for user field locking and forcing of password changing
- Locked user fields always apply (for any authentication method).
Currently these can only be defined in the LDAP auth screen
but later these can be brought out as part of the generic
interface for defining user fields and their behaviour.
- Fields are now locked using Javascript and will work for any
user fields that exist (list is not hard coded anymore).
- Admins can always edit locked fields.
- Admins can always force a password change. The checkbox reflects
the current status of this, and the admin can UNSET the checkbox
if they want. It is no longer necessary for the admin to change
the old password for this to take effect, either.

Keywords:
so it can be translated.
There is now a new function get_list_of_countries() which will return a
sorted array of countries in the best current language.
get_string("AU", "countries") will also work if needed
This includes some significant cleanups to the new course categories
system. The basic idea is that the categories/course browser is now
unified under one system, and admin features related to that have
all been moved into the browser (as little icons).
I'm much happier with this as a foundation that can scale and be
built upon.
Still to go:
- searching
- paging
- polishing
Also in here are a lot of little cleanups around the place, such as
the initial setup process.
Hopefully this is also the end of the occasional errors we keep
hearing about to do with never getting to setup the admin user.
(I think admin/site.php had a redirect that didn't always work).
The setup process is now much better at "trapping" you until it's all done.
- they could break accounts in existing installations
- strtolower can corrupt strings in multibyte languages
Is it really a problem that usernames are case sensitive on PostgreSQL?
When using authentication module (ldap, smb, pop etc...) and postgres-database multiple moodle
users were created for usernames like 'Username' 'username' 'userName'
Firstly, I'm replacing all use of old-style global variables like
$HTTY_REFERER with their new-style equivalent $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]
Also using $_POST instead $HTTP_POST_VARS etc
Secondly, if gdversion == 0 (ie GD is not installed) then:
- users are not even allowed to upload new images
- graphs now just print a message instead of failing.
this allows Moodle to still be used even if GD is not present
Should be fixed now. As a bonus, I've removed all the uses of
HTTP_POST_VARS from all scripts.
All forms should use the new data_submitted() function to collect
form data (it does the match_referer thing internally now).
Much nicer.
