places for the same reason.
Improves behaviour by using consistent decimal places and a
consistent space before the unit (the previous one only has a space
before 'bytes', not before 'KB').
Of existing uses, all the ones that displayed a 'maxbytes' type
configuration setting (which are likely to have an 'exact' size
and would be better shown as 512 KB rather than 512.0 KB) have been
changed to use 0 decimal places, to preserve previous behaviour.
All the uses which were showing an actual file or memory size have
been left as default (1 decimal place).
The `get_list_of_plugins()` function is used to fetch plugin-like files
or directories from a specified directory. A number of standard
exclusions are included but this list is not the same as the list in
`core_component`.
The list has been updated to include the `amd` directory, which is
regularly used in both components, and plugins.
Create a new profile field type, move all existing content of the fields
'icq', 'skype', 'aim', 'yahoo', 'msn' and 'url' in the mdl_user table to
theses new profile fields if needed.
AMOS BEGIN
MOV [aimid,core],[aimid,courseimage,profilefield_social]
MOV [yahooid,core],[yahooid,profilefield_social]
MOV [skypeid,core],[skypeid,profilefield_social]
MOV [icqnumber,core],[icqnumber,profilefield_social]
MOV [msnid,core],[msnid,profilefield_social]
MOV [webpage,core],[webpage,profilefield_social]
AMOS END
This class would belong more appropriately within the 'user' API
(core_user) instead of within the 'core' API, since it is
directly related to user data.
Since the class has only just been added to Moodle, now is a good
time to move it.
In all cases changes have been kept to a minimum while not making
the code completely horrible. For example, there are many instances
where it would probably be better to rewrite a query entirely, but
I have not done that (in order to reduce the risk of changes).
Switch the order of operations performed when collating list of paths
from which a user can include attachments.
First collect all normalised/absolute paths then filter empty entries,
which fixes an issue where $CFG->localrequestdir could be defined but
not exist. This would lead to an empty string being passed to strpos
which triggered a PHP warning.
