* Move the show/hide advanced button a bit down the page.
* Improve save button caption when creating a role.
* Don't show defaults on the basic define roles screen.
* Explain the background shading on the advanced roels screen.
* Fix the problem with the risks link to Moodle docs.
* Help icon by the permissions column heading.
* Tables with rotated <th>s, make them vertical-align: bottom.
* Rename explain.php and explainhascapability.php to check.php and explain.php
* Tool tips on the number headers in the explain table.
* Explain table - role names were missing.
* Allow link_to_popup_window to work with full URLs.
I have made them float right, and reduced the padding on the red box, so they don't cuause the height of the form to change so much, if the error fits to the right of the form control. I realise that some people may not like this, which I why I have done this in head only for now. I will revert this if told to.
* New basic define roles mode, with just an Allow checkbox for each capability.
* Button to toggle this form to/from advanced mode.
* Also, a separate mode for viewing a role definition, rather than just showing disabled checkboxes.
* Now duplicating a role just takes to you a pre-populated add role form, so you can double-check things before saving the new role.
* Deleting a role is now logged.
* Role reordering code cleaned up.
* You can now no longer delete the last role that has admin permissions.
* This includes a general refactor of manage.php, which eliminates manage.html, and splits of define.php.
This is being separated from manage.php. This code is only partly working. It displays (most) of a role definition, but does not yet let you save changes. However, I wanted to commit it before going home on Friday night. Since this is new code, it won't break anything.
* Basic mode just hides the prohobit column. Sadly that is all we can do.
* Button to toggle in and out of advanced mode, with user_perference.
* The permission you are selected is now on the page as a label, rather than just being in a tool-tip. (Not pretty, but helpful, I think. I may change my mind on this.)
* You can click anywhere in the table cell, rather than having to hit the radio button exactly.
* Brief instructions at the top of the page.
* Submit buttons both top and bottom of the page.
I have collected code that used to be in lib/adminlib.php, lib/accesslib.php and user/selector/lib.php into a new admin/roles/lib.php file.
And I added standard GPL and Moodle comments to all the files in admin/roles.
This implements the page showing the table. It is not yet integrated into the tab bar. To try this, go to an Assign roles page (one with URL .../admin/roles/assign.php?contextid=...) and change the 'assign' to 'explain'.
* New table role_context_levels
* Populate table with defaults on install
* Populate table on upgrade with the same defaults, plus any additional ones needed to ensure all the role assignments already in the database are allowed.
* Change get_assignable_roles to respect these settings.
* UI for these settings on the add/edit role form.
* Save these settings when a role definition is saved.
* If in a context, there are no roles you can assign, display a polite message.
* Back up these settings.
* Restore these settings. When resotring a <=1.9.x backup file, any newly imported roles are set to be assignable at all contextlevels.
Restore not tested because it is broken in HEAD.
Including:
MDL-11529 When assigning/overriding roles, the dropdown for switching to another role should have a number in brackets
MDL-16549 Should not be able to edit the permission associated with moodle/site:doanything on any role.
* Make the role being assigned clear in the title
* Make the options in the middle of the page be in a collapsable options section, collapsed by default.
* Put them in a smaller font too.
* Switch the date selectors here to use a shorter date format, and change 'Course start date' to 'Course start'.
At the same time, I took the opportunity to try to work on some of the usability issues on this page. Note that I have not quite finished! So don't comment until tomorrow.
In the course of doing this, I also did: half of
MDL-11529 Show the number of assignees of each role in the change role dropdown on this page.
MDL-17067 Make it clear in the UI that admins are not allowed to unassign themselves.
To do this, I found a way to clean up the method signatures of a couple of accesslib methods, so I did, hence the fact that this seems to touch some unrelated files.
Also, there is a nice new method in accesslib get_context_url, which gives you the natural URL for a context, so the course view page, or the user profile, etc.
