This allows the teacher to define what students are supposed to submit
(online text and/or attachment) and if the given submission part is
required or optional.
It was decided to roll only configuration dates and any date related to user content
such as 'timecreated' , 'timemodified' etc should not be rolled forward.
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 was reported at the Open University that there have been some
problems with the formats of files submitted by students. Not all
students completed their outlines as a Word .doc (despite this being the
format of the template provided). Some formats (e.g. .pages) couldn’t be
translated by some of the reviewing students. Therefore, they were
unable to provide a review and the submitting students not receiving any
comments.
This patch allows the teacher to define list of allowed file types that
can be attached to submitted work and/or overall feedback in the
workshop.
