In PHP 8.2 and later, setting a value to an undeclared class property is
deprecated and emits a deprecation notice.
So we need to add missing class properties that still need to be declared.
While working on this issue, even though it's not related to the deprecation issue,
I added 'use core_external\external_api' to avoid the 'Undefined type external_api' warning at
mod_lti_testcase::generate_tool_proxy().
Default value of the $flag argument changed in PHP 8.1 from ENT_COMPAT to ENT_QUOTES | ENT_SUBSTITUTE
To ensure consistent behavior across different PHP version the second parameter is now required for the functions:
htmlspecialchars(), htmlentities(), htmlspecialchars_decode(), html_entity_decode() and get_html_translation_table()
This issue just goes over all the currently incorrect
namespaces in test cases and:
1. Change the namespace to the correct one.
2. Move/rename it to correct location if needed (level 2 and down).
3. Remove not needed MOODLE_INTERNAL check when possible.
4. Remove file phpdoc when the file only has one class.
5. Make small adjustments in case the change of namespace requires it.
For a long time, Moodle has had the feature to force the language
for a whole course. This change adds the same feature at activity
level.
The course-level feature was controlled by a capability
moodle/course:setforcedlanguage, and I decided to use the same
capability to control this feature. I think a new capability would be
overkill.
Removal of the callback get_shortcuts() and its plugin implementations.
The private methods in the content_item_readonly_repository class
which were only used by the callback hook logic are also removed.
This just deletes all the upgrade steps previous to 3.9.0. Some
small adjustments, like tweaking globals can also be applied
when needed.
Also includes an upgrade step to prevent upgrading from any
version < 2020061500 (v3.9.0) as anti-cheating measure.
The next commits will proceed to deprecate / remove functions
that were exclusively (usually belonging to upgradelib) being
used by those, now removed, upgrade steps. This is the list
of code to remove and document in upgrade.txt files:
- upgrade_analytics_fix_contextids_defaults()
- upgrade_convert_hub_config_site_param_names()
- upgrade_rename_prediction_actions_useful_incorrectly_flagged()
- \mod_forum\task\refresh_forum_post_counts adhoc task.
And these is the code that has NOT been removed
because it may be needed later (no matter there aren't uses now):
- \core_search\manager::clean_up_non_existing_area(), used by
- \core\task\clean_up_deleted_search_area_task adhoc task
Use #region-main-box and not .mform in the selector, otherwise it may
return the wrong mform, such as global search, if enabled. This is the
same way the form is selected in showMultipleSummaryAndHideForm().
