Problem:
When the aggregation method is set to "natural," grade items' weights
and the maximum grade of the grade category's item get recalculated,
causing the needsupdate flag to be set to true. As a result, the locking
process was skipped, leading to unexpected behaviour.
Solution:
To address the issue, the set_locked method has been modified. Instead
of skipping the locking process, the method now schedules the locking of
grade items to occur slightly in the past, specifically one second in
the past. This ensures that the grade item will be automatically locked
after the recalculations are completed.
Explanation:
By making this adjustment, we ensure that the locking process is not
skipped during natural aggregation, maintaining consistent behaviour and
preventing any unintended consequences related to grade item locking.
The $CFG->grade_navmethod setting has been removed because it is not
required anymore. This setting was used to set the type of navigation
(tabs or dropdown box) which will be used in gradebook. However, these
navigation methods are no longer used and replaced with tertiary
navigation.
* renamed Preferences to "My report preferences"
* renamed Site defaults to "Report defaults"
* rename Change site defaults to "Change report defaults"
* reintroduced Inherit option to Grader preferences - Nicolas was right, it is not possible to implement preference overrides without it with our current get_pref inplementation
* new separate option in plugin selector "Course settings"
* moved displaytype, decimals and aggregation position to "Course settings"
* created new table grade_settings + related functions grade_get/set_preference()
* user report now uses grade_seq class instead of grade_item::fetch_all(); added preloading of grade items into grade_grade instances
* other minor bugfixing/cleanup/improvements
Please note that the Grader report preferences and its defaults must be resaved again - sorry.
