The new method core_plugin_manager::install_remote_plugins() will serve
as a backend for all the ways of installing ZIP packages from the moodle
plugins directory, such as installing new plugins (by clicking the
Install button in the plugins directory), installing available updates
(single and bulk mode) and installing missing dependencies (single and
bulk mode).
The method should be used both for validation pre-check screen and,
after the confirmation, for actual installation. Note that we
intentionally repeat the whole procedure after confirmation. Unzipping
plugins is cheap and fast and the ZIPs themselves are already available
in the \core\update\code_manager's cache.
We will need to add support for archiving existing code to prevent
accidental data-loss.
This basically provides what mdeploy.php was doing, but better. We now
have consistent way of installing all remote ZIP packages, always
validate them and we can perform bulk operations, too.
Provides a bit more compact layout. Finally cleans up the relevant LESS
files and makes available updates info boxes consistent across all
screens where they are displayed.
The plugins check screen now provides buttons to cancel installation of
a plugin. Available only for new installations (not upgrades) and for
additional plugins (not standard), given that the web server process has
write access to the plugin folder.
This has also been reported as MDL-48535.
As a part of the patch, there is improved processing of page URLs during
the upgrade. All this dancing around $reload URL is not needed once the
$PAGE->url is properly set to guide the admin on the correct page during
the upgrade process.
The patch improves the dependencies resolution in the plugin manager so
that the information about availability of the missing dependency is
included and can be displayed at the Plugins check screen during the
upgrade.
The intention here is to make the table a little bit more compact (using
less columns) and to make use of the bootstrap based label elements if
available.
Creates a new method of handling all the section related icons.
Including a new method that places these actions in a menu for topic and
weeks course formats. (This version replaces "Edit" with "Topic/Week/or
Section menu")
Updated the help text on the theme settings page to
mention that the theme logo will only be displayed on
the front page and login page.
Conflicts:
theme/upgrade.txt
The logo for the clean and more themes will only be
displayed on the front page and login page as it was
replacing the header information on other pages within
Moodle, causing users to lose information on the page.
