Made isteacher() require that the first parameter (course id) be
specified and non-empty. If it is empty, [i.e., 0, which was used to
simulate what has now become isteacherinanycourse()], then the return
value IS correct but a warning is printed on screen. This should allow
us to track down any such calls in legacy modules without breaking Moodle.
The correct way to check for teacher status in ANY course is now to
call isteacherinanycourse().
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.
Integrated with Moodle:
- Install automatically.
- Update course->blockinfo for each course at installation time.
- Modified course creation to insert into blockinfo field.
- Modified restore to insert into blockinfo field.
- Admin options (hide, show, delete, config) from admin page.
- Lang strings inserted (en only).
- Database support to mysql and postgresql (not tested!!).
Moodle, backup and block versions updated to 2004041800.
Tested with mysql: Install fresh and upgrade from previous.
section_activities block renamed to social_activities and created
its own lang file to support name "Social Activities". This can
be changed at any time.
