Very big theme changes, standardold theme has been split into two themes base and standard. Base theme contains only CSS that is absolutly required (e.g. layout, white space rules, specific widths) and standard (which now looks like standardwhite) contains all the frills.
The following noteable changes have also been made:
* Plugin CSS has been pushed back into the plugin directories as styles.css files.
* Install_print_header has been corrected.
* Redundant or deprecated rules have been removed.
* Several minor class changes throughout Moodle.
* CSS is now single line rules not multiline indented.
* Installs with theme=standardold automatically switch to standard.
* body classes / id now have prefixes to make it clearer what they are and avoid conflicts.
Also worth noting:
* There is still alot of tweaking that is required to get everything looking as it is supposed to, please be patient or better yet help out.
* I am currently working on the documentation for the themes system... it will be here soon.
Also included in this patch the ability to switch the dock from the left to right side of the screen.
Altered js_object_init to deliver Y like js_init_call does now.
Several minor tweaks made to the dock and navigation as well at the same time.
At the same time I have converted the calendar block to use YUI instead of overlib, this introduces one regression in that the panel is shown immediatly but should really have a minimal delay for usability.
This will be fixed once the theme changes for 2.0 have been commited
With 2500 courses the calendar was causing around 15000 queries at login and 5000 on the home page.
- Replaced queries inside loops with single unlooped queries.
- Fixed calendar so that course events will show when the users role is assigned at a category level.
- Moved calendar_session_vars() function call out of calendar/lib.php (including a lib should not have side effects)
Author: Matt Clarkson - with some conflict resolution from MartinL
to when the Blocks2 stuff was first committed).
Unless I have forgotten something important and this breaks stuff horribly
somewhere, then it should be taken out from many other standard blocks as well!
* Block authors no longer need to set $this->content_type
* If you want to make a "list" block, just derive from block_list
instead of block_base
* All switch() statements gone from library code
* Overloaded method is_empty() added to block classes for convenience
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.
