When a user user selects the unread messages link from the forum
discussion page, the link does not include '#unread' in the url.
This patch appends '#unread' to the url by changing the appropriate
value in the reference link assigned to $out within the function
forum_cm_info_view() of the 'lib.php'file.
A similar change is on the forum index.
dirname() is a slow function compared with __DIR__ and using
'/../'. Moodle has a large number of legacy files that are included
each time a page loads and is not able to use an autoloader as it is
functional code. This allows those required includes to perform as
best as possible in this situation.
It is possible for users with the mod/forum:managesubscriptions to
subscribe to forums with subscription disabled. This is handled by
forum_get_subscribe_link() already and should have been handled here all
along.
* debugging add_to_log() calls - the Moodle log is not the
place for these kind of messages
* subscribeall/unsusbcribeall - now individual subscriptions
will fire events, there is no need for a catch all.
* remove read tracking log entries - read tracking individual
log entries do not provide enough reliable information, as
the posts can be marked as read automatically after emailing
or an expiry period.
Commit for MDL-29663 that renames the FORUM_TRACKING_ON constant
to FORUM_TRACKING_FORCED to allow easier and more consistant reading.
FORUM_TRACKING_ON retained but marked depreciated.
Converts the use of Read Tracking On to Forced. Adds new admin setting
forum_allowforcedreadtracking. If set, Forced will be available when
adding or editing forums. In this state the forced forum overrides the
user preference of off.
With forum_allowforcedreadtracking not set (default) behavior is the
same as now, except forums previously set in the On state are treated
as Optional.
The side effect of forum_allowforcedreadtracking being on, is that users
cannot speed up the loading of course pages with lots of forums by
setting their personal forum read tracking option to off.
* class html_component does not exist any more
* class html_table rendered via html_writer::table()
* html_table, html_table_row and html_table_cell have public $attributes property to set their CSS classes
* dropped rotateheaders feature, should be added again after more research of possible ways (<svg> is not nice IMHO)
* dropped possibility to define CSS classes for table heading, body and footer - can be easily done and better done using just table class and context
