=======================================
WARNING: DEV IS CURRENTLY VERY UNSTABLE.
This is a mega-checkin of the new Roles system. A lot of changes have
been made in core and modules.
Currently there are a lot of rough edges and known problems. We are
working hard on these .. .the reason for getting this into HEAD at this
stage is enable us to move faster (our branch was diverging from HEAD
too much).
Please keep an eye on http://docs.moodle.org/en/Roles for current status
and information for developers on how to use the new Roles system.
Added default values to migrate2utf8.xml, for any varchar and text field types, if the default values for these fields were not defined as '' in the MySQL table creation script.
Committed by vyshane
Added new function, import_backup_file_silently
Changed everything that prints stuff to check for a constant first.
Backup_flush checks a different constant, this is so that output can still
get flushed to the browser when necessary but not print <li>s everywhere.
Please test this!
This patch allows the much requested selection of individual instances of modules within a course to backup and restore.
It needs A LOT of testing and probably some prettyifying too.
by the restore process. Such conversion is performed for
every backup file prior to 2005041100.
Wiki internal links are dinamically changed and then,
converted to Markdown. Bye, Wiki! ;-)
block is constructed. A new function exists to pump these notes out
in a standard way : print_recent_activity_note.
Module dependencies also updated because of this.
(While I was at it I also turned the autologinguests off for most module pages, except on the index.php pages and the view.php pages for those modules that allow guests)
The visibility of coursemodules is now always set through the function set_coursemodule_visible() in order to make sure that the associated events get updated in the calendar appropriately.
If moving a coursemodule to a hidden section then the module is set to hidden as well and its events are hidden in the calendar.
If deleting a coursemodule its events are deleted from the calendar.
The function choose_from_menu() has an extra optional argument $disabled which, when set to true, will disable the menu.
For the sake of consistency the function set_groupmode_for_module has been renamed to set_coursemodule_groupmode and the functions show_course_module() and hide_course_module() have been combined to set_coursemodule_visible().
