I have a site which really needs this, so I went ahead with it already.
This add-on will cache formatted texts in the database and use them
for a specified timeperiod.
By default it is disabled. Enable it with:
$CFG->cachetext = 600; // in seconds
Logs now include a field called modid which contains the coursemodule id.
This makes it now possible to
- see complete logs per-activity
- do backup/restore of logs
The upgrade process will currently try to scan all the old logs and
rebuild this field based on available data (especially forums).
STILL TO DO: alter all the non-forum modules to send the coursemodule id
--------------------------------------
New functions and tables, based on work from Gustav Delius
(see http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=4466)
This forms the core of a new system to store, track and utilise
event information in all modules, as well as allowing external
calendars to be synchronised with new information.
It's very early (it doesn't actually do anything yet!) but you can
define groups and get an idea of how the interface is shaping up.
I also wanted to show that I have actually done something on this! :-)
From here my plan is to add group support to the modules, one by one
(forums first), then go back and clean up some of the central interfaces,
graphics etc.
Finally, test, test, test and get 1.2 out well before the end of February.
What happens is that adding random questions used to set the timestamps
of these questions to the same value. This is fine in normal operation,
but it stuffs up the backup of that course, overwriting the question.
When the course is restored, the missing questions cause quizzes to
have lots of red notices like "Question not found".
Anyhow, this patch should safely fix older installations that may have
these duplicate questions lying around.
THANKS ELOY!
This is a course setting. By default it is off. When on, there
is a new link in the course admin menu for students, and they can
browse the same report that teachers see.
The report icon is temporary.
for recording the last access to the COURSE.
This is updated at the same time as add_to_log and is now used instead
of user->lastaccess when course user listings are required.
This means course listings now show what you expect and open up the way
for a "current users" listing and instant messaging etc ...
1) There is a new site-wide configuration variable called maxbytes,
which provides an upper filesize limit for all (student) uploads.
2) There is a new course-level variable called maxbytes, which further
limits uploads within a course.
3) There is a new maxbytes field for forums, which further restricts
the size allowed in a particular forum. There is also a new config
variable in the module configuration to specify a default size
to use when defining a new forum.
4) Assignments already had a limit, but this is now aware of the other
limits, and like forums there is now a settable default value.
5) Finally, the sizes of files (Gb, Mb, Kb, bytes) is now translatable
in the language packs.
that tells us how far to indent the activity when it is displayed.
This gives us some more flexibility on the course outline to
arrange things as we might like them, into subtopics etc
Backup/restore is updated as well.
There is also a bit more robustness in course/mod.php
