Even if the site identifier is not defined in the source 1.9 backup then the
converted 2.0 version should still contain the element to prevent PHP
notices on direct assignment.
This applies to:
1. Upgrade from 1.9,
2. Import of questions exported from 1.9, and
3. Restore of courses backed-up from 1.9.
It also applies to the calculated question type.
The 'Show description' feature is about optionally including module description on the course page. This change include the necessary infrastructure - new database field, new FEATURE constant, changes to forms to display it, new language strings for it, backup and restore, and old course conversion. (I found the places to change by searching for an existing field in course_modules).
Documentation for the field is included in install.xml and in modinfolib.
During the restore, the section's sequence field is ignored and the
order of modules is controlled by the order of the <contents> activity
elements. This patch makes sure that the modules are listed in that
section in the right order.
Also, the patch removes the obsolete stash sectionidslist which was
introduced when the method get_stash_itemids() had not existed yet.
This helper class keeps the referenced ids to be dumped into the
inforef.xml files. For now, it uses a in-memory storage structures but
in the future we may refactor it so that it can use some persistent
storage (like converter's stashes).
We want to set migrated content file in the File module as a main file.
Main files are files with sortorder set to 1. Therefore the file manager
must provide a way to set the sortorder property of the new file record.
The second change allowing filepaths not ending with slash is a helper
as we can easily use dirname() as a value (see the usage in the next
commits). Not providing the dirname() was a bug as the reference to a
file in the HTML text did not respect the migrated file path.
Currently the underlying backup/restore code does not differentiate null
and empty array data. So we have to explicitly check that we got array,
even though the correct set_stash() was called.
