Now these are saved in a new table called course_display,
each user and each course can have independent settings.
I'm intending to expand this table later for all the other
course display stuff (like hidden topics etc)
Course creators are managed by /admin/creator.php , same way that admins.
Or if authetication module have 'auth_iscreator'-function (right now only ldap-module have) ,
users are added to creators at login time.
Moodle tables.
ie user -> userid in many tables, plus in user_students
start -> starttime and end -> endtime
I've just done all this as carefully as I could ... I don't think
I missed anything but it's pretty intensive work and I'd be fooling myself
if I didn't think I'd missed a couple.
Note that this version should pretty much be able to bootstrap itself
using PostgreSQL now ... but this is untested
Basically all the Database functions are in lib/datalib.php
and the web functions are all in lib/weblib.php, so
moodlelib.php is much thinner than it was.
Data functions have been extended ... most old calls will
still work, but now many more SQL commands can be performed
using the datalib functions rather than using SQL. I'm
currently moving through the whole tree replacing SQL
calls or at least concentrating them in one section of
mod/xxx/lib.php
Still working on forums, quizzes, surveys, resources.
The tree is currently not full working ... some things are
half-completed ... will resume tomorrow.
in a course. Firstly, the course settings page now allows the teachers
to specify the word they want to use in place of "teachers" and "students"
as well as "teacher" and "student". Secondly, a new teacher admin tool
allows any teacher to modify the order and displayed role of teachers
in that course. This affects the display on the course listings, the
participants page and so on.
Sections covers "weeks", "topics" and anything else that may come along.
Note, again, some databases have changed esp course_weeks -> course_sections
and several fields called "week" are now "section. Also course no longer
has an enddate, but instead has a numsections field.
