The central "content" region on My Home / user profile pages also needs to
be initialised in lib/ajax/blocks.php in order to allow blocks to be
dropped into that region successfully. Some tweaks were also necessary in
order to correct the "content" region's structure in order for drag-drop
to function on this region on these pages.
Non-standard block regions (including the central "content" region
used by My Home and user profile pages) were causing the temporary empty
block region used as a drop target to sometimes appear in the wrong place.
The call to init_requirements_data (which includes the block drag-drop JS)
happens at a late enough stage in page generation that we can simply
pass the context ID through to the JS, so that it can be sent as part of
the AJAX request. This prevents lib/ajax/blocks.php from having to try
to guess the context from the other bits of information it receives, so
block drag-drop should now work everywhere without issues.
Other than shifting the initialisation from course/lib.php to
lib/outputrequirementslib.php, some workarounds/tweaks were required
in order to make it work correctly on admin pages and My Home.
The problem was that the root was breaking internal group handling in YUI loader for some reason. Without the root pattern property everything seems to work fine again.
- when loading core_filepicker we extend the Node element with functions necessary to display files list in different view modes;
- repository/filepicker.js is changed to use those functions;
- FileManager now has three different view modes (icon view, tree view and table view), JS code is re-used from FilePicker;
- files in FileManager no longer have context menu, they have one popup Widget with different actions instead;
- Added more templates for JS code to FileManager, use similar CSS class names as FilePicker;
- lib/filelib.php : fixed double slashes in path, return more data about files;
- lib/form/filemanager.php : pass information to FileManager about available licenses and default author;
- repository/draftfiles_ajax.php : return information about directory tree for file moving UI in FileManager, return formatted information;
- repository/lib.php : function repository::prepare_listing() now can work also with draftarea files listing;
- Filepicker window is now resizable and draggable;
- filepicker&renderer: removed id substitution from renderer, replaced it with classes (better readability);
- filepicker: allowed tree and table view for search results;
- filepicker: fixed small bug with displaying external link checkbox
- filepicker: display additional information about file in select window, repository returns more formatted information
- Added table view in Filepicker where for each file we show Name, Last modified, Size and Type. Sortable by column
- Preprocess list of files returned from repositories to include formatted size, dates, type and also add filetype icon
- Make sure that local repositories (coursefiles, filesystem, local, recent, user) return information about file size, datemodified, datecreated, author, license
- create repository renderer, implement functions for returning HTML templates used in filepicker
- let filepicker use HTML from templates
- move CSS for filemanager and filepicker to the separate css file in base theme
- use only YUI3 in filepicker (get rid of YUI2)
- add button for 'View details' in filepicker (though this view mode is still not ready)
Classes with magic properties such as context do not pass through json_encode().
The solution is to implement iterator in such classes and convert what we
feed to json_encode to array using 'foreach' before we pass it to json_encode():
- class context implements IteratorAggregate
- added function convert_to_array() that converts anything to array
- before calling json_encode we convert the argument to array
repositories wikimedia and youtube:
- save last search in
- process parameter 'page'
- remove buttons 'Refresh', 'Search' and 'Logout' since they don't have meaning
filepicker:
- allow unknown number of pages (['pages'] = -1), show one 'Next' page after the current (both JS and non-JS modes)
repository wikimedia:
- add non-AJAX search form to make it work with JS disabled
