This allows profiling to be started earlier in the
setup.php execution, by configuring everything in
the config.php file. That way some interesting code
is also profiled, like DB connections, load of config records...
100% compatible with normal profiling and enabled via
special setting $CFG->earlyprofilingenabled
Example (to be put on config.php):
$CFG->earlyprofilingenabled = true;
$CFG->profilingautofrec = 3;
$CFG->profilingincluded = '/*';
$CFG->profilingallowme = true;
(to enable early profiling for 1/3 of any requests while also
allowing to use the PROFILEME PGC)
This patch reimplements the internal cache that was used to store the
list of available translations in Moodle 1.x. By default, the method
get_list_of_translations() still uses the file
moodledata/cache/languages to store the list of available translations.
The location of that file can be redefined in config.php. The internal
format of the cache file is JSON now (used to be a plain text list).
The patch also fixes a usage of the global $CFG in translation_exists()
methods where the internal property should be used instead.
Administrators can now specify $CFG->langcacheroot in their config.php for
alternative location of strings disk cache. If the alternative location is
not set, Moodle uses default $CFG->dataroot/cache/lang
Navigation has now been re-ordered in accordance with http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Navigation_2.0_structure.
This has led to several changes in the way in which navigation is generated included API changes, most notably using the
navigation_nodes add method now returns the newly added node rather than the key.
At the same time the global_navigation_tree block has been renamed to navigation and settings_navigation_tree to settings.
This is part of http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Theme_engines_for_Moodle%3F
$THEME is now initialised at the same time as $OUTPUT. Old functions like
theme_setup are deprecated in favour of methods on $PAGE. There is a new
theme_config class in outputlib.php that deals with loading the theme config.php file.
CSS used to be served by themes styles.php files calling a function in weblib.php.
Now it works by each theme's styles.php file doing
$themename = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../theme/styles.php');
which is less code to be copied into each theme. (Old-style styles.php files still
work thanks to some code in deprecatedlib.php.)
Admin UI for choosing a theme cleaned up.
A couple of theme-specific hard-coded hacks like $THEME->cssconstants and
$THEME->CSSEdit have been replaced by a more generic $THEME->customcssoutputfunction
hook. See examples at the end of outputlib.php
Also:
* Fix setting the theme in the URL, which seems to have been broken since 1.9.
* Fix up errors on a few pages caused by the new initialisation order.
* MDL-19097 moodle_page::set_course should not set $COURSE unless it is $PAGE.
* httpsrequired() from moodlelib.php moved to $PAGE->https_required().
* Move has_started() method to the renderer base class.
* Further fixes to display of early errors.
* Remove print_header/footer_old from weblib. I did not mean to commit them before.
