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.
Creates a new 'Users' field in the search filters form. This field
requires new JavaScript and, to implement this, a new AJAX-callable
web service to search for users by name, with detailed restrictions
based on the current user's access to view profiles.
The search areas screen contains several options which are potentially
risky for a live site but can be triggered by accidentally clicking a
single button or link.
This change adds a confirmation prompt for all these options.
The enable/disable search area icon does not have a confirmation
prompt because this is nondestructive (you can just click the icon
again to change it back).
Implements a mechanism by which search engines can provide different
result orderings, and implements a 'by location' ordering within the
Solr search engine (available whenever the user starts their search
from within a course or activity).
Adds group support to the core search API and the Solr search engine.
This allows for:
* User searching by group (in the API only, no interface yet)
* Automatically restrict search results by group (in some cases like
separate-groups forums)
Adds a new 'Gradual reindex' link to the search areas page for each
area. When clicked, this takes you to a confirm prompt, and then
adds each context from that search area to the indexing queue.
The search areas page now displays the 'Additional indexing queue'
(if it is non-empty). The table shows the first 10 items in the
queue, and it also indicates the total number in case there are
more. (I don't think people really need to see the entire
contents of it, so I didn't implement paging.)
Introducing both APIs in moodle along with:
- search_box widget to add a tiny search box
- admin settings with setup steps helper
- cache for search results
- template for a search result
- php unit stuff
Many thanks to Tomasz Muras, Prateek Sachan and Daniel Neis for their contributions, for starting this development
and for pushing for it to be completed. Also thanks to other contributors: Jonathan Harker and eugeneventer.
From now on, all English strings use the new syntax. They are not
eval()'ed any more and the only valid placeholders are {$a} and
{$a->foobar}. No extra quotes escaping, dollar sign escaping and putting
double percent signs.
The modified files were exported from AMOS database repository in the
new syntax and were re-ordered by stringid. Standard GNU/GPL and PHPdoc
blocks are added. Where there was no copyright note so far, I added the
default one with Martin Dougiamas as the copyright holder.
Live long and prosper.
