The SDK that this plugin was designed around is not compatible with recent
versions of Alfresco so the decisio has been made to move the repository to
the plugins database.
There was a problem with core\update\code_manager::unzip_plugin_file()
if it was used to extract a plugin package into a non-empty target
directory and the plugin package root folder was being renamed at the
same time.
The problem was caused by the underlying helper method
rename_extracted_rootdir() that worked only for ZIPs extracted to an
empty temporary location. When the plugin was extracted to the actual
dirroot with other existing plugin folders present, the method failed
badly.
The solution in the patch is to always extract the ZIP into a temporary
empty location, perform the eventual root renaming there, and only then
move the extracted contents to the final destination. Additionally we
are changing the behaviour of the rename_extracted_rootdir() method so
that now it throws exception if the plugin package contains multiple
root folders (it should not happen in normal situations as such a plugin
would not pass the pre-install validation).
Unit tests did not catch this bug before because in the tests, the
target directory had been empty. Now we are adding a new directory
"aaa_another" to the target location to test in more realistic
environment. Tests for the new behaviour of the renaming method are
added, too.
p.s. I noticed that moodle_exception class was not imported into the
namespace and this is fixed now too (and covered with unit tests).
useredit_update_picture as moved to user_update_picture
as it's more general. It was also moved to user/lib.php
so it can be used by both webservices and edit without more include files.
The validation of the timezone field should not occur, especially
when it is automatically cleaned. Timezones can be volatile, we
must try hard to fallback on real timezones and must not lose reset
the values arbitrarily.
"There is absolutely no need to change $CFG->timezone and user timezones
in database - the timezones may come and go. If you change the value in
upgrade or on the fly you would not be able to get it back. This is the
reason why I implemented the "invalid timezone" thing in server and
user settings instead." - Petr Skoda (MDL-49684)
The value Etc/GMT-14 was added to the list of known timezones,
and Etc/GMT+13 & Etc/GMT+14 were removed as they are not valid.
Tests were added to ensure that legacy user timezones are mapped
to known timezones. Other tests were changed to reflect the changes
with regards to Etc/GMT+13 and +-14.
