Firstly, I'm replacing all use of old-style global variables like
$HTTY_REFERER with their new-style equivalent $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]
Also using $_POST instead $HTTP_POST_VARS etc
Secondly, if gdversion == 0 (ie GD is not installed) then:
- users are not even allowed to upload new images
- graphs now just print a message instead of failing.
this allows Moodle to still be used even if GD is not present
Moodle tables.
ie user -> userid in many tables, plus in user_students
start -> starttime and end -> endtime
I've just done all this as carefully as I could ... I don't think
I missed anything but it's pretty intensive work and I'd be fooling myself
if I didn't think I'd missed a couple.
Note that this version should pretty much be able to bootstrap itself
using PostgreSQL now ... but this is untested
Basically all the Database functions are in lib/datalib.php
and the web functions are all in lib/weblib.php, so
moodlelib.php is much thinner than it was.
Data functions have been extended ... most old calls will
still work, but now many more SQL commands can be performed
using the datalib functions rather than using SQL. I'm
currently moving through the whole tree replacing SQL
calls or at least concentrating them in one section of
mod/xxx/lib.php
Still working on forums, quizzes, surveys, resources.
The tree is currently not full working ... some things are
half-completed ... will resume tomorrow.
Changes to expand "open" option in forums. Now have a choice between
three options: new discussions and new replies, new replies only and
no new discussions or new replies.
Three new options in lang/forum.php and I changed "allowdiscussions".
modular (at slight cost to performance) and every modules can now
have a module_print_recent_activity() function. This function
takes a list of logs, searches for things to display and does so.
So far I've done forum and journal functions
to the login screen to login first. However, this was being saved
as the place to go back to after replying.
I added a check for this so now it behaves as you'd expect.
They are stored in the course moddata area.
They appear as links within the message, including mailed-out messages.
They are deleted when the post is deleted.
