For legacy reasons, the course renderings uses a format setting to know
if the page is multiple sections per page or a single section per page.
This format specific dependency is not solved using a get_course_display
format method any plugin can extend.
global_navigation::load_course_sections() now has more parameters and ensures
that current section and activity is loaded. This will allow course formats
to display hierarchical sections in navigation and have one callback for
overwriting whole course navigation
- 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
- Course format may define additional fields (format options) to store for course and each section
- Edit course form allows to edit format-specific options and refreshes their list on format change
- Course format may provide it's own form for editing a section
- Default form for editing section allows to edit all format-specific fields
- Class section_info refactored, it defines magic methods such as __get() to access basic section
information and format-specific options (retrieved only on the first request)
- format_base::update_course_format_options() allows to watch pre-update state of the course,
format_legacy automatically copies the options with the same names between formats
- added class format_base as the base for all course formats
- added class format_site for the pseudo-format 'site' used for displaying activities on the front page
- added class format_legacy that overrides format_base functions with calling old-style 'callback_xxx' functions
- replaced all usage of 'callback_xxx' functions with format_base methods
- made arguments of get_section_name(), get_course_url() more flexible
- deprecated function get_generic_section_name(), it's contents is moved to format_base
- global_navigation::format_display_course_content() is removed, plugins can supress the sections navigations using extend_course_navigation()
