Per the previous commit, default homepage configuration (set either
for the site or as a user preference) can now be extended by third
party hook callbacks, in which case a URL is stored.
MDL-78806 core: Remove redundant site name on page titles
* With the site name now being appended to the page titles, there
is no need to manually append the page titles.
Fixes the site home secondary nav, so that nodes added by plugins
implementing the PLUGIN_extend_navigation_frontpage callback can be
displayed for users who don't have the 'course:update' capability.
This change comprises:
- Removed course:update capability checks from site home (index.php)
and from the secondary nav view. This isn't needed since the nav is
capability aware.
- Fixed the initialisation of the secondary nav for the frontpage
course, removing erroneous duplicate 'home' nodes. The nav is now only
shown if there are nodes to display.
The "Start page" user preferences page has been reviewed to
consider the new $CFG->enabledashboard setting.
The "Dashboard" won't be displayed in the list if it's disabled.
Besides, the default value is now calculated calling the new
get_default_home_page() method.
There should never be any exceptional hacks like this for any particular
plugin. The hub sites can make use of a wide range of other and cleaner
mechanisms - such as a custom theme or the customfrontpageinclude
directive - to implement a customized front page.
Plus, we've dropped support for alternative hubs anyway.
When the default home page is set by user preference the site home
blocks are gone.
This is caused because the page layout is not correctly set before
manipulating the navigation block (the base layout it is used instead).
I have added a JS module to handle skiplinks to send
the focus to the end of the block. This improves the function
and allows the user to better tab through the page.
- Make sure that items in course settings (and frontpage settings) are shown depending on user capabilities
- Make sure user is able to turn editing on on the page even if he has only limited number of seciton/modules managing capabilities
- 'List of courses' is split into 'List of courses' (available) and 'Enrolled courses', CFG->disablemycourses is deprecated;
- CFG->frontpageloggedin by default shows list of available courses;
- There is separate item to display course search box
- CFG->maxcoursesincombo is deprecated
- CFG->maxcategorydepth changed default value to 2 since we have AJAX loading now
- FRONTPAGECOURSELIMIT is transformed to CFG->frontpagecourselimit
c
- If we want to check fields 'numsections' or 'hiddensections' call course_get_format()->get_format_options()
- We still use extended course object in course/edit.php, update_course(), create_course(), and inside course formats
- 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
