rest of Moodle. The convention for blocks is now:
class block_something extends block_base { ... }
HOWTO updated accordingly, plus some more minor polishing. More to come.
Code based on the work of Daryl Hawes for the blog module. Thanks, Daryl!
Please test the hell out of it as it's sure to have issues that need to be
ironed out.
Changed the way applicable formats for blocks are handled. The changes are
short codewise, but to grasp all the implications read the forum discussion
at the relevant URL.
1. Much better and more intuitive handling of filters.
2. Simplified user interface for guests.
3. Feature request implemented: bug #1431
4. A number of significant bugfixes
Upcoming events were not displayed before calendar_session_vars() was called
at least once. The upcoming events block did not do that, because once upon a
time it was displayed below the month view, which was known to do it :)
Solution: calendar_session_vars() is now called directly from lib.php.
Integrated with Moodle:
- Install automatically.
- Update course->blockinfo for each course at installation time.
- Modified course creation to insert into blockinfo field.
- Modified restore to insert into blockinfo field.
- Admin options (hide, show, delete, config) from admin page.
- Lang strings inserted (en only).
- Database support to mysql and postgresql (not tested!!).
Moodle, backup and block versions updated to 2004041800.
Tested with mysql: Install fresh and upgrade from previous.
section_activities block renamed to social_activities and created
its own lang file to support name "Social Activities". This can
be changed at any time.
TODO:
=====
Support it really in backup/restore.
????
Enjoy!! Ciao :-)
