In PHP 8.2 and later, setting a value to an undeclared class property is
deprecated and emits a deprecation notice.
So we need to add missing class properties that still need to be declared.
This code was used only by deleted upgrade steps so it's safe
to proceed with straight deletion, considering it internal.
Deletion has been documented in corresponding upgrade.txt files:
- \mod_forum\task\refresh_forum_post_counts adhoc task
And these is the list of code that has NOT been removed
because it may be needed in the future:
- \core_search\manager::clean_up_non_existing_area(), used by
- adhoc task: \core\task\clean_up_deleted_search_area_task adhoc task
Before this change if a new post was made after the digest time but
before todays daily digest had been sent the run time on the digest
would be set to the next day resulting in no digest being sent to
the user.
By adding the server midnight to the custom data on the task we
ensure that in this case a new adhoc task is created for the next
day leaving the current one to get processed.
Server midnight is used so that if the digest time setting is
changed we would not get two tasks queued for the same day.
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
The chunk size used by the existing post word/char count calculation
ad-hoc task can now be set as a $CFG parameter. Also improved the way
the ad-hoc task is re-queued and tidied up some redundant code.
The adhoc task run during upgrade will now be requeued until no more
word/char counts require updating. Previously it was only run once,
so only the first 5000 posts would be updated.
Note that this is a very basic conversion without doing any refactoring
to split the tasks up better. That will come in MDL-44734, this is about
being a safe backportable change to give admins better control over the
running of the forum cron task.
