Allow both UI and automated backups to be created without
including files. Instead include only file references.
This is essentially implementing "SAMESITE" to backup files
instead of only for import and export functionality.
A new backup setting to include files (defaults to yes)
has been included.
The restore process will also look for and attempt to
restore files from the trashdir as part of restoring
backups. Additionally to support this process the
ammount of time files are kept in trashdir before they
are cleaned up via cron is also adjustable via admin
setting.
Significant string changes:
* direct:view,gradeimport_direct - wording corrected from 'CSV' to
'spreadsheet'
* limitanswers_help,mod_choice - additional wording added explaining how
the setting works with groups
* pluginname,customfield_text - 'Text field' plugin renamed to
'Short text'
This patch adds asynchronous backup and restore functionality
to Moodle. This is an optional feature and is not enabled by
default. It can be enabled by site administrators.
Asynchronous backup and restores are actioned by the Moodle
adhoc task API. The progress of backup and restores is
displayedin the Moodle UI. Users can also be sent a message
when a backup or restore operation completes via the
Moodle messaging API.
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.
Significant string changes:
* completionpass_help, gradetopassnotset in mod_quiz - grade to pass set
in quiz settings not gradebook
* namecolumnmissing,core_cohort - fixing incorrect message about adding
users to a cohort
Changes:
- Add logic to retrieve all the existing current roles.
- Apply the backup's role shortname by matching on the archetype.
- Added backup lang string 'undefinedrolemapping'.
When doing a backup or restore operation with the normal user interface,
if there is anything in the backup/restore log, it will now be displayed
at the end of the process below the Continue button.
If you have developer debugging enabled, it sets the display level to
LOG_DEBUG and there will always be content in the log. Otherwise, it
uses LOG_INFO which generally means the log is empty, and nothing
displays (no visible change for users).
Now users can choose to exclude the question bank from the backup,
this will in turn prevent any modules which use the question bank
from being included in the backup.
Add to the existing 'select all/none' JavaScript so that users can choose
to select or deselect everything of a certain module (e.g. deselect all
forums).
1. Changes progress bar code to allow headings for progress bar (so users have
some clue what's going on if a page has more than one progress bar).
2. Changes restore code so that a progress bar can display during pre-checks if
they take longer than 5 seconds.
3. Changes pre-check and restore code so that, in various points where the system
can take a long time within an individual step, intederminate progress is
indicated and it won't time out.
