- The get_conversation_messages has been added to the API and the WS
with the conversation identifier (convid) instead of the userto,
to let get conversation messages and the members involved.
- The cache has been also reviewed, to use the convid instead of the
[userfrom, userto] keys.
- The get_most_recent_conversation_messages has been added to the API
to update the cache when needed.
The aim is to use this to standardise the member information we return
from several methods in the API, such as get_conversations,
get_conversation_messages, get_conversation_members, and in search
methods.
This function has been deprecated and no other function has been
added to replace it. It was only called from can_post_message, so
its code has been moved there.
Created capability 'moodle/site:messageanyuser' to allow
bypass user privacy preferences for messaging participants in a course,
even when some of them has blocked the teacher.
Add new messaging profile preferences to allow users to choose who
can message them:
- By default, users can select between 'My contacts only' and 'My
contacts and anyone in my courses'
- When $CFG->messagingallusers is enabled, a new option is displayed
also: 'Anyone on the site'. For users who have selected this option,
if $CFG->messagingallusers is disabled, the behaviour will be changed
to 'My contacts and anyone in my courses'
Also deprecated the following functions -
1. message_move_userfrom_unread2read - It is not necessary
for us to mark a message as read on user deletion.
2. message_get_blocked_users - Horrible logic used to
determine if a user is blocked via reference on some
randomly chosen 'isblocked' variable.
3. message_get_contacts - The same as above. This can be
done in a much nicer way.
4. message_mark_message_read - We want two functions to do
this to avoid confusing messages and notifications.
5. message_can_delete_message - This assumed the variable
$message contained the 'useridto' property, which
was present in the old table structure. We do not want
future usages where a query is done on the new table
and is simply passed as this won't contain this property.
6. message_delete_message - Same as above.
This change considers all existing search areas in Moodle and makes
necessary changes.
Custom change to course search, supported by helper in base.php:
* course/classes/search/mycourse.php
Custom change to message search:
* message/classes/search/message_received.php
* message/classes/search/message_sent.php
Custom change to user search:
* user/classes/search/user.php
Custom changes to module areas, supported by helper in base_mod.php:

(Note: the unit tests do not exhaustively check every context type
for these, given that's mainly handled by the helper function
which was already tested in the base_activity test.)
