A new configuration variable is avaliable to limit which fields normal user can see about other users. Teachers/admins can still see the full info.
This provides some degree of privacy for students.
In addition, if any tutor in the list is not subscribed to the teacher forum they will be subscribed automatically.
Also show hidden tutors as well when a teacher is viewing the participants list.
And some small bug fixes
Users can now be assigned to multiple groups. Thanks Yu!
Break out the Bob Marley!!
Otherwise groups work more or less like they did before.
This has been pretty well tested by Yu and myself, but since Yu started
uncovering lots of existing groups bugs it's possible there may be still
a few corner cases still lurking here and there.
Please help test this thoroughly for 1.6!!
Fix for bug 4127:
In the course participants page, selecting an initials filter in one course
and then moving to another (the filter would propagate) could result in few
or no results being displayed. The teacher would then have no way of
resetting the filter and viewing all (or possibly any) participants.
Fixed by making each course participant page independent. They no longer
share sort orders, collapsed column state, or initials filters.
Converted the students table to use the new table class
Fixed bug 3114: when sorting by country, prepend country code to the country name
Fixed behavior of autohiding teacher list; now there is a hide/show icon to be
consistent with the rest of Moodle
Fixed "show all" option so that the user can control it instead of relying on auto behavior
Fixed HTML, removed all inline styles
Improved accessibility (alt tags for images)
Updated obsolete optional_variable calls to optional_param
Several cosmetic and other improvements I 've already forgotten :P
* Extended set_config()
* Implemented get_config() which takes over $CFG loading in setup.php
* admin/auth.php has special handling if post vars starting in pluginconfig_
* admin/auth.php print_auth_lock_options() prints a form fragment -- being called from most plugins now
* user/edit.php follows the new convention when locking down fields, both javascript UI and on POST.
* admin/auth: More solid checking for auth GET/POST var.
* admin/auth: print_auth_lock_options() now handles user field mapping options for LDAP and similar modules
* admin/auth: user mapping options have moved to config_plugins table
* auth/ldap module has migrated to using new field mapping vars -- simplified config.html a lot
* auth settings migration to config_plugins
