This lets plugins other than activity modules backup and restore
question attempt data.
The old backup_questions_activity_structure_step and
restore_questions_activity_structure_step base classes still exist
and work exactly the same way they did before (because they use the
trait) so this change is completely backwards compatible.
To make this work fully, a few other things in the code had to be tweaked:
* Adding restore path elements had to consider the possibility of grouped
parents in more places.
* I needed to add protected get_task() to the restore_plugin class.
I don't think that is a problem.
* In the restore trait, the process_question_... methods needed to be
changed to public for some reasons to do with PHP traits that I don't
fully understand. However, I don't think this change is a problem.
* The way question_usage restore got the new contextid had to be changed
(or it did not work in activity contexts), but the new code looks like
a better way to do it anyway so that is good.
This commit is part of work on Custom fields API,
to minimize commit history in moodle core the work of a team of developers was split
into several commits with different authors but the authorship of individual
lines of code may be different from the commit author.
1) There is no need to store the 'timemodified' value of
the section when backing up a course module, they do
not refer to the same time.
2) When creating a new course section during restore use
the current time.
3) Added timemodified value to more places when updating
the 'course_sections' table.
Add field 'visibleoncoursepage' to the course_modules table
Add site-wide setting for turning on stealth mode availability
Add callback for "stealth" mode support in the course formats
Change display of modules/sections availability on the course page
Using standard subplugin support, this commit implements
the backup of logstore subplugins in general and the
standard logstore in particular. Notes:
- Uses a custom final element (base64_encode_final_element) to
support the storage of serialized 'other' information in logs.
- Organization: Instead of directly extending backup_subplugin,
every logstore extends backup_tool_log_logstore_subplugin just
in case any shared code is needed in the future.
- Implements both course and activity logs, sharing the structure
completely (both are based in contextid to pick the target
information, from database or whatever other logstores use).
In order to implement the backup and restore of log stores, that
are created as subplugins of the tool_log plugin , we need to
extend subplugins support from activities to virtually any plugin.
Basically that implies moving the add_subplugin_structure() method from
its current, restricted, activity level to general backup_structure_step.
This commit implements the change in backup, covered with tests verifying
old, bc behavior and also new, general one.
In order to prevent changes in the existing grades when we fix bugs
we are introducing the gradebook code versioning. Each course may
"freeze" the code version to the older date. Freezing is usually done
during upgrade or restore and can be removed by the teacher by pressing
the button and accepting potential grade changes. There is no visible
setting and not possible to change the version back manually.
See MDL-50432 and MDL-50522
This setting is not compatible with combinations of aggregation methods
and the ways in which it does and does not work are not documented. It
was voted to remove it completely by the gradebook workshop, so I have
completely removed it and added a warning for all affected courses + restored
backups.
