The get_items() and get_page_items() external methods should return
items only when the user has access. Otherwise, empty array for items
will be returned, with the exact error in the warnings parameter.
The Preview questions icon shouldn't be displayed unless the user can
edit the feedback or access to the reports; otherwise, it's causing
confusion (especially when the feedback is not opened).
Default value of the $flag argument changed in PHP 8.1 from ENT_COMPAT to ENT_QUOTES | ENT_SUBSTITUTE
To ensure consistent behavior across different PHP version the second parameter is now required for the functions:
htmlspecialchars(), htmlentities(), htmlspecialchars_decode(), html_entity_decode() and get_html_translation_table()
For a long time, Moodle has had the feature to force the language
for a whole course. This change adds the same feature at activity
level.
The course-level feature was controlled by a capability
moodle/course:setforcedlanguage, and I decided to use the same
capability to control this feature. I think a new capability would be
overkill.
This just deletes all the upgrade steps previous to 3.9.0. Some
small adjustments, like tweaking globals can also be applied
when needed.
Also includes an upgrade step to prevent upgrading from any
version < 2020061500 (v3.9.0) as anti-cheating measure.
The next commits will proceed to deprecate / remove functions
that were exclusively (usually belonging to upgradelib) being
used by those, now removed, upgrade steps. This is the list
of code to remove and document in upgrade.txt files:
- upgrade_analytics_fix_contextids_defaults()
- upgrade_convert_hub_config_site_param_names()
- upgrade_rename_prediction_actions_useful_incorrectly_flagged()
- \mod_forum\task\refresh_forum_post_counts adhoc task.
And these is the code that has NOT been removed
because it may be needed later (no matter there aren't uses now):
- \core_search\manager::clean_up_non_existing_area(), used by
- \core\task\clean_up_deleted_search_area_task adhoc task
Secondary nav previously had to be in my_plugin\local\views\secondary; this
location continues to work but is deprecated. The new location is
my_plugin\navigation\views\secondary.
Applied the following changes to various testcase classes:
- Namespaced with component[\level2-API]
- Moved to level2-API subdirectory when required.
- Fixed incorrect use statements with leading backslash.
- Remove file phpdoc block
- Remove MOODLE_INTERNAL if not needed.
- Changed code to point to global scope when needed.
- Fix some relative paths and comments here and there.
- All them passing individually.
- Complete runs passing too.
Special mention to:
- Moved to the level2 "privacy" namespace:
- \mod_assign\privacy\feedback_legacy_polyfill_test
- \mod_assign\privacy\submission_legacy_polyfill_test
- Moved to the level2 "task" namespace:
- \core_message\task\migrate_message_data_test
- \ltiservice_gradebookservices\task\cleanup_test
- \message_email\task\send_email_test
- \mod_lti\task\clean_access_tokens_test
- \mod_workshop\task\cron_task_test
- Moved to the level2 "event" namespace:
- \core_h5p\event\deleted_test
- \core_h5p\event\viewed_test
- Renamed to a better name:
- backup_forum_activity_task_test.php (missing "task")
Moodle announced that support for IE would be dropped back in August
2020 with Moodle 3.9 but not active steps were taken at that time. That
decision was made in MDLSITE-6109 and this particular step was meant to
be taken in Moodle 3.10.
This is the first step taken to actively drop support for IE.
This commit also bumps the browser support pattern from 0.25% to 0.3%.
The percentage here includes any browser where at least this percentage
of users worldwide may be using a browser. In this case it causes
support for Android 4.3-4.4 to be dropped, which relate to Android
KitKat (released 2013).
This combination of changes means that all of the supported browsers in
our compatibility list support modern features including async,
for...of, classes, native Promises, and more which has a huge impact on
the ease of debugging code, and drastically reduces the minified file
size because a number of native Polyfills included by Babel are no
longer included.
Unfortunately the babel minify-mangle plugin seems to be abandoned and
in certain circumstances can be very buggy. The only safe options are to
disable it, or to switch to a different minification library.
Not minifying our javascript is not ideal, so this commit updates the
javascript tasks to use a rollup, combined with babel, and terser.
Babel still converts code from ES/UMD/AMD to AMD modules with the
relevant browser support, whilst terser minifies the code.
The rollup bundler handles tracking and creation of sourcemaps, and
supports better parallelisation of the tasks.
Since the upgrade to Node LTS/Gallium requires an upgrade to @babel/core
and eslint, which change the built files anyway, this seems like the
ideal time to make this change.
