For a long time, Moodle has had the feature to force the language
for a whole course. This change adds the same feature at activity
level.
The course-level feature was controlled by a capability
moodle/course:setforcedlanguage, and I decided to use the same
capability to control this feature. I think a new capability would be
overkill.
The format chooser JS assumes that it is the only mform on the page. If
it is not, and another mform appears before it, then the jump will not
work.
This change:
* updates the formatchooser to modern JS
* allows multiple forms to exist on the page
* stops using id fields
* always hide the format selection button
Course category fields were changed en masse from simple select
elements to autocompletes in 93d72205, but weren't defined as
required fields. This could lead to exceptions and/or unexpected
behaviour if their values were cleared prior to form submission.
* When completion tracking is not enabled for the course, it does not
make sense for the course's showcompletionconditions setting to
be set according to the default value indicated by the
"moodlecourse | showcompletionconditions" admin setting. Setting
showcompletionconditions as enabled when completion tracking is disabled
makes even less sense. So in such a case, we should not be setting a
default value for showcompletionconditions and allow it to be null.
* When the course is edited and completion tracking is enabled, this
also would set the "Show completion conditions" field to default to the
value set in the "moodlecourse | showcompletionconditions" admin
setting.
This commit is part of work on Custom fields API,
to minimize commit history in moodle core the work of a team of developers was split
into several commits with different authors but the authorship of individual
lines of code may be different from the commit author.
- New site setting to define the default course duration (used to set
the default end date for some course formats)
- End date setting out of restore
- Fix tool_uploadcourse
- Other fixes here and there
1) Moved the calendar types location to a sub-folder in the calendar directory.
2) Removed/moved language strings.
3) Removed calendar types that should be downloaded as plugins.
4) Removed a Non-English language pack for the Gregorian calendar type that
should be downloaded separately.
5) Removed custom files responsible for checking for updates and uninstalling
calendar types, which should be done by core.
6) Removed JS from the calendar_month block as there is no non-JS alternative
provided and the JS written does not make use of the YUI library to ensure
multiple browser support.
7) Removed code from the base class responsible for creating timestamps that
are saved in the DB.
8) Added PHPDocs.
Note: In the original patch we are editing core functions responsible for saving
time in the database in the calendar base class. This is very dangerous, we do
not want to touch these functions as it could cause a complete fubar of the
database. There are places we are forcing the use of the gregorian calendar as
we are passing dates generated by the PHP date function, where as sometimes
we pass dates from usergetdate (which was being overwritten to return the
date specific to the calendar). We can not expect third party modules to
change the calendar type depending on the format they pass to these functions.
